?? At Morgan's Message, we are incredibly grateful for our community. Over the past four years, we've been fortunate to feature amazing podcast guests and talented story authors. This November, we're celebrating some of our past authors, and this week, we're excited to share "Thank You, Morgan's Message" by Kat Zempolich one of our co-founders and co-hosts of The Mental Matchup. “But here’s what I’ve come to understand: we all have work to do when it comes to mental health, and that work starts with ourselves. It’s about acknowledging the tough stuff—those raw, uncomfortable truths—and finding hope in the vulnerability of sharing them with others. This journey has taught me that the fear of talking about mental health can be surpassed by the profound hope that comes from discussing it openly. There’s a freedom in acknowledging that it’s okay not to be okay, and it’s okay to ask for help. In fact, it’s more than okay; we should celebrate those brave and vulnerable enough who are asking for help.” #gratefulreflections #thementalmatchup #mentalhealthawareness Read Now: https://lnkd.in/erNkH-gG
