Bullying isn’t just “kids being kids”—it can leave deep, lasting scars on mental health.

In this episode, host, Mel Histon, and special guest, Charlotte Thaarup, explore the often-overlooked connection between bullying and anxiety, depression, and emotional trauma. They dive into how persistent bullying can affect the brain and central nervous system, influence self-perception, and shape a sense of safety that can last into adulthood.

Whether you’re a parent, educator, or someone reflecting on your own experiences, this conversation sheds light on how bullying impacts long-term mental well-being—and what can be done to support healing.

Each episode, I sit down with incredible women who are sharing their soulful wisdoms and finding deeper meaning in this life. We dive into real stories, honest conversations, and practical wisdom to help you feel inspired, seen, and ready to say YES to yourself.

I’ll also bring on experts in health, wellness, mindset, and spirituality to share their best tips on how to nurture your body, mind, and soul—because thriving in midlife is about feeling good inside and out. Because midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s an awakening.
