Not Broken Radio Guest Interview on Episode 69, Accept It
10-16-17: I am very excited to be a part of Not Broken Radio as a guest interviewed on Oct 16-2017 episode 69: "Approach One, Accept It". As part of 3 great guests speaking about their mental health journeys and how they have learned to Accept their situation and how doing so helps you overcome.

It is extremely important and empowering when you can learn to accept your situation, your child, and/or your mental health status. Once you can do that, you stop being in denial and anger about where you are, thus can start being proactive and find joy again. You can start taking steps to improve your situation and love more.
I know it can be difficult, but you CAN do it.
PS - I am the last guest on the show.
