Shining Light on Shadows: A Candid Conversation About Mental Health
Alison DeCamp joined me and my co-host, Dawn Neuburg, for Ep. 54, “Compassion Before Cleanup: Mental Health, Clutter and Shame” last Thursday.
This was very personal for me. I know firsthand about the guilt and shame of clutter. I shared pictures of my office during the show (what you don’t see through my webcam) and several viewers shared their own challenges with clutter in the comments. I definitely felt like I wasn’t alone.
Heads up! On Thursday, Aug. 27 at 7pm ET, Sree will be our guest for Ep. 55, “The Mental Health Impacts of Social Media on Teens AND Adults." You won’t want to miss it.
We’ll post the link on our Shining Light on Shadows website closer to the show.
