A conversation between me and my mind, and you get to come along! Welcome, my name is Gretchen (she/her), I’m a 19 year old from America, and this is my mental health focused podcast where I share my experiences, advice, and generally just whatever’s going on in my mind, in hopes of helping you feel less alone. I’ve struggled with my mental health most of my life, and I recently decided I needed a platform to share my story with others as a support that I wish I could have had for myself. Mental health struggles can be insanely difficult, trust me, I’ve collected a bunch over the years, and no one should have to feel like they’re in it alone. Whether you’re in the thick of it, or looking back, I hope you can find support and comfort here. Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, let’s get through this together and fight the stigma!

What's Going On With My Body Image Journey?
Welcome to the long overdue episode 4 of What’s Going On Up There? (a conversation between me & my mind)!!
Body Image... I have struggled with my body image almost my entire life. In this episode I discuss my relationship with my body, from childhood to college.
There’s a lot of pain surrounding my negative body image, which still affects my everyday life. Sometimes it can feel debilitating, not sure how to move forward, feeling stuck in self-hatred. But I continue to work on this every day (well, most days, some days, occasionally...I’m trying my best here!)
Join me as I share experiences throughout my life that have led me to where I am now. And know, you’re not alone :)
