About this episode

The episode discusses the host's feelings of guilt related to illness and the importance of seeking help.

I have this weird thing I don't understand well. I feel guilty for being sick. My health took a dive the last 2 months. I pushed myself hard to keep working on my business and podcast. Eventually I had to stop to rest and get help. I have a hard time saying what is wrong sometimes I don't even tell my doctor. But this time it was different. I told my doctor everything...I am getting help. I am even going to get counseling About this podcast: I was afraid to be myself for years. I pretended to be comfortable in social events, parties, work meetings. But inside I was struggling; afraid of being judged and saying something stupid. Then I read a book called Quiet by Susan Cain. This book changed my life. I am learning and want to share this messy stuff about myself and the world. I hope you find this useful. Want to learn more about your personality?
