The Joy Life

Are you a control freak?

Straight forward question, I know. But I've been one my entire life, and it's been a major cause of my anxiety. Does your desire to control every aspect of your life give you major anxiety?

It's time you stop doing that.

In this episode, I'll be talking about WHY you need to let that desire go and how you can move forward with your life without feeling the need to be in control of everything.

Anxiety doesn't need to follow you everywhere you go. It might be creeping up in you in a subtle way if you're a control freak. But it doesn't have to! 

Find out how to change that here!

I think oftentimes, we see people that view their medication as the tool that will magically solve their mental illness. That's not the case, though! Medication should be something that helps us, but isn't the perfect solution. Listen in to hear me discuss my story with medication and why that's my viewpoint.

Empathy is a weird thing. It's very powerful and a fantastic emotional skill to have, but if you don't really know how to manage it it can cause some major anxiety and stress. This episode explains that connection and how to deal with the anxiety that might crop up from being empathetic.

Suicide, as we all know, is a heavy topic, but that in no way should mean that we don't talk about it. It's more important now than ever to talk about it and open up the conversation! Suicide has such a huge impact on the entire world, and we need more people talking about it. I wanted to share with you what my experience is with suicide. I know that it's had a major impact on how I view mental health now (years later!) and I want to make sure I share that with you. 

For me, it's really important that I share my personal story with mental illness before I try to tell anyone else how to manage it. This episode gives you the full run down of what I went through when I was depressed. I also give you some tips on how you can ask for help if you're dealing with depression!
