Hey friends!
In todays episode I open myself up more than I ever have before. This is the most vulnerable I have ever been. I've been very open about the fact that self harm has been a part of my journey but to sit down and record not only the episode but the accompanying diary entry was a lot. I truly hope that by opening up like this and creating an honest conversation around mental health and self harm i will give another person the courage or 'permission' to do so too. We are stronger together.
This weeks episode is a lot so please consider if listening to it is good for you at this point in time.
