In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts on my reflection of sharing my story, mental health, and World Mental Health Day on October 10th, 2021. We say our mental health is very important, yet I truly believe that we are being called to rises up and support more humans especially this year. It’s interesting because there’s a larger divide than ever which leaves people feeling isolated and alone. I say this with love and want this to land, as someone who’s been in the position of trying to save someone else, including herself, we cannot support anyone if we do not prioritize our own mental, physical and emotional well-being first.

In today’s episode we discuss:

1) Years ago a Counselor kindly told me that “if my kids decided to come back to us that we needed to be a springboard to be there to support them. And at that time we were a pile of quicksand.” That message has forever hit home.

2) We must prioritize what we need on a daily basis to be the best version of ourselves and that target with the demands of our life is moving every single day.

3) If you are needing support, help, guidance, or anything, please don’t be your own worst critic or judge yourself. Asking for help and being vulnerable are not signs of weakness, they are signs of strength.

4) Learning to share my story, opened up so many doors and opportunities that I couldn’t see possible, and it helped me to heal and support my own mental health.
