## Resource

In this episode, I’m talking about the summer that completely changed my life. After years of struggling with my mental health, convincing myself I was fine, and learning how to cope instead of heal, I finally got a level of help I didn’t think I “deserved.” I share what led me to outpatient treatment, what it actually looked like, and how I began to understand the difference between surviving, coping, and truly healing. This episode is honest, vulnerable, and a reminder that you don’t have to wait until things are “bad enough” to ask for help. Plus, we’re getting into a very relatable Chic of the Week, a painfully awkward Not So Chic, and a listener Guest Therapy question about saying yes to everything out of fear of being left out.
