Life can be hard at times and if you’re like me, you may tend to think that you can handle it all on your own. Maybe you’ve done such a good job of “managing for so long” having to do something different or talk to someone can feel uncomfortable. The idea of therapy, to me, felt like I had to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I’d be showing the world that I was broken or didn't have it all together… but when my health started to suffer, and I was anxious 24/7… I realized my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I learned that there is no “good health” without mental health. Therapy was the answer for me, it helped me put down all of the heavy things that I was carrying that didn’t belong to me. While therapy can provide so much relief, finding a therapist can feel so daunting. BetterHelp, the sponsor of today’s video, has done so much to make finding a therapist and starting therapy so much easier!

Helen Knott is a Dane Zaa, Nehiyaw, Métis, and mixed Euro-descent woman from Prophet River First Nations, and lives in Fort St. John, British Columbia. Helen is a trauma survivor, an author, a poet, and has worked in social work and advocacy for over a decade. In 2016 Helen was one of sixteen global change makers featured by the Nobel Women's Initiative for being committed to ending gender-based violence and was selected as a 2019 RBC Taylor Prize Emerging Author. Her debut memoir, In My Own Moccasins, was a national bestseller, longlisted for the BC Taylor Prize, and won the Saskatchewan Book Award for Indigenous Peoples' Publishing. In My Own Moccasins is a deeply personal and vulnerable account of addiction, intergenerational trauma, and the wounds brought on by sexual violence. Becoming a Matriarch, her second memoir, is a #1 Best Seller on the Toronto Star's Canadian Non-Fiction list and #2 overall non-fiction list. Helen has learned to find happiness in simplicity because as she says, "When you’re stripped down to your most naked humble self - you learn to see the world new again. At first, it’s not always shiny - quite the opposite in fact - but eventually you learn to see the sparkle in the small things. And in no time, you become that sparkle and create magic wherever you go."
