Today’s episode is different than anything I’ve ever shared on the podcast.

This past week has been tumultuous for all of us. We’re experiencing a pandemic. Something we’ve never had to navigate in our lifetime and it’s impacted ALL of us. Deeply.

So today, I brought on my dear friend and go-to source on all things mental health, psychotherapist Rachel Wright, to have a transparent and support-filled conversation In hopes that for even just one of you, you can feel less alone. Heard. Or maybe, just maybe, share a perspective with you that isn’t yours. That causes you to think outside of what you know and experience. And grow.

This is not a training, although we do share tools to help support you amidst all of this discomfort, fear, anxiety, loss, grief and beyond.

This is an invitation to a conversation around what you’re feeling amidst all of this. I hope you’ll join in.
