December 06, 2019 Fall 2019: Session 91 (Truth and Transparency with Dempris Gasque)
Being transparent can be hard at times, but it’s in these moments of transparency and truth that we learn to get stronger and work through the difficult things we are going through. And also learn that we are not alone. Today we talk to Dempris about mental health, and how important it is to talk about it. Too often we keep these things to ourselves, but if we are a little more transparent about what we are going through, it can allow us to get the help we need.
