Episode 2: Mental Health - Family Struggles & Growing up Fast
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses mental health topics (alcoholism, bipolar, etc) that may be uncomfortable and triggering for some individuals. If you need support at any time, please reach out to a qualified professional or reach out to one of the resources listed in our show notes below. You are not alone. <3
This is a hard episode for us - truly, editing and re-listening had us in tears - but we know it’s important to talk about these topics and experiences to show how we’ve worked through certain obstacles in our lives and become stronger because of them.
Growing up, both of us lived through traumatic experiences witnessing our loved ones go through mental health struggles. These experiences shaped us into who we are today and we never knew we had such similar upbringings until we started sharing our stories in this episode. Recorded on 9/12/2020.
