I, too, have struggled with mental health and know how challenging depression and anxiety can be.    

While I can’t provide psychotherapy treatment through this podcast, I can inform, entertain, and provide insights for anyone who wants to tend to their mind, improve their relationships, or support loved ones who might struggle with anxiety, depression, or other things they don’t (often) want to talk about.    

Mental health is the foundation of our overall health, and it deserves our attention as we wade through the emotions we feel and the reactions we have to the way the world works around us. My only aim in creating this show is to help you become the happiest, healthiest, and safest version of yourself. 

In this episode, you’ll also hear: 

• Evidence that your dreams can come true and guidance for what to do afterward 
• Why depression deserves more attention and recognition as a deadly disease 
• A candid, realistic look into improving your mental health over time 

Must-listen moments:  

[00:01:29] If one dream could come true, others could also. And if that were true, then it must also be true that hope and optimism are virtues worth pursuing, a truth that would become enormously helpful to me later in life. 

[00:02:03] One of the gnarliest aspects of struggling with mental health is that our brain lies to us by saying how we feel today is how we will feel forever.  

[00:02:43] We can treat mental illness and, in many cases, treat it very, very well. Not only that, we can improve the mental health of just about anyone on the planet if they're willing to devote the time and energy to doing so. 

 
Thank you for listening!
