Mental health battles know no boundaries and the people you least expect may be struggling.

Join us as I share my story.

let’s talk about it

This one was really hard.

Mark asked me more than once if I was sure I was comfortable.

I wasn’t sure.

The first time I shared my story openly was about three years ago on my blog, “Just Shake It Off”. I wrote about it in two parts. “let’s talk about it” shares my journey with depression and my eventual suicide attempt. “aftermath” is a small glimpse into what life looked like, for me, after surviving my attempt.

Writing about it was hard. But, I could take my time, change my verbiage, edit and re-edit as many times as I needed to feel more comfortable with sharing my words. There was no one to see my tears fall or hear my voice tremble.

The podcast, though…this was going to be a different ballgame. I knew it was going to be both hard and uncomfortable.

But, here’s the thing…in the hard and in the uncomfortable…that’s where the really meaningful stuff lives.

My hope in sharing my story on “Making It Meaningful – The Podcast” is that it will reach exactly whom it needs to reach…exactly when they need it to reach them.
