Every Wednesday, I release an episode with a guest. Someone who lives with an invisible condition, a caregiver, or a medical professional. We share stories, give insights, and create opportunities to get real, vulnerable, and make connections.
On Fridays, I plan to release a short (10-minute) solo episode where I share some of the many thoughts swirling around in my mind.
This week, I share vulnerably about my struggle with mental health as well as my son's. What if we create workplaces and schools where it is OK to not be OK? Imagine walking into the office and when someone asks you "how are you", you answer with truth. Maybe you are fantastic and maybe you aren't.
In Canada, 75% of all suicides are men. This stat scared me and is driving me to action. So, let's stop hiding, let's start sharing!
Definition:
An invisible condition is an illness or health condition (physical or mental) that isn’t seen from the outside. This may include, but is not limited to autoimmune disorders, mental illness, neurodiverse conditions, chronic pain or fatigue, trauma, cancers, and brain injuries.
