In this episode I talk to my new friend and fellow podcast host, Rachel Brumberger. Rachel is a clinical acupuncturist, mom, wife and host of the UnScRxipted podcast. We also discuss how we can (and should) take the lead and become the agents of our own healthcare and self-care. We talk about ditching the "suck it up" mentality when it comes to our care, following our gut and taking agency over our health and well-being. From the moment we connected, Rachel and I just clicked and it felt like we'd known each other for years. Our friendship is evidence that you can make new & cherished friends at any age or stage in life!

When our child became suicidal, I was overwhelmed, afraid and in denial. I had no idea of what to expect. When trying to get help and find support from the mental health system, I faced information overload. In this episode, I share more details about what we went through the day we became aware of how real the risk of suicide was for our daughter. I will also share some information I learned about the mental health system that I wished I'd known when we first started looking for help.
