Let's Get Mental

There are many wonderful things about this podcast by Ligaya Sevilla. She is honest and vulnerable about how frightening it is to have anxiety and upfront about how necessary it is to be talked about. She faces and illustrates the truth of how awful panic and anxiety are to experience without trying to hide just how scary and painful it is. What I love most about this podcast is how vulnerable Ligaya allows herself to be and be seen by her audience. She doesn’t candy coat the experience of anxiety, instead she pushes the truth of how difficult it is to handle completely alone and that there is no one who can save you but yourself and getting stronger and more experienced with it. A breath of fresh air to approaching mental illness because she highlights just how painful it is, and that takes such courage to be open about. For this reason this podcast is a triumph in the mental health world because it validates the pain and makes it understood. Listeners please continue to support her! She is a voice/force that is much needed. Thank you so much! Sincerely Danielle Brahinsky

Mental health during and after pregnancy is just not talked about enough and we need more people to talk openly about how hard things can really get. Ligaya speaks openly about many of the challenges that face moms including her own experience, and is such a beacon of hope for moms out there who might be struggling. This is a must listen for moms to feel less alone and know more about options out there to get more support!

I was just introduced to the podcast by Michelle who is featured in the Ep 18. I worked with both Michelle and Ligaya and had no idea…. And thank you so much for sharing as I can relate. The fact that people are able to share their experiences, challenges and inner voice dialog via Podcast is one of the things that I love about technology. For me growing up with the British culture as a gen X we didn’t talk about it, and seeking help feels like it’s somehow wrong. Listening to others share there story has helped me in so many ways. I am so glad things are changing :) We see successful people as Driven. I am willing to bet that what drives many of them comes from this space and I can only hope people keep talking about it.

Ligaya is so open and honest about her journey. It’s not easy to be vulnerable on a public platform but I know it is so valuable to those hearing her story. We need more of this! Thank you for your podcast Ligaya!
