Timmy had something manifest quickly and I had something that just happened that was a slow burn over many years. From these experiences, we’ve learned a lot and are eager to share.

Hi creative cuties- this one really inspired me- Dr. Dom got rejected from over 100 medical schools and had to apply three years in a row before finally getting into ONE and graduating with honors. That's just a small part of what makes this episode great- there's also tons of mental health and self-development tips! Before we get to the best of show, I share some BRAND NEW CONTENT at the top of this episode about what I've been up to in the past week and the creative rejuvenation tool that I have been using for the past week that has helped me finally break free from some of the fog/depression I was in. Maybe it can help you, too! Talk soon :) 

OH! Also, I have a show in LA coming up on Wed, 06/01 at 8pm at Urban Press Winery in Burbank, CA. Link to get tickets here: https://shows.fanflex.com/artists/xcJ1j3C4ia2T3jlEdsze/campaigns/gcqCWfXwox1YuBjacivk

Hi my dear creative cutie! Today's best of episode is another amazing one. Honestly, one of my favorite conversations EVER! I think it has some of the most tangible takeaway of any show or any topic I've ever done on the pod. If you struggle with your mental health - especially anxiety, overthinking and depression, this episode and the tools Meredith offers, will be so very helpful to you. I also loved listening to it because it is a snapshot of the show at a very specific time. It was July 2020- the height of the pandemic and I think I was so far from being burnt out at the time-- I hear all this energy and polish in my voice. It makes me excited for the me I might meet again after this rest and revaluation. I hope you're doing well in this time. Enjoy this episode- even if you've already heard it, it's worth the re-listen...There was so much that I even forgot! Original title and description below. OH! Also, I have a show in LA coming up on Wed, 06/01 at 8pm at Urban Press Winery in Burbank, CA.

Original Show Description:

Meredith Arthur is a mental health pioneer, author, Emmy-Nominated creative producer, and a content leader at Pinterest. She’s best known for being a founding member of the food site: Chowhound, creating the mental health wellness site/community, Beautiful Voyager, writing for Medium and for her debut book, Get Out of My Head: Inspiration for Overthinkers in an Anxious World.

I wanted to have Meredith on the show because she has so many actionable tools to help you get out of your own way. So many creatives are overthinkers...Including myself...If we get stuck in our heads, it really can keep us from meaningful opportunities to express ourselves, so I am excited to share her insight to help you stop the anxiety feedback loop!

On this "Best of Episode" I re-air the episode where I detail every step of my mental health journey and how you can do the same for yours. BUT before I get to that, some exciting announcements about an award the show won, as well as an update on what has been happening since I took my break, plus insight on why I chose to re-share this episode with you. Original show description below! 

But first, here's the link to get tickets to my show tonight (05/04) it's at 8pm at Urban Press Winery in Burbank. Tickets here: https://shows.fanflex.com/artists/xcJ1j3C4ia2T3jlEdsze/campaigns/rvHyntab12ywCp7BZiFm 

On this episode of the pod, you guessed it: I, your host (Lauren LoGrasso) will be sharing my full mental health journey- from my family history, to childhood, to  how I got to where I am today--in a good place with and most importantly: aware that my mental health is something that needs to be tended to. My hope is that in hearing my story you’ll: 1) Be able to trace the lines of your own mental health journey and gain some new insight about yourself 2) You’ll go onto share your story with someone else so that we can all become part of the destigmatization of mental health and 3) To really share all of who I am - what I am finding is that we cannot fully appreciate the good and the light without acknowledging and owning the dark, too - you must feel it to heal it. 

Please note: we (My associate producer Emily (who acts as a guide for this episode) and I) talk about some sensitive topics including anxiety and depression, body image and eating disorders and also physical abuse/violence. If any of those topics are tough for you, please keep that in mind before listening. Love you and thank you for holding space for me today as I talk through this vulnerable subject!
