I recorded this episode the week of 12/14/22 after finding out about Twitch's passing...there were some responses I saw that frustrated me and it gave me pause, so I wanted to explore.  Mental illness is ugly, and can disguise itself very well, no matter who you are, how much money you have, and what your life looks like on the outside.  I shared quite a bit of personal and vulnerable information on this recording as well...know that you are not alone, and if you need help, reach out.

Can we use wellness as a numbing agent, EVEN if we are doing things that are deemed "healthy?"  I'm exploring this in this episode.  Disclaimer:  all the thoughts shared here are my personal opinions and I understand there is room for interpretation, differing of opinion, and nuance.  Enjoy!

Gratitudes for Another Year

I recorded this episode the day before my birthday this year, as I reflect on my last year of life, and how I go into a new one with a grateful mindset.  I hope this resonates with you if YOU have similar feelings at the end of your year and beginning of a new one!
