In this episode, Alex and Alexa go through their mental health journeys. This is a special episode for us and episodes like these are exactly why we started the podcast. Alex tells us about losing his brother and being diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Alexa tells us about moving away from her friends and family, feeling isolated, and seeking out help. Later, they share some tips and strategies they use to deal with issues like anxiety and grief. It's time to break the mental health stigma, y'all. Let's talk about it. As always, we're happy to have you all. Love yourself today - you deserve it.

Also *note*: Your TLB hosts are practicing social distancing! We used a pre-recorded intro because we want to say safe and #flattenthecurve. In the intro, Alexa talks about what she's binge watching and Alex talks about going four days without showering at Bonarroo.
