Stigma is still a reality for many people.
Stigma has a sneaky way of creeping back into our lives just when we think we've beaten it. Jennifer Fisk knows this all too well. In this episode of 'Life Unscripted', host Janice Arnoldi catches up with Jennifer, who bravely opens up about her ongoing battle with severe anxiety and the relentless stigma that comes with it. After overcoming initial challenges, Jennifer thought she had left stigma behind, only to face it again in her dream job.
The fear of being judged and doubted by her new colleagues pushed her to hide her anxiety, which only made things worse. COVID-19 has intensified these struggles for many, with one in three Canadians now dealing with mental health issues. Through Jennifer's story, Janice and Jennifer delve into the paralyzing effects of stigma and the importance of finding support.
This conversation is a heartfelt reminder that even when stigma tries to pull us down, seeking help and talking about our struggles can light the way forward. Tune in for an episode filled with empathy, hope, and a call to break down the barriers that stigma builds.
