Mental health is something that nobody wants to really talk about yet everyone deals with it in some shape or form. It’s currently one of the biggest crises in our society that easily gets brushed aside. Prioritizing, destigmatizing and making mental health practices simple & relatable is part of CJ Johnson’s mission in life and exactly what he’s doing with his first book, The Maguire Method. We sit down to explore his simple framework that starts with asking better questions, and we talk about how community, travel, heartbreak, and more all play an important role in the journey to mental wealth.
