The LYLAS Podcast Sarah and Jen

The silent battles with mental health are often cloaked in the shadows of stigma and can lead to the most tragic event of all: suicide. Our latest episode takes a heartfelt look at this issue through a moving memorial service for a woman who lost her fight. This is a difficult topic. But if we want to change the stigma surrounding one of the leading causes of death in the United States, we have to start to become comfortable with discussing the uncomfortable. We need to move towards greater empathy and understanding.   Our show is a call to action for more open conversations surrounding mental health, urging a collective approach to foster a more empathetic society in which no one suffers in silence. Help is available. Text or call 988.  There is hope. There are people who care. There are other options.

What’s that law “Energy is neither created nor destroyed." The energy we bring to a room affects ourselves, the people/animals around us, and often times the outcome of a situation. This week we talk energy, as in, what energy are you bringing to those around you? We chat how to notice our energy, what practices influence our energy, and how we often match the energy of those around us. Our energy is the essence of who we are and how we show up in the world. Energy is contagious– good or bad, so let’s be aware of our energy, the energy of others and how we can use our energy to achieve our greatest desires!
