E.35 - Tackling Mental Health in 6 Minutes

Hello Ladies and Gentleman,

It's so easy to believe that the emotional turmoil we're dealing with is ours alone. Millions of people suffer in silence every single day.

If there is one goal of this episode, it's to make you understand you're not alone in your suffering. 

We tend to believe if we have a problem, it's ours and ours alone. It's not for anyone else to hear or listen to because it's our baggage. It's this kind of mindset that can be catastrophic and lead us into greater despair. I've been there.

In this episode, I condense Kelly Davis long format podcast into 5 minutes. In the long episode, Kelly shared her experiences of growing up with mental illness from the age of grade school, emotions she called "too big to handle for her body." 

In the long episode, Kelly shared her experiences of growing up with mental illness from the age of grade school, emotions she called "too big to handle for her body." When Kelly was diagnosed as bipolar, she believed that a "normal" life was out of the question. 

Today she works for the Mental Health of America in Washington and is an advocate for mental health. Her aim is to bring policy change on Capitol Hill to improve the services offered to those battling mental health issues. 

To hear Kelly's full interview of how she was able to overcome mental illness to live a powerful life today, you can check out the episode here.
