want to know why i started this podcast in the first place?! there’s a reason why i care so deeply about mental health, and why i believe so strongly that mental health recovery is possible.

in this solo episode, i’m sharing my mental health journey with you, taking you through my recovery from severe depression and anxiety right from the start. i cover the highs and lows of my story, including how i went from being hospitalized for my mental health four times in one year to graduating as a psychology major and creating a new york times-recommended mental health podcast to help others who are struggling.

my goal in sharing this is to let you know that if you’re struggling, you’re not alone. this episode is your personal reminder that if i can recover, then so can you.

i talk about:

• risk factors that led to me becoming severely depressed

• how i realized i was depressed (key warning signs)

• ways that my depression affected my quality of life

• being hospitalized for my mental health + how that impacted me

• aspects of depression we don’t talk about enough (burnout, validation, + more)

• the biggest turning point in my mental health journey

• a mental health belief that transformed my recovery for the better

• going to a troubled teen industry program + that program’s effects on me

• what inspired me to start this podcast!

• mental health rules that i continue to live by today
