Suzanne's father had a heart attack and while he was in the hospital recovering, her mother wasn't feeling very well and went into the doctor to see what was going on. Her mother was then diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and passed away shortly after. Her father went on to live a few more years before he passed away as well.

Suzanne also went through more trauma while miscarrying her youngest baby and almost losing her life in the process. From everything that she has endured she has also battled deep depression which led her to getting professional help. She has been working very hard throughout the years to help heal herself through all of life's lemons.

Brittany is our guest on this weeks episode and she tells us a little bit about her journey in recognizing the signs & symptoms of anxiety & depression coming into her life.

One of my favorite things that Brittany has said is that she wants to help others to not feel so alone, and I think throughout her episode she does such a great job at telling her story and we know that it'll help validate someone else who is on a similar

journey. She says that the biggest thing she is learning right now is to own her story and love herself in the process; accepting herself while looking for ways to heal. I feel that is so relatable in most of our journey's through life.

Throughout Brittany's episode she gives what sounds like simple tools to help combat negative thoughts and to implement positive talk into our daily lives. As easy as it sounds it can still be so hard to remember. Having someone or something to remind us is so important!

Brittany has done a lot of research herself in finding helpful forms of therapy. She has a list of helpful resources so make sure to look that over.

Thank you Brittany for being brave and sharing your story on our platform.
