    • Share Your Story (a call to action)

      Thanks to everyone who listened to the podcast this season. I've decided to take a break between seasons so I'm not exactly sure when season three will begin.

      In the meantime, I'm recording this episode to ask you all to invite your friends to listen.  I know the majority of you will hear this and decide not to share. I know this because I've been that person. I'm hoping I'm wrong today. If you would, instead of sharing it as a mass post on your social media accounts, please consider sending a private message or text to someone you think would benefit from the content. Pick 2 or 3 people.

      Also I want to remind you about our group on Facebook. facebook.com/groups/simplementalhealth. It's there for you! Please participate and share what's going on with your mental health journey.

      Finally, if you're ready to be a stigma breaker, consider this your invitation. I want to hear your story and share it on the podcast. I'm thinking season 3 will be dedicated to our stories. So please email me at [email protected] and tell me your story!!

      Thanks for listening. I appreciate it more than you know.
