Listen now:

Writer and mental health advocate, Ashleigh Owens, joins us this week for an unflinching look inside her mental health journey. The biggest takeaway from my conversation with Ashleigh and her beautiful smile is to give yourself permission to feel, to love yourself, to be who you are. We talk about how she's intentionally shifted the way she shares online about her mental health, seeking out people who she can look to for support, and how her relationship with her body has evolved over time to a place of self-love. Don't miss this conversation with Ashleigh and then go follow her:
