Show Notes

We are celebrating something special in this episode of From Survivor to Thriver- our three-year anniversary of the podcast! 

To mark this significant milestone, we're switching things up by stepping into the guest roles. Our former guest and dear friend, Susan Gold, will be our host.

Over the past 151 episodes, we've had the privilege of hosting incredible guests who shared their stories of healing and triumph over mental health challenges. Now, we're excited to flip the script and present this unique episode.

Join us as we dive into our personal journeys, the inception of the podcast, and how it has evolved into a platform for mental health awareness and support. 

In today’s episode, we cover: 

  • How our deep bond and friendship began 
  • Why and how we decided to start this podcast
  • The joy and challenges we have faced creating this podcast
  • The first step to beginning your healing journey
  • The different ways mental health issues impact different people
  • How our podcast has impacted our own lives and mental health
  • How we overcome imposter syndrome
  • Our reflections on three years of podcasting 

We hope you enjoyed this episode! We have so much gratitude for this show, the people we have met through it, and the platform it has given us to end the stigma around mental health conversations. We hope you will continue to join us week after week as we share these powerful conversations. 

Thanks again for tuning in. We are so grateful to each and every one of you. Please remember to leave a rating and review of our show. It helps us grow and reach those who need it. Also, make sure to subscribe so you never miss an episode!

Quotes: 

“This podcast has opened my eyes to how mental health plays into so many different aspects of so many different people's lives. And it presents itself differently. It's not just the DSM-5 that we're all familiar with. Trauma comes in all shapes and all sizes and all different ways.” -Erik 

“I hope that our message of hope and searching for answers and realizing that we're all important enough to do this work for ourselves and the people around us is coming through.” -Marc
