I think there's a lot of amazing, useful nuggets for people who are going through some mental health battles of their own right now. All you got to do is, you know, take a little small peek around and you'll find me real quickly.
What happens when you mix mental health advocacy with the deliciousness of sourdough bread and dark chocolate chips? You get an episode of 'Eat Dessert First!' that's as enlightening as it is tasty. This time, Sam Johnson sits down with fellow vanlifer and mental health advocate Sloane Thomas for a heartfelt conversation about the highs and lows of prioritizing mental wellbeing. Sloane opens up about her in-patient rehab experience, contrasting it with Sam's own journey through rehab.
Their discussion reveals how different paths can lead to the same goal: better mental health. But it's not all heavy topics. The episode kicks off with a light-hearted chat about their favorite dessert - sourdough bread with dark chocolate chips. It's a sweet metaphor for finding joy in life's little moments, even when dealing with serious issues like borderline personality disorder and the importance of medication.
Sloane also shares how she uses social media to build a supportive remote community, offering tips for those who might feel isolated in their struggles. The conversation is candid, touching on the benefits of sharing personal stories and how it can help others feel less alone. By the end of the episode, you'll feel encouraged to prioritize your own mental wellbeing and reach out for help when needed.
Whether you're navigating your own mental health journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a blend of empathy, practical advice, and a dash of humor. So grab a slice of sourdough (with chocolate chips, of course) and tune in for a conversation that's as comforting as it is insightful.
