  • Episode 42: Healing Through Serious Mental Illness Featuring Bipolar Bachelor’s Jarred Madison Frey

    ***Trigger warning for discussion of suicide attempts, psychosis, and mania.***

    Today’s episode is all about healing through severe mental illness. Most people who witness severe mental illness see the bigness of moments and may experience fear and worry for their loved ones. Hear from our guest, Jarred Madison Frey as he shares his personal journey living with Severe Mental Illness while experiencing multiple co-occurring diagnosis. 

    Jarred shares the traumatic experience that triggered his mental health struggles and shares how the majority of mental health diagnosis are rooted in some form of trauma. He unravels his reality of mania, psychosis, depression, hospitalizations, therapeutic treatments including therapy and psychiatry and how he found his way to naturopathic medicine as an integral foundation. Jared beautifully showcases how you don’t have to pick just one intervention in healing, you can utilize an eclectic approach to meet your individual needs. He discusses how his faith and spirituality has been at the heart of his journey while therapy, support systems, medication management, and naturopathic remedies have worked hand in hand to support him in healing.

    Jared's take away message that all should hear from this podcast is that “if you are out there today, there is always hope...and his name is Jesus. It is time that you know that you are worth more than what you see, it is time that you know that you are worth more than what you were, it is time that you know you are worth more than what you can be. You can be so much more”

                    Two months ago I started a 28 day energetic reset that was triggered by an extremely insightful and eerily accurate soul reading by a psychic named Chelsea MacLeod Schultz. Queue messy meltdowns and overthinking 😅. All jokes aside, after this soul reading I felt as though I was finally able to make sense of my feelings and emotions in big ways! And boy-oh-boy was it was equal parts confusing as it was exhilarating...I had no idea what to do next!...So naturally I created my own 28 day energetic reset that has morphed into a new way of living. 🙌🏻  Today I am going to share with you my takeaways from the past couple of months so you can learn the tips and tricks that have changed my life! I am feeling more energized, intuitive, self-aware, purposeful, and confident than I have felt in years 💪🏻.
