When darkness is surrounding you, hold on and let the hope shine in. I (Jennifer McFadden) have dealt with mental health for my whole life. Dealing with crippling anxiety, deepness of depression, and low self confidence. It was when I was an adult and started meeting others who were open about their mental health journeys and struggles, that I finally understood what I was going through. I finally reached out for help and it saved my life. It is my mission to advocate for mental health and help end the stigma. This is a safe space to chat about journeys through mental health and motherhood.

    Working Through the Feelings of Healing

    I'm back! It feels so good to be back with you and bringing you another episode. Sometimes in life you have to push things to the back burner. I give a great example of how I like to think about priorities because we can't do it all - and that's okay!! In this episode I chat about the feelings i've had going through healing and my mental health journey. I let you into my brain with me trying to pinpoint why feelings of happy, letting go of my wounds, and success makes me feel weird. I don't know my personality without my mental health struggles. That's not my personality though so time to build some new neuropathways and switch the mindshift. I would love to hear if you relate to anything in this episode or just to chat with you on my Instagram - @jenn264

    Tips for Supporting a Loved one Going Through Mental Health With my Hubby Thomas

He answers some questions and gives some advice to ones supporting a loved one through mental health. I give a few tips on how to provide support, especially when you can feel so helpless in those situations. Give compassion, listen, and just provide support but also take care of yourself and hold boundaries. I would love to hear more tips or what you would love for support, on my instagram @jenn264.

    Monday Vulnerable Thoughts - Accept your own compassion

    Random vulnerable thoughts on this Monday afternoon. The beauty of being able to decide how and when you show up. Motherhood and life is HARD and you aren't alone. I have been incredibly overwhelmed and hard on myself these past couple weeks. I want you to know that whatever season you are in, your feelings are valid. My challenge to you is to accept compassion and empathy for yourself. Give yourself the same grace and advice you would give to someone else. You deserve that! Thank you for being here! Also feel free to reach out to chat on Instagram @jenn264
