In this episode, Parshawn talks with his friend Natalie Muñoz. Natalie speaks on her own personal relationship with mental health and wellness, as she details her journey of being forced to address her own mental wellness in order to arise from difficult situations that occurred within her life at a young age. She speaks on how these events have sparked her passion for providing awareness to the topic of mental health, with a specific emphasis on starting the discussion with individuals from a young age.
We start by discussing the stigma placed on mental health currently within society, and work into how mental health should be viewed from a positive perspective that all individuals can identify with. We then move into the importance of the vocabulary used to address these ideas, and acknowledge how this is a crucial aspect of being able to better yourself. Natalie goes deep into the events that occurred within her past, and shares how working through these events has allowed her to grow tremendously, changing her life for good. We address how tough it can be to deal with the realities that life throws at us, but we acknowledge that there is always a way out in the form of facing your problems and being willing to accept them as an opportunity to begin helping yourself.
The discussion comes full circle as Natalie provides uplifting messages for individuals working through their own troughs in life. She addresses how it is always okay to not be okay, no matter who you are.
