All right. Welcome to the weekly pep talk with my mom, Nancy Yancey, and it's the certified

Mama's Boy podcast. I am Steve Kramer, Steve Yancey, whatever you want to call me.

I don't even know. It's really hard sometimes to know what

to answer to when people are like well what should I call you I'm like I don't even

know is it Steve is it Stephen is it Kramer is it Yancey I'm like I just it's one of those four in any of those orders and I'll usually it doesn't matter I'll usually

answer to it anyway that's not why you're here so these are the we do these once a week in case you're

new to the podcast it's my mom just coming on here by

herself. I leave a topic up to her. She can choose whatever she wants to talk about and

she just kind of goes in and does it. So tomorrow, well I don't know if you guys

listen in order or not, but on Monday's podcast, we do the Monday Cheesme, you know, it's like the gossipy stuff that I haven't been able to talk to about that much.

So we will do that tomorrow and just a busy week on the show. So come on back tomorrow and now the pep talk when my mom is up next.

We talked on Friday about mental health awareness month and he shared with you as did Steph one of his former coworkers and good friends

about their own struggles with anxiety and depression and right now in the midst of

coronavirus we are certainly not alone in struggling with mental health

issues. I don't know of a time in our history

when the stress has been any greater or any worse for everyone. In fact, recent Washington Post ABC News Poll found that 77% of American women

and 61% of men reported personal stress.

There's so many stressors in our life just in normal times,

but now they're exacerbated by the coronavirus. we have to really take extreme care of ourselves and one of the reasons that Stephen aka

Kramer is so willing to share his own story about anxiety and depression

is because he knows that knowing that someone else is out there helps so many others as he's found in

his own life and there's such a stigma around mental health issues.
