How often do you think about the importance of mental health and the transformative power of therapy in your life? Last month, I shared some personal milestones—six years as a vegan and five years alcohol-free. This month I’m talking about another milestone – five years of therapy, shining a light on how therapy has been a cornerstone in managing Anxiety and Depression. Listen as I recount the crucial steps of reaching out for professional help, and learn why you don’t need to hit rock bottom or face trauma to seek therapy. I bust some of the top myths surrounding mental health support, encouraging everyone to consider therapy as a valuable resource for navigating life’s complexities.

Join me as I uncover the multifaceted benefits of therapy, from finding the right therapist to the significance of understanding that emotions such as depression and anxiety ebb and flow. You’ll hear how therapy can help build self-confidence, improve relationship skills, and equip you to tackle life’s challenges head-on. This episode also highlights the importance of not feeling guilty about your emotions and the power of having a safe space to explore them.

As I stumbled through the perils of answering the ultimate question, "what do you want to do with your life?" I knew somehow my answer would incorporate helping others. This translated into paths that, when I tuned into the universe, I realized were very connected. (Funny how that always happens!)

People are complicated, messy, and layered with identities. So is this space. I am a meditation enthusiast that sits in quietness every morning and a lover of blasting 90's hip-hop at full volume. I'm a gym rat and a yoga instructor. I am both learner and a teacher. We are all many things. Together we can make them all work.

I love to share all the things I'm learning along the way. Learning how to be your most fabulous self but being honest about how damn hard and messy it can be along the way lets you speak your truth. It allows you to best use your voice for the causes that matter to you. Let's get healthy and change the world together!
