Happy Mental Health Awareness Month! On this week's episode of the Keeping Myself Alive Podcast, I am replying to/giving my thoughts on a very important video I saw on YouTube titled, "Trauma is Trauma: A Mental Health Talk with Kevin Smith | PEOPLE." I learned a lot from this video and Kevin inspired me to keep talking about mental health and mental illness to help further normalize these conversations and lessen the stigma surrounding these topics.
Keeping Myself Alive is a podcast where the host, Cassie, talks about her personal experiences with mental health and how her passions - art, gaming, journaling, and music - give her a reason to keep going. Cassie has candid conversations with her guests about how their hobbies and passions help them navigate this crazy existence we all call life.
A photographer and writer by trade, Cassie is a self-taught artist who is still learning to embrace that title. She is the owner of CassieMakesArt, a small, handmade business where she creates stickers, stationery, and prints. Her work is heavily inspired by emo, punk, goth, and alternative subcultures. Visit CassieMakesArt.com for more information.
