    EP 16: Mind Your Mental with Dr. Mia Pappagallo, MD

    Welcome everyone. I’m Sammee Leigh and this is Chasing Sammee, a podcast all about candid conversations with everyday people because we all have a story to tell and sometimes hearing someone else’s story is how we make sense of our own…   The coronavirus is a global pandemic. At the time of this recording,  the best means to beat this virus is to self-quarantine. Many of us are working from home, or using that time to read, watch a ton of shows, focus on hobbies and self-care as the world around us struggles from this outbreak.  Staying inside and staying healthy are the very best we can do right now but mentally this could be a struggle for some.  In this episode, my dear friend, Dr. Mia Pappagallo, MD, a New York board certified psychiatry specialist with over 20 years experience joins me to discuss how we can mentally prepare ourselves during this time of self-quarantining and social-distancing. All links mentioned are available in the show notes. Okay, Let’s Get into it!  ***NOTES***: Digital Recovery Support: Online and Mobile Resources: https://www.recoveryanswers.org/media/digital-recovery-support-online-and-mobile-resources/

    EP 15: You Are Not Alone with Aaron Gold

    FAM! It’s ya girl, Sammee Leigh here and welcome to Chasing Sammee, a podcast all about candid conversations with everyday people because we all have a story to tell and sometimes hearing someone else’s story is how we make sense of our own... In this episode, I chop it up with actor, comedian, and all around nice guy, Aaron Gold. Aaron is kinda what you get if Seth Rogan and Chris Pratt gave birth to a golden retriever - his words not mine. We unpack the uniqueness that is You Are Not Alone, an uplifting Improv comedy show about depression that Aaron produces and hosts, we swap our own depression tales, sing the praises of the Magnet Theatre, and we both agree that Creed had some bops, plus so much more.  All links mentioned are available in the show notes. Okay, Let’s Get into it! ***NOTES**** Aaron Gold -  Instagram: @heyitsaarongold / www.aaron-gold.com >>> You Are Not Alone -  Instagram: @youarenotalonecomedy / yanacomedy.com >>> Don’t Mind If I Don’t -  Instagram: @dontmindpodcast >>> Magnet Theater -  Instagram: @magnettheater / www.magnettheater.com
