Navigating mental health, self advocacy and mindfulness with Lucia Greene.

Lucia Greene is a yoga and mediation teacher, spiritual healer, and current graduate student in a School Counselor program, theater performer, and a former teacher. To many, she seems like the epitome of being grounded and centered, but most don't see the incredible journey she has been on to get to this point. At age 15, Lucia started "feeling the big feelings". These feelings quickly grew into depression and suicidal thoughts that she hid throughout high school and college because "the show must go on", as they would say in her theater group. 

In this episode, we discuss Lucia's journey with mental health, how she developed a mindfulness practice, and how "refusing to be refused" saved her life. This episode offers SO many action steps for you, and SO much hope if you feel like you're never going to change or get better. 

Trigger warning, depression and suicidal ideation.
