On the importance of going mental

Remember when you were a kid and wanted nothing more than to be a grownup? Remember when you became a grownup sometime in your 20s and your world just flipped on its head? Throw in all the sociopolitical tragedies we're constantly filtering through hectic news headlines and you've got a life wrought with conflicting feelings and thought patterns. Kim and I take a stab and identifying just what exactly it is that causes all the 20-somethings to feel miserable, and figuring out how to cope with massively depressing events like domestic terrorism and the anti-immigrant campaigns. Stay light, friends.

Adulting, Pt. 1 - Weight of the World

On this episode 3 of going mntl, I share my personal journey with depression and mental illness. Mental health can only be prioritized when we come face-to-face with the darkest version of ourself.
