You're listening to an I-Heart podcast.

Take this personally.

With Morgan Heelsman What is up everybody?

Welcome to the first ever episode of Take This Personally.

I am so excited right now because this podcast has been months, almost years in the making,

and it's just been a whirlwind, and I'm so excited to finally share this incredible project with all

myself to help some other people wherever they may be in their lives. The idea for this

podcast was born out of the moments that I felt the most alone in my life and in the conversations

that I would have with my family and friends following those moments. I knew that if what I was

going through was happening to me, it was most likely

happening to other people in some form or fashion. And they were likely going through really dark

moments as well. And for me, I really hated navigating a lot of those moments feeling so alone.

No matter that I had great support systems, I still felt very alone in what I was

going through. And that's where this podcast kind of was born because I no longer wanted to feel

alone and I didn't want anybody else to feel alone whatever situation they may be going through.

I want people to be able to listen to this podcast and feel

heard, whether it's through laughter or tears, or they're like, oh my gosh, that's me. Even if

this just helps one person, I will know that all of the dark moments and everything that I'm going
