Post, Pretend, Repeat (Suicide Awareness Series 1 Part 2)

Welcome to the 2 Sided Mirror, a podcast that empowers you to rise, heal and thrive after domestic violence, trauma and mental health challenges. I'm your host DM Baker, and my mission is simple: to turn your pain into power, your struggles into growth and your journey into a testament of resilience. In this episode, we go down the "dirty streets" of social media. "What if everything you've been scrolling through online ins't what it seems? What if some of the pain you see is real and some of it is a performance for clout, likes and followers? Some people turn mental health into a show, sending emails to themselves, texting others to create drama, or going live to manipulate thousands of people into feeling sympathy or outrage. The line between real struggle and performance becomes blurred, and it can leave the rest of us questioning what's true, what's safe and what's real. Welcome to the 2 Sided mirror Podcast where today we will expose the truth behind mental health, trauma and stories some tell, the ones we show to the world, and the ones we hide from ourselves. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!!
