It seems that when people think of health and wellness, they automatically go to eating healthy foods, being physically active, or looking a certain way. Our mental and emotional health is often over looked or put on the back burner, even though those two aspects really dictate our overall physical health and well-being. The reason I am focusing on this today is because four years ago I entered into a world of unknowns that really put my mental and emotional health to the test. On September 27, 2015 I boarded a plane to Stockholm, Sweden to join my then boyfriend, now husband as he continued his career as a professional hockey player in Europe, after a few years of playing in the States. That is the day I became an expat.
