A special edition episode, part one of a two part episode series.

Talking. Sounds simple, but for some it can be the hardest thing to do when it comes to your mental wellness.

Camilla and Ted discuss the importance of communicating, telling your story, your struggles, your experiences, and your discoveries can give someone the support needed to take another step towards clarity and hope.

Equally as important to talking is listening with empathy, and holding space for someone, even though you may not have the answers, just being in that moment with them may be all they need.

Disclaimer: If you, or someone you know is suffering mentally, talk, but also reach out to a doctor, or other professional for help.
