I touched base on my first episode of some mental illnesses I've experienced in my life. If someone had taught mental education to me with the same importance as physical education, those illnesses may not have taken such a toll. I believe strongly that mental education should share just as much importance as physical, nutritional, or financial. This podcast is a CALL TO ACTION!!! people. The first step is, to speak out and share your truth. It can be difficult dealing with these illness alone and without proper information. The more we speak and the more we share the easier these day to day stresses and traumatic events will be resolved. Not only will we know how to take care for ourselves physically but, mentally as well. Thank you all for the constant support!! You are real ones and I don't know if I could do this without you. If you have any additional information you would like to share with the community and me. I strongly suggest leaving a comment on facebook or instagram.
