Hey, y'all, it's your girl, Marissa McKool host of the Thoughts Are Your Root Cause podcast. Are you a public health student or professional feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and anxious? Then you're in the right place. This week, Im going to outline why everyone in public health needs to begin working to change their thinking to improve how they feel and the results we create in our lives.

Im going to share the purpose and the goal for this podcast and outline four main reasons I believe public health needs this work and tools:

1. Eliminate the experience of burnout
2. Get more public health professionals into public positions of power to change policy
3. Address racism in public health systems and the workforce
4. Help professionals stop under-earning for the value of their skills

Hope you join me!
