## Resource

Today I’m sharing one of the hardest parts of my story—crippling anxiety, years on SSRIs and benzodiazepines, and the painful reality of trying to come off of them. We need to start having honest conversations about trauma, mental health, overprescribed medications, and the hope of real healing. If you or someone you love is struggling, this episode is for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9bzpDogoeo Shop MyFreedomCart for trusted, American-made products that support your values. http://myfreedomcart.com/heidi Show mentions: http://heidistjohn.com/mentions Website | http://heidistjohn.com Support the show! | http://donorbox.org/donation-827 Rumble | rumble.com/user/HeidiStJohn Youtube | / @‌heidistjohnpodcast Instagram | @‌heidistjohn Facebook | Heidi St. John X | @‌heidistjohn Faith That Speaks Online Community Submit your questions for Fan Mail Friday | http://heidistjohn.com/fanmailfriday
