Mental Health.
They say not enough men talk about it. Or people are scared to talk about it. There are a lot of people who assume that a such a positive person couldn't possibly be brought to tears when they think about someone they lost in a battle to mental health, as though battles are never faced by positive supportive people.
It's hard to define, people have different experiences and it feels uncomfortable or in some instances it's frowned upon to talk about the negative things in life.
Unless we talk about it, really dig deep into what it feels like, we can't experience growth. When we can't acknowledge or really own it when we are at a low in our mental health or when we can't tell the story of how someone else's mental health altered our lives, we can't really experience the support we may need.
This episode is incredibly meaningful to me, and is amplified by the addition of my guests who both have stories of their own.
Listen in as I open up on the topic of mental health across the table from Blake Loates and Michelle Bagnell.
If this episode resonates you, pass it on, or share it. If you have a story of your own you'd rather share instead, I challenge you to share it with someone. We need to be okay with not being okay, because mental health is just as much a priority as physical and unless we acknowledge that it is there, that it's a thing, and that it plays a role in everyone's life, how will we ever fight life's battles?
