In this episode, Fi opens up about her experience with therapy–discussing her decision to start, how she navigated the initially-uncomfortable conversations about getting help, and why she continues to see therapy as a beneficial tool for personal and inter-personal growth. Listen in for a soapbox in honor of Dr. Brené Brown (naturally) and Fi sharing one of the moments when she found herself face down in life's arena (spoiler alert: she's a pre-med dropout.) It has been one week too long–thank you all for tuning in! Xx
The Man in the Arena (it *is* a Teddy Roosevelt quote)
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
