Going through everything that has come his way and not only conquering his hardships but committing his life to helping others who are struggling is such a testament to the strength and passion he carries through life.

  • Cultivating Your Why
    What's the point of going through the pain of recovery if you don't have a why? Having a reason to get better is one of the key motivators to a successful recovery. It has
    helped me so much to cultivate and nurture that why and spend more time in the areas of my life that mean a lot to me apart from my OCD.

  • Getting To Know Yourself After Recovery
    Seeing the light at the end of the recovery tunnel is so fun and special in many different ways. A big part of the recovery adventure is re-learning who you really are outside of your OCD. A lot of times sufferers forget what they're really like apart from the disorder, and leaning into your values and exploring hobbies and interests is one of the most rewarding and exciting experiences!

  • Is the “Mental Health Crisis” Push Helping or Hurting?
    Join me as I rant a bit (sorry) about the turn in society in which many young people think it’s “cool” and “fun” to pretend to struggle with mental or physical health. As more people cry wolf to gain attention, it hurts the recovery of those who are truly struggling. Please feel free to reach out to me with any future episode ideas or questions!
