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.

Where and how to find a good role model [part 2]
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Not always are we given good role models in our life, we have to go find them. Understanding that you need a good role model is a great first step. You can't stop following the bad role model if you are blind to the fact they aren't a good role model, and you need one. Just like you won't stop to tie your shoe if you don't notice it's untied, right? In this episode, I talk about what to look for in a role model for each area of your life, where to look, and how to learn from their good and bad. We can learn something from everyone in our lives it's just up to us what we decide to take away. I also talk about what to do when a role model walks out or does something that makes you have to remove them from your life, which can be really hard. This week's activity is to write down who you want to be when you grow up or grow up more if you're already an adult. This can help you see the habits of this person and know where they spend their time, so you can find them to follow or look up to.
