Welcome to episode 42 of Mind Bloom!

This week, I've taped the episode LIVE on Instagram again. 

As you can probably tell by now, I'm quite fascinated by the potencial of LIVES and IGTV. Not only, are they a great source of engagement (and fun, truth be told), but they are also a great way to double or triple your content and half your time on the platform or, say, editing a podcast episode. 

It's all about the self-care, right? So try going Live: you'll get a story, perhaps an Instagram Reel, a video for other platforms, and an IGTV post from only one piece of content.

Easy peasy. Want to make that your goal for the week? One Instagram Live? Let's go, you've got this!

This week, I'm talking about false support systems and empathy fails. I'm also going to challenge you to guess what my latest great news is. Can you guess? You definitely want to stay tuned for more.

My guest this week is Erin Cronican. Erin is an actor, producer, and the co-artistic director of The Seeing Place. She is an activist and a staunch advocate for mental health who believes in creativity, freedom and a tasty bourbon. Erin lives with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer and is here to tell us more about her first and second diagnoses and the importance of self-advocating.
