In this episode I share my own story of recovery from dealing with anxiety from a young age, going through a mental health crisis after college, and eventually being able to bounce back and create a new life for myself as a mental health advocate.

I also introduce the actual Five Building Blocks of Recovery, which are:
1. Building Block 1 (Basic Stability)
2. Building Block 2 (Having a Self-Care Plan)
3. Building Block 3 (Trusting the Process of Recovery)
4. Building Block 4 (Finding Your Community)
5. Building Block 5 (Expanded Self-Awareness and Following Your Intuition)
*trigger warning I do talk about suicidal ideation in this episode
*this episode was published when the podcast was titled "Five Pillars of Recovery" and before the name change to "Five Building Blocks of Recovery"
