Better Together

Author: Rachel Havekost

Honest talks about mental health with professionals, advocates, and folks who have worked through or currently are in deep therapeutic states of recovery. These conversations engage in radical honesty and deconstruct taboo and hard-to-talk-about topics like suicide, sexual trauma, eating disorders, and more. This is a podcast for deep learning, empathetic recognition, and often times, a place to come and feel a little less alone. You are not alone on your path, and my hope is that with more conversation and courage, we can get better, together.

Lauren's tips for journaling and self-discovery through writing (including some serious truth-bombs and wisdom.
