Eye opening

I am fortunate to have never really experienced any sort of mental health issue, however, we all know someone in our life who is dealing with it. This show has helped me understand a bit more about what it is like to walk in their shoes.

THIS IS AN EPISODE YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS!!!

I can hardly put into words how I felt as I was listening to Jonny speak about his story on the Whiteflag Warriors Podcast. As someone who used to struggle so badly with anxiety, depression, not wanting to live, stomach issues, sleep issues, someone who felt so alone, so misunderstood, unheard and not validated for so many years, listening to this truly brought such a connection to Jonny.

If you are someone that has been struggling and need to know you are not alone, this episode is worth listening to! Jonny, thank you again for being so open and real we need more people like you in our world!
