that led to me, I ended up going to a mental health retreat, actually.

So that was a turning point for me.

And soon after that, I, no, actually before the mental health retreat, I went and saw my GP, started on antidepressant, anti-anxiety medication, which has been really helpful for me.

And the mental health retreat was amazing in helping me identify where I was at and what was going on and just giving me a break away from everyday life.

And some new decisions actually made a big difference beyond that retreat.

I was stuck in indecision, which is a very disintegrative state of mind.

to be in when you're there for too long so beyond that mental health retreat again it was a slow and steady kind of change but I felt like I came out of it understanding myself so much better the medication was starting to work and made some new decisions which led you know it was led to some difficult conversations but beyond that but set we set out on a new path

from there.

But the mindset kind of inner work stuff has never stopped.

That daily routines of gratitude, affirmations, listening to positive things, keeping focused on what it is I want, setting goals for myself, keeping in touch with what feels good, the daily care that is of utmost importance to me, going for a walk every day,

The strategies have changed over the years, but I think the fundamentals are still the same.

So if you think about 2018 as being in the black hole, I would say now I'm standing next to the fire.

I feel the most aligned and connected with myself that I have or maybe ever have.

Mental health is still something that's on my radar every day that I have to manage.

I do have a tendency for anxiety.

I...

My nervous system is very sensitive.

So I have to constantly manage sensory input and sensory load.

And the mental load of parenting is probably more my greatest challenge now, Karina.

I find the mental load and the sensory load of our home very challenging.
