Secrets Keep You Sick: Normalizing Mental Illness

Mental Health Disorders affect 1 in 5 Canadians every year. By the age of 40, 1 in 2 Canadians have, or have had, a mental health condition (Source: Smetanin et al. (2011)).

But even with the frequency of mental illness throughout the world, mental health disorders remain grossly undertreated due to deeply ingrained stigmas, the role of the media, and barriers to access due to the intersectionality of race, gender, sexuality, class, and education.

Having worked with stepmoms from around the world, and encouraging self-care practices such as yoga, meditation, emotional freedom techniques, & a good night’s rest, sometimes the reason for unhappiness in your relationships, your stepfamily, or even your career can be deeper than “not trying hard enough.”

In this deeply personal and vulnerable episode, Brittany shares the raw, honest truth at the difficulties of getting through the system to see the appropriate mental health provider, and asks you to examine how mental health disorders might be at play for you, your partner, your stepchildren, or your loved ones.
