And I'm so happy to be here with you today.

There is no place I'd rather be than right here in this moment with you right now.

The timing of this episode to come out on Halloween.

Oh, our little coven.

What a treat for us.

I love it.

Perfect timing.

An episode releasing on Halloween. So we had to make it a bit spooky. It's the perfect balance of spooky and heartfelt. And so for people that aren't into scary stuff, don't worry, it's a little bit scary, but it's palatable. But before we jump into this week's very special Halloween edition episode of the low-life podcast, I want to know how you're feeling. Mental health-wise, how are you feeling on a scale of a one to ten? One being bottom of the barrel, 51-50 or as you've never felt worse. A 10 is euphoric bliss. Life is a dream, peaches and cream. You're feeling like you're sipping my tides on the beach somewhere. Life is feeling pretty good for you. Where are you on that scale right now? I know there are a lot of people who are going through. I've been talking to my listeners, friends of mine, family members, and I know with the seasons changing right now, although it is beautiful outside, we love to see the leaves changing colors. But that also means we're heading into the holidays. Days are getting a bit shorter because we don't have as much time outside in the sun. The weather can be a little bit shitty. You're not getting as much vitamin D. For some people, it's super rainy and gloomy where you're at right now. And so I get it if you're feeling a bit depressed. The seasonal depression is real and I understand people can go through it. Myself included at times. And so if you're just feeling a bit anxious, depressed, overwhelmed right now, you can be dealing

with some conflicts in your personal life, dealing with some drama, a breakup, some toxic

relationships, or maybe you're at a crossroads in your career right now and you're unhappy in

your job. That feeling of uncertainty will definitely impact your mental health. And so if you are going through it right now while listening to this, I'm here to tell you right here right now, as someone who has swam in the darkness and didn't think I was going to be okay, let me assure you right here right now that you got this. You're not alone. You're going to be okay. And I promise you are going to get through

this. I was talking to one of my girlfriends and she's been going through it right now, just feeling

a bit depressed. She's at a crossroads in her career. She's unhappy with the amount of money she's

making. She wants to be making more money. And she just feels like she's behind the eight ball.

She was venting to me telling me how she's 35 years old, but feels like she doesn't have this whole adult thing figured out yet. But when she looks at everybody else around her, they've got to figure it out. They're making more money than her. They're further along in their careers than her. They're settling down and getting married and she's single. And so I understand how thinking about those things and even saying them
