    I finally take on the issue that was the reason I started this podcast. Bell and their "Let's Talk" campaign.  I'm not a fan and it seems I am not alone.

  • 011 - 1 In 5 with Megan te Boekhorst

    19/03/2019 Duration: 28min

     Why I Created the 1 IN 5 Sweater I've been struggling with my depression lately.  I don't know if it's just chemical, or if it's from the stress of having recently started a business (it is terrifying after all). It's getting harder to wake up in the mornings and start my day. Getting dressed takes effort.  It's not as bad as it's been - not even close. But it's a reminder that it's there. Constantly. And I'm one of the lucky ones.  1 in 5 Canadians will struggle with mental illness. I am 1 in 5. But the four other people in my life who don't live with mental illness still feel the impact. They are touched by mine.  1 in 5 will struggle with mental illness, but 5 in 5 have mental health. We all need to do a better job at caring for our mental well being, and the well being of those around us.  1 in 5 will struggle with mental illness, but we don't really talk about it. We continue to hide mental illness in the dark. We don't fully understand it, nor do we want to.  I create

  • 009 - Escaping The Rabbit Hole - Tracey Maxfield

    12/03/2019 Duration: 51min

     I spend this episode with Tracey Maxfield. She is a nurse with over 36 years’ experience.  Tracey experienced her first episode of clinical depression in her twenties and lived with chronic depression ever since. However, nothing prepared her for the acute depressive episode she experienced in 2015. After enduring years of intense workplace stress, harassment and bullying, she plummeted into an abyss of darkness, hopelessness and despair the likes of which she had never experienced before. Encouraged by a psychologist, Tracey started a Blog, Escaping the Rabbit Hole: my life with depression, to better help her friends understand her depression. Over time, Tracey began to heal and found that out of the darkness and despair, there is hope, there is life after depression. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/weretalking/support
