Host JC leads a Wednesday session exploring mental health as a shared journey, inviting openness and community support while featuring clinicians, peers and personal reflections on making space to feel and uncurl.
Hey, hey, Good morning Cadre. Here you are on this Wednesday. I'm not scared to be seen. There's gonna be the great times and there's gonnabe the not great times. This is the place to be no matter where you are.
On Wednesdays we focus a lot on the big ocean of mental health. How often do we feel the stuff and we close when what we need to nourish the feeling. We need to have a space where we can uncurl on ourselves. Find the spaces.
Hey, hey, Good morning Cadre. A little music as you move on in to the live stream today. Look out world. Here you are on this Wednesday. I'm not scared to be seen. I make no apologies. This is me. Oh, hi Chris. Hey Beezabits, how are you friends? Nice to see you. Well, hey, it is Wednesday if you're watching this live or today. And I hope your week is going great. Even if it's not going great. I think that's, I think that's part of the deal. I think it's part of this so called life. There's gonna be the great times and there's gonna be the not great times.
And this is gonna be the place to be no matter where you are at within that rise and that fall. My name is JC if you've never shared time and space together before, Jules. Nice to see you my friend. I love that sun emoji even when it's not shining because it's now 7:30 and almost, almost November. So still dark outside. But we bring the sunshine for each other, don't we? Yeah. Well on Wednesdays we focus a lot on the big ocean of mental health. Throughout the day you're going to go ahead and see a big bunch of really awesome individuals, professionals and peers, clinicians and people living this so called life from the highs and lows and shaping perspectives on it.
And you know, I often think back to my, back to my college days, you know, so I was a theology major in undergrad. Meaning that I studied believing in stuff. Anything, right? Whether that be baseball or music or food or family or, or God or whatever. Hey Anila, nice to see you my friend. But I studied the act of believing in stuff. And in my studies I spent a lot of time reading and researching people who, who thought about the act of believing in stuff. And there's this one author, Augustine who would talk about how when life would get rough and tumbly, Augustine would curve in on themselves or in Latin incurvatus say I would curve in the reality of life being lived would cause them to only be able to see inward or see closer.
See darkness that is blocking the light. And it was in the moment of going, hey, you know what? This is part of life and life needs all of this stuff. That is when it goes to start to see the potential of the world again. Hey Chels, nice to see you. So I think our mental health journey is a lot like that. How often do we feel the stuff and we close when what we need to nourish the feeling or to acknowledge that we are in this life, in the highs and the lows, that we need to be able to have a space where we can uncurl on ourselves.
I think that's your opportunity here. Find the spaces. Hey, Luke, nice to see you, my friend. Your opportunity is to go ahead and say, hey, in the moments when I want to or when I need to. Then all of a sudden we go, hey, you know what? I need to curve off for a little bit. Do it amongst other people. Do it with the support of other people. Do it with people saying, hey, yeah, you know what? It sounds like you need to feel sad right now. It sounds like you need to open up right now. It sounds like you need to take some time right now.
And all of those little moments, are you saying, I need? I am, I will, I want. That's the step on the journey. It could be often this you saying, this is me and this is what I need right now. Listen to that voice. And if you need to listen to some other voices today, oh, by golly, just look at the lineup. Rachel Anila. Rachel. Rachel Logan, Illinois. Rachel Havocost, Seattle. As we layer other people's perspective into your day, see it as reminder as a reflection of you saying, here I am. This is me, and this is what I need.
As we play out with a little this is me. Jules. I hope the first day of playoffs in the volleyball world go amazingly well. And Luke, it's so good to see your comments, my friend. Have a good day, everybody. We'll talk to you later.
