088: When You're Struggling With Depression & Mental Health - Solo Episode

Jan 18, 2021

I’m no stranger to mental health, having struggled with anxiety for over 10 years. But when a dark, impending doom-like cloud came over me and I was met with depression and everything that comes with it this past November 2020, I suddenly became scared for my life.

In this solo episode, I’ll be sharing:

• My mental health story
• How I have been healing and supporting myself
• What my mental illness has taught me
• Recommendations for supporting your own mental health
• Recommendations for those supporting people living with mental illness
