“I'm sure it's in a Brené Brown book somewhere, but the best advice I've received is about making mental health a part of your life. That's why I say to make it your friend; you need to understand it, even if sometimes you don't know why you're feeling the way you do.”
“Yeah, you know, I'd heard enough people say that this is a good practice to do because I've listened to a lot—like I like to fill my life with positivity, whether it's reading like Brené Brown books and, as you know, on Audible as I drive in my car.”
