Ways to Better Cope with Your Mental Health Struggles || with Kimberley Quinlan

Based on my own experience, things that can be painful can also be very powerful.

Do you want to know the most pivotal piece of advice a therapist ever shared with me? It was as I was finally seeking treatment after struggling for years with my eating disorder that I was told this: you will deal with this forever. And I was actually relieved! I explain more in the episode, along with our mental-health-therapist guest, on the ways to better cope with your mental health struggles.

Kimberley Quinlan is a mother, business owner, therapist, and podcaster. Also she, somewhat uniquely, self discloses the mental health struggles she has learned to live with. With a specialty in obsessive compulsive disorder and other anxiety disorders, Kimberley has a strong and soothing approach. Her motto is "It's a beautiful day to do hard things."

There are 3 main things we want listeners to learn from this episode, but in addition to those concrete steps you will feel empowered and able. As we focus this month on being healthy, not getting healthy, you'll understand the strength and resilience you possess because of mental health struggles. Tune in for new and encouraging ways to help yourself, or to better support someone you love.
