Berge’s Better Tomorrow
Let's talk about life. Your life, my life, everyone's lives, and how we can learn from each other to benefit our own mental and behavioral health. Mental health is just as important as our physical health, yet it is not treated as so. This podcast is hopeful in breaking the stigma around mental health. Not every episode is heavy-hearted (suicide awareness, various mental illnesses, etc.), nor is every episode light-hearted (advice, funny late-night thoughts, etc.), but in every episode, there is something to learn. The content comes from a variety of sources whether clinical research or someone’s very own personal experience. We all go through hard times throughout life, so I want to teach you some ways to make those times a little less hard. Every week there will be a new activity for you to try that could be useful or enjoyable to better your mental health. It can be easy to fall back into the same, destructive pattern but I encourage you to recognize you are not stuck in that way of thinking. Each day you have the opportunity to adjust your way of thinking and what may be helping you could help someone else, so it is important to speak about it. This podcast is set to challenge and expand our way of thinking by allowing us to become more self-aware of ourselves and those around us: you can’t change what you don’t acknowledge, but you can’t acknowledge what you don’t know.

For this week's episode, I am joined by Harris who shares his story of growing up with a biological father who was in and out of his life. He shares what it was like trying to understand the wrong and unhealthy things happening in his family at a young age when he wanted to be able to look up to his father. From learning how to set boundaries for someone trying to manipulate him to be able to overcome low self-esteem and self-doubt, Harris tells us what worked for him to heal and not let this past narrative dictate his life forever.
There are important life lessons for everyone to learn from this episode!
Trigger warning we talk about abuse in this episode.
