In this episode, my daughter and I sit down to discuss the external pressures that lead to the epidemic of mental illness. She share's how far she's come in her journey and how it shaped her life today. Her words of wisdom offer today's young adults hope and trust that all challenging experiences shape who you are, and rather than resist them accept them.  In her wilderness experience, she learned to sit with herself, and through this, she began to value and love herself without needing the validation and company of others.
