| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to another episode of Vibin and we're just going to look at a little chit-, little ketchup, we'll throw out with a little chit-chat, we'll get there, and we'll chat with you guys, and then at some point we'll do a little Q&A, put up a slop. Probably I went to a phone about Instagram to ask me some questions and I never got to them, so I figured this is the perfect time. But I wanted to give you guys a quick update on my mental health journey because I know I talked a lot about that at the end of last year, specifically this year too with my Wobutron journey and things like that. And I just want to say and reiterate that I know I've said here |
| 0:55.4 | multiple times, if you are struggling, please reach out for help. Medication was so stigmatized |
| 1:02.6 | to me. I like to do things on the holistic route. And if I learned anything in 23 and all |
| 1:09.4 | of this year, the first six months of the year is that |
| 1:11.7 | that's not always the case and that like at some point that can be sort of brainwashing to |
| 1:17.1 | certain extent and that there is no shame in needing medication. Will it be whether it be a |
| 1:22.0 | GLP one compound shot like I'm on, whether it be, well, butchen, whether it be Prozac, whether it be Xanax, whether it be |
| 1:29.1 | literally anything that you need. There should be no shame in needing help because I just have to say |
| 1:32.9 | that both medications that I've been on has completely changed my life and the quality of my life. |
| 1:38.2 | And I just wish more than anything that I had embarked on this journey sooner. So I just really |
| 1:43.0 | wanted to start off the episode, you know, reminding you all that you are so worthy of getting the life that you dream of |
| 1:50.8 | and that it's so possible. It's out there. And I know it's not always easy. I was somebody who didn't |
| 1:55.4 | have insurance. I know that it's expensive at times. So I reckon, while I recognize that, |
| 1:59.9 | if you do have the access, I really |
| 2:01.9 | strongly advise doing what's best for you and not, and blocking out all of the bullshit, not |
| 2:07.7 | worrying what anybody would have to say about it, to be quite honest. So last week, we talked about |
| 2:12.8 | how we've been hanging out with my nieces for the last two and a half weeks. It's been such a joy and |
| 2:17.9 | pleasure with them. And furthermore, it makes me so incredibly excited to be a mom. You guys know |
| 2:22.5 | that's something that I've talked about embarking on as well and like getting healthy so that I |
| 2:27.7 | can do so in the best and healthy as to be possible for myself and my baby. So it's just been like a |
| 2:32.6 | little glimpse in what life could be like. And that makes |
| 2:34.6 | me so excited because for so long, and I think when parenthood, I thought about parenthood, it's like, I wouldn't have a baby. I wouldn't have a baby. But now I'm just like really excited to have a full and complete family and have a home filled with love and happiness and laughter. So I'm just really excited about that. And I'm so grateful to my cousins. |
