![#054: Mental Health Is Not Shameful - with Jordan from Listen, Lucy
On the cusp of the pandemic, Jordan - Founder of Listen Lucy, had just invested for her business to scale from speaking engagements into a speaking agency but 2020 decided otherwise and with events coming to a halt, her business collapsed.
Today we talk about how we both sank on the 2020 boat and what helped us bounce back. Both with very different surroundings and support systems.
*Content note: this episode discusses anxiety and suicide prevention, discretion is advised*
We go over:
⢠How to deal with a crisis.
⢠When your livelihood is taken away from you, how to cope so you can move on to your next chapter?
⢠In order to be the best parent for your kids, you sometimes need to prioritise yourself.
⢠To quote Jordan: âThatâs the thing with mental illness. As your life changes, so does the illness, and you have to adapt.â If a coping mechanism doesnt work anymore, drop it and replace it with something else, donât stunt your process.
⢠When youâre feeling depressed or anxious, how do we convey how weâre feeling without freaking people out or making them feel powerless?
⢠When mental health issues are part of who we are, we shouldnât apologise for that.
⢠We all have mental health.
⢠When pulling away from your partner because youâre ashamed of showing them your mental health, that can be a breach of trust.
⢠Why spreading the message and exposing herself like this, is so important for Jordan.
⢠The 5 warning signs your friend may not be doing well and needs you to check in [WHAP which stands for Withdrawal - Hopelessness - Agitation - Poor self care &/or Personality change].
⢠The Upper limit problem.
