Joy & Tonic

Thank you guys for hanging out, sticking it out through the hiatus, and cheering me on. I would not have continued to make this if it wasn’t for you. I hope this podcast encouraged or inspired you in some way to embrace your inner joy. If it just provided you with some entertainment, that’s cool too. I’ve learned a lot over the last year and a half ish, mostly that joy isn’t constant even when you find it. It’s a process and a journey but the effort is rewarding. Who knows maybe I’ll be back, but for now it’s bye!

On today's episode I talk to one of my best friends about her journey with mental health. It's an important conversation for everyone to have.  We discuss how to be an ally, how to ask for help and how to recognize when you aren't okay. Of course we aren't professionals and this is solely Meghan's experience. We hope you learn something from this conversation!  Mentions & Resources: Psychology Today Suicide Prevention Line, 800-273-8255 Crisis Text Line Burn Boot Camp Find Meghan @meghjordan Find us @JoyandTonicPodcast and joyandtonicpodcast.com https://anchor.fm/joy-and-tonic/message Music by Anthony Taddeo

The idea of picking what you want to do for the "rest of your life" at 17 is so silly. Today on Joy & Tonic, this planner talks about how not having plan was really the best course of action. Hope you enjoy! Happy to answer any questions or concerns you might have about this one!
