Today we revisit a recording never published from a year ago, exploring the challenges of sharing with mental health struggles.

Episode Highlights:

• I look at the difficulty of deciding how much to share about personal struggles, especially regarding mental health issues.

• I share my coping strategies that I tried (that were hard to actually do when struggling):

- Using meditation

- Setting a 25-minute timer to complete tasks

- Journaling to process thoughts and feelings

- Prioritizing exercise and socialization

• I discuss balancing vulnerability with the concern of worrying loved ones.

• The importance of Resilience to deal with recurring episodes of struggle

• The value of learning and practicing coping skills during better times to build resilience for future challenges.

• The importance of seeking help and talking about your experiences.
