While we all have our own challenges and particular journey, when it comes to confronting difficulties and working through mental health issues, courage and awareness are two tools that we can all use. Here on the show today to talk about the need for leaps of faith in order to feel, and subsequently heal, is the amazing and inspiring Maddie Ace. Maddie is a singer, writer, podcaster, and all round creative soul, with so much great insight to offer. Our conversation centers around her story and struggles with mental health, and how she turned these challenges into an entry point to helping others! Maddie shares openly about the vital moment in her life that led to a difficult breakdown and also allowed her to push forward into a stronger version of herself. We discuss the missing pieces that so many of us can identify when we experience something like this, and Maddie shares the actual lessons she wishes she had been exposed to at school! We reflect on the wisdom of the body and why concentrating on what we want to feel, might be the best way to move forward. The conversation also touches on how music has helped Maddie, and she gets into the process of pouring herself into songwriting about her experiences. Listeners can expect an open and generous chat, with helpful ideas and some great tips for resources and strategies to use in times of need. Tune in to hear it all!
