Hey guys, just wanted you to know in this episode we discuss eating disorders,

suicidal ideation, suicidal tendencies, depression, and ADHD. So please take care while listening.

Hey guys, it's Kayla. Candace is not able to join us today, but we are all still so

And we want to hear about how you came to inhabit your diagnosis as well.
