Episode Description

This is a personal, quick, but super important episode. And I'm hoping that this shows others that they no longer need to wear a mask too.

Depression simply has no face. No matter how we perceive someone through how they act or what they say, we never truly know what they’re going through.

To all of us, my dad was happy. My dad was outgoing, successful, loved and was excited for his future. But his mind told a different story.

Whenever you meet someone, remove all preconceived judgements of who they are and their levels of happiness.

Whenever you see someone on social media, look through the highlight reel and fake smiles.

Whenever you think someone is ok, ask twice.

Because you never know how someone is truly feeling.
