Simple, Not Easy

I (Lindsay) started therapy this week. The first thing someone asks you when they hear you start therapy is usually, "are you okay? what's wrong?"

In this episode, we chat about the importance of mental health AND physical health - and how you don't have to wait until your health (mental or physical) is a dumpster fire before seeking guidance or trying to make improvements. Enjoy!
