The full crew is back for our Season 1 finale episode before we take a break for the summer. Join Wes, Kels, and Autumn as they answer questions you have submitted, including what therapy tools we've found most helpful, the difference between feeling overwhelmed and anxious and having anxiety, if there's a wrong way to start therapy, and ways to truly live in the moment. The team also reflects on some of the things they most enjoyed about Season 1. Also, make sure to listen to the end to hear a sneak preview on some things coming up in Season 2, as well as some more details on merch.

Thank you for joining us this season! We look forward to more #mentalhealthmondays in the future and are grateful for all of our listeners. We can't wait to keep building our Embrace Mental Health community and joining together to continue having conversations surrounding all things mental health.

Sometimes, you just gotta talk in all caps. Especially when you're talking about something as important and universally relevant as mental health. In this episode, Kelsey and Autumn take the gloves off and get real about why avoiding dealing with your issues isn't a sign of toughness or honor, and what it is costing not only you, but also the people around you. Healing is hard work. But it may be one of the absolute most important pursuits of your life. Life hurts and it isn't fair. We all have wounds and scars that affect us. But the best way to heal from it, is to DEAL WITH IT.

In this episode, Kelsey and Autumn take on some more mental health myths and assumptions. Are mentally ill people more violent? Can you always tell just by looking if someone is experiencing depression? Do psychotropic meds lead to drug addiction? Does time truly heal all wounds? We also address recent comments by a prominent pastor claiming PTSD, OCD, ADHD, etc are not real. We cover a lot of territory and it gets a little spicy! But sometimes it takes a little spice to break down dangerous and hurtful stigmas. And what better time than during Mental Health Awareness Month?
