Hey everyone, Elise here. This episode was a little difficult for me to sit down and record and I don't even think I said everything I wanted to or articulated it in the best way because it was a bit of a raw subject for me at the time of recording. I focus on self-worth and not letting people- friends, family, relationships, define your worth. Don't let them cause self doubt and destruction.

I feel better about the situation that prompted the episode, the feelings aren't as raw, but it still hurts to talk about and it may for a while. And that's OK. I was mad about not getting over feelings and not moving on fast, but it's OK if it takes time. I learned I need to sit with the feelings and acknowledge them. That will lead to healing. The point is, don't let someone put a price tag on your self-worth.

Thank you all for tuning in being a part of the mental illness conversation.
