GET YOUR COFFEE, GET YOUR DAY

In this episode, I am joined by Brit Bronson she is a mental health activist, entrepreneur, and creative. She is the Founder and CEO of spaceMVMNT, a community for mental and emotional wellness that inspires others to do good and feel good. The Space Movement Mind Series is a free peer-led support group, where I personally have spoken and shared my story.

Key points:

Brit Bronson’s misdiagnosis and the grey space this created, followed by her correct diagnosis and the mixed feelings that came with this. 

Within her recovery journey after being correctly diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder and PTSD, Brit worried about what her life would look like after being diagnosed. She questioned how she would tell her friends if she would ever get a boyfriend and felt incredibly uncertain about the future. 

How accepting her own diagnosis was her most freeing and empowering moment to date.

How we can all choose our words carefully to impact communities more positively. 

Brit explains that bipolar 1 disorder is a chemical imbalance in the brain and together, we discuss what this means for her everyday life. 

Brit’s appreciation for life and passion for helping others and how this helps her to suppress intrusive thoughts.

September is suicide prevention month so we discuss how we can ask and support our peers through difficult discussions.

In this episode, I am joined by Ashley Roberts, a creative, member of The Pussycat Dolls and presenter of the Heart Breakfast Show, a major UK radio station. Ashley and I are dear friends and really bonded over sparking conversations about mental health during our time at Soul Cycle together.

 Key points:

What ‘Dancing In The Grey’ means to us and how Ashley’s life, following her music career and before embarking in radio, was consistently in ‘the grey’ due to ongoing uncertainty.

How Ashley used her hidden resilience to challenge the universe by saying ‘yes’ to opportunities during transformation periods of her life.

Trying new things such as hobbies and Ashley’s open personality which, allowed her to find herself and passion once again. 

Ashley’s coping strategies such as moving, exercise, podcasts, and relying on friends who are great listeners.

Ending your day by integrating your evening or morning with positive habits such as reading affirmations or poems.

Ashley was praying for support and direction when a radio opportunity was presented to her. She took the leap of faith despite uncertainty and doubt, now loves her job.

In this episode, I am joined by Molly Countermine, Doctor of Human Development and Family Studies at Penn State's University Park campus. Dr. Countermine delivered an emotionally moving TEDxPSU talk in March 2021, during which she describes going on a journey of personal growth after experiencing some unexpected obstacles in life, learning that it’s okay to not always be happy. She discusses how our brains aren’t wired for constant positivity and how we can live a fulfilling life through mindfulness. In her talk, she redefines what it means to be happy and how we can achieve this sought-after state.

 Key points:

Molly’s ‘breakthrough moment’ was during her time sustaining 3 jobs, being a mom, teacher, and musician, and the burnout she experienced

Embracing anxiety and making it bigger by seeing it as a moment of expansion

How Molly felt imposter syndrome due to being in a role model position whilst suffering from anxious feelings herself

How sharing stories of our mental health can reduce the gap between mental health recognition and diagnosis

The importance of sleep and how Molly overlooked this during her teaching and mom years

‘If things don’t go my way, it’s not a setback it’s a setup for what’s to come…’. In this episode, I am joined by Chef Lovely, TV host of Lovely Bites. I met Chef Lovely in Bloomingdale’s 9 years ago and we instantly connected. Lovely struggled with the difficulties of being in the public eye and began to doubt herself after doors were shut in her face. 

Key points:

Understanding that some people are not ready for what you are willing to bring to the table

Training your brain to look at life's obstacles as a positive instead of instantly going to the opposite space

Choosing how you are consciously reacting to negativity to better your personal wellbeing. 

Opting for productivity, moving away from unconstructive thoughts, and how making this choice can open new doors for yourself

Simple acts which show grace to others

Saying no to serve your highest good and setting boundaries

Practicing gratitude and utilizing this on a grey day to uplift yourself

Join me on the fourth episode of Dancing In The Grey with special guest Jennifer Marshall, fellow mental health advocate. Jenn sought out stories from others when she felt alone within her trauma and pain. She started to write an anonymous blog to help others who were struggling. 

A year and a half into her passion project, Jenn was offered to become a paid writer, spurring her to open up publicly, with her name. Flooded with thank you emails, Jenn made the decision to turn her growing blog into a show, raising $10,000 in just 31 days. Despite her success in mental health advocacy, Jenn struggled to prioritize her mental health throughout her life. 

Key points:

-       Coping with bipolar whilst under pressure to perform.

-       Dealing with postpartum psychosis. 

-       How Jenn went from 4 hospitalizations within 5 years to building overall wellness and becoming strong in her recovery.

-       Why mental health advocacy is so essential to young people searching for online help.

-       Coming to terms with the understanding that recovery is not linear. There is no shame in the time it takes to understand your mental health. 

I hope you find value in this episode and if you think someone needs to hear it, please leave a review and pass along the message. It's my mission to see everyone prioritizing their daily mental hygiene.

In this episode with suicide survivor, Kevin Hines, I dive into Kevin’s remarkable story. Kevin was born into poverty and faced severe adversity within his childhood. 


Following being diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder, at 19 years old Kevin planned to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge. The moment Kevin let go, he felt instant regret. 


Fast forward to 2021 and Kevin still sometimes faces the same thoughts but he now knows how to control them. To help himself and others, Kevin created a '10 step guide to better your brain health’. As Kevin describes, ‘Suicide is never the answer. It is the problem’.
