This Season Doesn't Define Me

from Mad Mel’s Mic · host Melissa Smith

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Episode 27! Just recapping on last week's episode and wanted to let ya all know that I was not providing commentey about any relationship that I'm in (they are all amazing) when taking about using our precious time carefully. Just wanted to clear that up!! I love you all xox The song of the week is Landslide by Fleetwood Mac. Although this is a love song, it reminds me that even mental health journeys have chapters and that those chapters don't need to define us permanently. Thinking about life's seasonality reminds me about life's changing seasons and can help us navigate difficult periods and times with hope and perspective. Currently, the season that I'm in is a medication-free season after many years of being medicated. However, I fully aware that i may need another hospital stay at some point again and that i might not always be medication-free. I've also started playing pickleball, and I've also been given the all-clear to play basketball. I'm so pumped to play. I also talk about the Aussie Greys Assistance Dogs program, which repurpose racing greyhounds as PTSD support animals. So good! The thought of the week is "By facing our challenges and overcoming them, we grow stronger, wiser and more compassionate" Find me on Facebook and Instagram, and don't forget to like and follow. Have a great week, and don't forget to be kind to yourself. Song Of the Week: Landslide - Fleetwood Mac https://youtu.be/WM7-PYtXtJM?si=t4UG40UnqNABTg-X
