  • Motivation (Mental Health) Monday: Discovering Your Passion
    I've said before how my mental health condition is my super power. This may sound contradictory, but if I continued to let my mental health condition go untreated, I wouldn't have found my true passion or calling in life. This same principal applied to another individual. On this episode of Groove with Portia, I am joined by Erick Brazile, CEO & Founder of Healing Hyenas, which he started after a conversation with his therapist.
