Anxiety Sucks!

Today, we have a father/son duo come on and chat about their mental health journey together. Mike Bernard is an author who wrote a book called It Sounded Better in my Head"  that is loosely based off his sons', Tim Bernard, mental health journey as he was growing up. Tim is a musician that wrote music that promotes mental health awareness and helps end the stigma surrounding mental illness. They chat with our hosts discussing the struggles of a parent child relationship through going a mental health journey.

This week has been busy with graduations and vacations so we thought it would be fun to bring back one of our most popular episodes from last year. This episode we begin the discussion about the importance of self care. We want to give you all some background in our journeys and  how self care plays a significant part in our lives. This is the start of a multi episode series on a adventure we went on together after the passing of family members in the hopes to find peace.
