On this podcast we discuss just that, as well as ideas on how we can not only improve our mental health during the holidays, but also during the gray and cold winter. Most importantly, this episode serves to make sure you don't forget that you are not alone and that plenty of help is available!

On this week's episode, we continue with our final week of solutions. We end with our spirit wheel, which I think is the most important of all. When depressed, we don't feel connected. We feel alone. We hunger for connection. We are often punishing ourselves and keeping walls up to protect ourselves from getting hurt by others, or getting scorned and rejected by God. Let's take a deeper look at our spirit and just how it can greatly affect our mental health.

On this week's episode, we continue with more solutions. We are moving from our emotions to our mind, which are obviously very closely related. Remember, it's all about balance. Depression and anxiety throws us off balance. It's our bodies' way of telling us something is wrong. A check engine light is blinking and as the holidays and winter approach, it's likely to be relentless. Let's take a deeper look at our mind and just how that affects our mental health.

Depression, like everything, isnât one size fits all. There are ranges. We donât talk enough about full-fledge depression or itâs ugly ending - suicide. We really donât talk enough about how to prevent it. It all starts with a conversation. Are you âpressingâ yourself down and not even realizing you arenât living optimally? You were designed to thrive and be happy, but statistics show that 80% of Americans are anything but.

Our first guest is hear to openly share her story of losing her 29-year-old son to suicide in 2016. This is a parent's worst nightmare, but our guest, Shari Kennedy, has used the pain to bring light and awareness to mental health. She is also proof of just how important it is for a community to come together during a tragic loss.

Grief looks different for everyone. We all have different stories, different traumas and different coping skills. No matter who you lost, what you lost or how you lost it, the pain is real. We need to stop invalidating our pain and comparing our grief to the story of another. We also need to stop invalidating our depression. All of this begins with awareness. Letâs talk about it.

This is me. Itâs not me being perfect. I am, after all, a perfectly imperfect life coach. Nope, this is me not being able to get my fancy microphone up and running without an echo. This is me with my noisy birds chirping in the background sometimes. This is me with someone making some noise in the kitchen. This is me, telling my story and being vulnerable about things we donât like to talk about. I didnât want to start with me, but as I continued to âdisqualifyâ myself from making this podcast real, I knew I had to. It doesnât change my credentials, and if you need credentials, this podcast isnât for you. This podcast is just going to be a bunch of real people, with real stories, talking about real depression, real and raw stories and real loss. I will bring in some real experts, who know a lot more than I do, but not today. Today, itâs just me.
