67. Bravely Talking About Your Mental Health Challenges with Mike Johnson The Brave Table with Dr. Neeta Bhushan

Are you being vulnerable with people you trust about how you *really* feel? One of the biggest reasons I started The Brave Table was to spread awareness about mental and emotional health. When we open ourselves up to those brave, uncomfy convos with others, we begin to heal and help remove the stigma associated with mental health challenges. 
That’s why it’s so important to create meaningful connections with people and to find your tribe. And no one knows this better than my guest today, the king of vulnerability and cultivating honest and open communication, Mike Johnson. 
You probably recognize him from Season 15 of The Bachelorette and Season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise — talk about cracking yourself open, going on national television to find love! Mike is a Veteran, renowned Intimacy Coach, co-host of the Talking It Out with Bachelor Nation podcast, and author of the best-selling book, Making The Love You Want. 
Here’s a sneak peek of what we get into in this episode…
- Tools for coping with mental health challenges
- Mike’s approach to coaching couples and singles who struggle with intimacy
- How to find your community and people with whom you can deeply connect
- An easy way to check in with your friends and support each other
