Johnny Crowder: Transforming Mental Wellness with Text Messages
I think it's very funny how often, especially people in the tech world, will get super, super psyched about some new tech application that they can use and they totally bypass what is being used.
Can a simple text message shift your mental state for the better? Johnny Crowder, founder of Cope Notes, thinks so. In this episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', Crowder dives into how positive psychology and daily texts can help reshape brain chemistry and foster lasting mental wellness. Crowder's journey is one of personal struggle and triumph. Battling his own mental health issues, he found traditional methods lacking and sought a more innovative approach.
Enter Cope Notes: a service that sends random, uplifting messages to help users build healthier habits over time. By leveraging neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to adapt and change—these messages aim to offer a small but consistent boost to mental health. But it's not just about the texts. Crowder emphasizes the importance of self-reliance and integrating these tools into a broader mental wellness strategy.
This episode offers a unique look at how technology can play a role in mental health recovery, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in new ways to support their journey. Tune in to hear Crowder's insights and discover if a text message can indeed make a difference.
