Summary

Episode 138: With the days getting shorter and colder weather coming our way, prioritizing yourself and your mental health is a must. This time of year brings up a lot of feelings for a lot of people, and sometimes therapy is just not a viable option. That's where DiveThru comes in — an app created by mental health professionals to help people lead a mentally healthier and more fulfilling life. On today’s episode, Natalie is joined by DiveThru’s founder, Sophie Gray, for a vulnerable conversation about mental health care and its lack of accessibility to people who could really benefit from it. The two open up about the impact of social media on their own mental wellness and the damaging effects of toxic positivity. You’ll walk away understanding your own mental health a little bit better and with some new wellness tools in your toolbelt. Sophie grew her following to over 500k across her social media channels using fitness as her brand and to the world, she seemed to have it all together. But that was not the true story behind her highlight reel, and Sophie ended up suffering a series of panic attacks that led to her breaking point. The journey to living a mentally healthy life has been far from easy but through her own experiences and healing, DiveThru was created. On today's episode we dive into: The ups and downs of being vulnerable online Ways to understand your own mental health better Strategies for creating boundaries both online and offline The pendulum swing of self-love and self-hate Thank you so much for being a part of our podcast community!
