*1 year after releasing this episode we had a Part 2 with Jeff that you can catch on Episode 69!*
We catch up with our friend Jeff Grace (swim coach, yoga teacher, creator of swimming-specific yoga practices and mental health advocate) in part 1 of our ongoing discussion around mental health. Oh… and little did we know, Jeff just happens to be Jew-ISH too. lol!
**Trigger warning** This episode includes some discussion on suicide. The discussion comes from real life experience, and might be sensitive to some listeners. We kept it in the episode in order to raise awareness to this subject, and to show that people CAN rise above and positively manage their mental health challenges. We hope this episode opens up the dialog more when it comes to the stigmas that still exist surrounding mental health.
If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide, please call the Canadian Suicide Prevention Service at 1-833-456-4566. We also have a website resource below for those who are needing help navigate their mental health challenges. With love and light, Rachel & Hiiro.
