Your life has so much meaning, you have so much to give and so many people in so many lives you can touch with your own unique perspective.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by dark thoughts and wondered if there's a way out?

Jamie emphasizes the importance of self-care strategies and spiritual practices, revealing how they helped her navigate through tough periods. She also discusses how crucial it is to reach out for help, even when you feel like you're not 'bad enough' to deserve it. Community plays a big role in Jamie's story.
