13\\ Trigger Warning: When life knocks you down, overcoming the pit of depression and anxiety, and how to move forward when you aren’t okay.

Trigger Warning: The word 'grooming' and 'sexual abuse' is mentioned and briefly discussed in this episode. 

This may be the most challenging episode I have ever recorded. I share some of my personal struggles over the last few years and how I was able to move forward when I was struggling with extreme anxiety and depression. 

In this episode you will learn: 

How to know if you are in survival mode or struggling with depression 

What to do first when you recognize you are battling with a mental health issue and are not okay

Tips to battle the feelings of overwhelm, problems seeming too big, too scary, or too hard

And, most importantly, encouragement to know you aren't alone in the fight. 

The book I mentioned in the episode helped me start moving forward when I was ready to choose healing from extremely hard circumstances, you can find it here: Becoming Brave: How to Think Big, Dream Wildly, and Live Fear Free by Tracey Mitchell

Disclaimer: Please consult with your doctor to discuss your own personalized treatment for managing your mental health. I am not a doctor and am only sharing my experience so you know you aren't alone in the fight.
