Episode 1: Mental Health ≠ Mental Illness – Let’s Talk About ItWelcome to the very first episode of the podcast! 🎙️I’m so excited (and a little nervous) to finally hit record and start this journey with you. Today, we’re kicking things off with an important conversation—one that’s often misunderstood: mental health is *not* the same as mental illness.In this episode, I’m laying the foundation for what this podcast is all about: redefining how we think about mental well-being, and creating space for real, honest conversations about growth, happiness, and healing. Whether you're here to learn, grow, or just feel a little less alone, I’m so glad you’re joining me. Let’s go on this journey together—towards becoming happier, healthier humans. 🌱✨Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode!

✨ Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself | True Reality Life PodcastAfter taking time off to welcome my baby and adjust to a new season of life, I’m back — not perfect, not polished, but present. In this episode, I’m reintroducing myself, my passion, and the heart behind this podcast.I share where my love for mental health truly began: growing up with a mom who lived with bipolar disorder, navigating life through the lens of chaos, compassion, curiosity, and resilience. That experience shaped who I am today — a mom, a neuroscience-educated nurse, and someone deeply passionate about helping others understand themselves on a deeper level.This episode is laid back, real, and just me showing up — even imperfectly. I’m rebuilding the habit of consistency, giving myself grace, and laying the foundation for what this podcast will continue to grow into.If you’re new here, welcome.
