Episode 6 ! Thank-you all for the love and support that you have been giving me with the podcast and my mission to increase awareness & remove the negative stigma associated with mental health. This mission is particularly important in the month of May because it is mental health awareness month which is a great opportunity to spread the word and put the focus on helping & supporting our community. Today's episode is a special guest episode where i chat with a very good friend of mine about her mental health journey. Jordan is a social worker who not only works in mental health but who also dealt with mental health struggles for quite awhile. She opens up about her issues with substance abuse, how it impacted her, as well as how her support network helped her get through that extremely tough time. We also discuss the pandemic and how it relates to the work she does, the situations that she has to deal with regularly, and the importance of community during this time of isolation. Jordan shares some tips on how to start getting your mental health better when you are struggling, the idea of productivity, and how doing your best is always enough. She mentions the importance of having mental health conversations and how they can be so helpful not only when you are feeling down but also just in general. I hope that you enjoy the episode as much as i enjoyed having the discussion with Jordan, please continue to support the podcast by listening and sharing. For those of you who are interested in supporting me in my fundraiser for CMHA, a link to the page where you can donate will be on my linktree account which you can find on my instagram. Thank-you once again, and as always take care of yourselves !
