Welcome to going mental. This is your host, I'm Eileen Kelly. I'm interested in the things many of us face but don't always talk about.

On the show, not only will I be sharing more about my own anxietyieties and depression, but I'm also going to be talking to a wide range of guests about their own mental health journeys.

Along with professionals, we're going to help educate you and me on the ins and outs of mental illness.

Can't wait for you to hear what's in store.

Okay, on today's episode, I am back from my little podcast hiatus and this is a solo

episode I wanted to just get on here talk to you guys about what's been going on for me, some changes in my personal life which are very exciting and changes for work and some projects I've been working on.

So I hope you enjoy.

I want to be transparent that the solo episodes aren't the easiest for me

but I want to come on here and just be really open with you guys

about what's been going on for me.

So I hope you enjoy.

having to conduct an interview but still I only want to put things out there that yeah, again I feel

comfortable with and for some reason I was having a really hard time. I would record these episodes and then be like,
