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.

[03:23] Mental health journey. Even though I am super positive and bubbly person now, it took a lot of work for me to get to this point. I share with you my mental health struggles from back in the day. 

[10:04] I love you and you matter! Whether you have struggled with mental health issues or if you’re listening and feeling a lot of pain, know that you are not alone! Nobody should feel that pain and your experience can help others. 

[12:07] Realising that you are not your thoughts. How meditation played a game-changing role in my mental health journey and why it can be one of the most effective tools to use if you are also struggling.

[18:12] Sharing a reading from a book that not only helped me but can also help you see things in a more positive light.
