Hello Friends,
This week I’m sharing another mini episode that is part of “The Chat” series where I ask a number of direct, straight to the heart questions that are designed to provoke depth and honesty right off the bat.
It was a true pleasure to have writer and intuitive coach, Donna Lancaster on the other end of the microphone answering these questions. Donna is the brilliant mind behind the books 'The Bridge: A 9-Step Crossing into Authentic and Wholehearted Living and Wise Words for Women: Words to Soothe, Comfort, Challenge, and Inspire. And as luck should have it, the book is out in paperback this week.
This conversation shows the integrity and authenticity of Donna and her work. I greatly appreciate Donna’s clarity and deep insights about her childhood, her fears, and the values she holds.
Let me know what you think in the comments below.
Keep having meaningful conversations….
Love,
Amanda X

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Being able to recognize that you have a mental disorder is the first step. The second step is to talk to someone, whether a friend, family member or therapist.
Some individuals exploit their mental health struggles on social media, portraying them in a manner that undermines the authenticity of the issue they claim to address, ultimately doing a disservice to those genuinely affected by mental health challenges.
Being part of a community where others share your struggles can be therapeutic. When you serve others, you can set aside your own worries and uplift your fellow human beings.
