Simone Biles and the Power of Prioritizing Mental Health
“When you struggle with mental illness, when you struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder, when you struggle with depression, it's not like you can say, hey, you know, I've got this, so I shouldn't do this, like I shouldn't compete in the Olympics, I shouldn't start a nonprofit, I shouldn't do these things because I suffer from this.”
What happens when a world-class athlete like Simone Biles decides to put her mental health first, even during the Olympics? In this episode of the #RecoveryFirst Podcast, Mike Todd dives into this hot topic, exploring the broader implications for anyone struggling with mental health issues. From overcoming childhood trauma to managing PTSD and depression, the discussion is both eye-opening and deeply relatable. The episode also highlights the crucial role of recovery housing in supporting those battling substance use disorders.
Mike and his guests challenge the 'should-ing' mentality that often pressures individuals to meet unrealistic expectations, emphasizing the importance of self-care and community support. Whether you're dealing with your own mental health challenges or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a sense of hope.
