My dear friend Christina Warden (she/her), a licensed therapist brought me into not one of, but many of the worlds that she has lived through. Christina shares her story about healing from the trauma she has endured. From a fear of dogs to surviving a cult, Christina is the definition of the phrase "We contain multitudes." I am so honored to have Christina trust me with her words and to share how she has survived and reclaimed herself and her story.

WELCOME!
Mental Health Chat Monday was born from the need to de-stigmatize mental illness and all things that go with the journey to mental wellness. As a survivor, I feel it is my duty to encourage others and share these incredibly important stories so that those suffering silently understand that they are not alone. I hope that if you are tuned in, you are getting the help that you need and if not; that this podcast will encourage to do so.
With Love,
DDare Bionic
