Neither Jennifer nor I are mental health professionals. If you feel you need help please seek out a licensed professional in your area. We are creating these episodes to show you what is possible. There was a time when I felt broken. That I didn't fit in anywhere. I'm not going to lie and say everything is rainbows and unicorns, but my good days far outnumber my bad. It's taken a LOT of work, both on my own and with therapists. Everyone's journey is going to be different. The only constant is if you want something to change you need to take action.
