15: My Mental Health Story
This episode is a little different than usual but it’s about a topic that we can all relate to - mental health. From time to time, we all struggle with feeling low energy, uninspired, even sad and lonely. At times like these, negative self-talk can quickly take over and drive us even further into feeling completely helpless. But know this - whether you have felt like this before or if you’re feeling a ton of pain right now, you are not alone and you matter! I want to share my mental health story with you because I know what it’s like and I want to help you see the light at the end of the tunnel and empower you to see the best in yourself and reach out, if you need to.
