The Shek Check Podcast Interview
The Story Must Continue
In 2018, I shared my story on The Depression Files podcast for the first time. I was invited as a guest on The Shek Check Podcast the following year. In this second interview, the story evolves.
Becoming An Advocate
On the Shek Check Podcast, I talked about the new advocacy work I was starting. Most notably, becoming a Peer Support Facilitator with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness).
If 2018 was all about getting comfortable in my skin, then 2019 was about maturing and starting to give back.
The Good Men Project highlighted my writing as a contributing author in the same year.
Serve Others
By studying Buddhism and Yoga, I learned a lot about serving others. In Buddhism, 'bodhisattva' is a Sanskrit word often translated into 'friend of the world.'
I don't have a degree in psychology, and I'm not a social worker, but I have lived experience and a lot of compassion. The goal is to become a friend of the world, a friend to you and those in need.
