In episode thirteen, I sit with Dan from You Me & Anxiety. We discuss the reasons for starting the blog and setting out to change the stigma that surrounds mental health.
We talk about the role of reflection and talking about life experiences and how this process has helped Dan.
Dan shares how starting the blog has allowed him to
meet others in similar situations and feeling the same as him while also giving them a platform to express themselves.
