Coming up next on Passion Struck, the lie that we tell ourselves is, I don't want other people to find out and I'm constantly reminding folks, if you're struggling with anxiety, if you're struggling with depression, if you're struggling with food choices and body image issues, the people around you know, the demon there is often, if they truly love you, they will think it's them that's making you uncomfortable and they'll try to solve it.

And especially your kids will try to solve it. And so you have a group of people wondering why every time you're in the room, they feel uncomfortable and they think they're crazy, everybody knows, everybody can, whether they know it intellectually or they feel it in their body, they know when you're not all right, and so the greatest gift you can give somebody to say the words, I'm not all right, welcome to Passion Struck.
