Speaking Out: Jeramy Allen on Mental Health and Emotional Intelligence
For me it was like the narrative came from feeling like I was being difficult, you know as being difficult, or I was being um, uh, like not really like high maintenance, but kind of for lack of a better way to put it. But it takes humans like you and I to be able to see that and realize it's okay, like you're human.
Ever wondered how to break the silence around mental health? In this episode of the 'Human Be(com)ing' podcast, Anna Liljenwall sits down with her friend Jeramy Allen, also known as Jae, to tackle this very question. Jae, a passionate advocate for mental health and emotional intelligence, shares his journey from studying psychology to actively working in suicide prevention. His latest project? A mental health-focused clothing line called 'Talk About It', which donates proceeds to charity with each release.
But it's not just about clothes; it's about creating a culture where talking about mental health is as normal as discussing the weather. Anna and Jae's conversation is a heartfelt exploration of the guilt and shame that often accompany mental health struggles. They discuss the importance of transparency and self-awareness, and how these qualities can transform relationships. By sharing their personal experiences, they aim to inspire others to seek support and speak openly about their mental health.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to break the stigma and embrace their own humanity.
