YOU BELONG. BUT, YOU GOTTA OWN YOUR WEIRD!

Today, I have an absolutely transcendent conversation with Instagram expert, Tyler J. McCall about the deep stuff: depression, authenticity, and finding belonging by owning who you are and your reaction(s) to the shit that happens in life.

And, boy, there’s a lot of shit that happens.

In this episode, Tyler explains how he dealt with ongoing, clinical depression and discovered his own responsibility in owning his identity, his depression, and his isolation. He also talks about the importance of finding belonging through holding yourself accountable for your actions. (<==this is hard but OH SO NECESSARY)

The best part? You will leave this episode with tools to help you find your own authentic self on your quest for belonging and community.
