Brittany’s Story

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.

"Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a
relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well, can we be
present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize
our shared humanity."
