Almost 5 years ago I posted this video...

I was sad. I was lost for words. And I just needed to say something real...

Check on each other. That's it. That's the message.

Mental health is real. The people in your life are real. And sometimes the most important thing you can do today is send a text, make a call, or just show up for someone who might be carrying something heavy right now.

This podcast has always been about resilience, community, and keeping it real... even when it's hard.

You are not alone. 🙏

When this video was recorded, it was a really rough time. I was trying to process the death of a family member who took his own life. If you've ever experienced something similar, just know that you aren't alone. Let's spread more awareness around the importance of mental health, not just in May during Mental Health Awareness month, but at any time of the year.
