But just so we're super clear: I’m not a licensed therapist, mental health professional, or anything close. I’m just a human sharing stories, lessons, and life hacks based on personal experience and a whole lot of curiosity.So, while you might find some golden nuggets here, this is not therapy and should never replace professional mental health care. If you or someone you love is going through it, please—seriously—reach out to a licensed therapist or healthcare provider. You deserve the real deal.Need Help Now?Here are a few amazing resources:·         988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (U.S.): Call or text 988·         NAMI HelpLine: 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) or nami.org/help·         Therapy Directory: psychologytoday.com·         Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741 The opinions expressed on this show are ours and ours alone—no official organizations are responsible for what we say (or how much we overshare).This show is proudly produced at PS Studios — learn more https://www.psstudios.co
