As someone who is no stranger to the world of broadcasting, and someone who has battled severe depression their whole life, I'm using my platform to confront mental illness.
My philosophy in broadcasting has always been to be completely transparent. But what I’m asking myself to do in this podcast is so far beyond anything I have ever done. I’m forcing myself to be more self-aware than I have ever been. I’m forcing myself to get in touch with every feeling, with every emotion, to completely open myself up and talk about things I’ve never told anyone before. I’m going to shine a light on the darkest areas of my life as someone who suffers from severe depression. I’m also going to be talking to different people from throughout my life and hear their struggles with dealing with someone with mental illness. The conversations will be raw, genuine, and authentic as we break down this important topic from the inside out. I don’t know where this is going to end, but it is A Place To Start.
