Because I Said So: Episode 11—It’s The Climb

08/08/20 • 32 min

In this episode, my dad and I sat down to talk about our emergency on the mountaintop, what that experience taught us about mental and physical age, and what it meant to hike the highest mountain in Colorado together. We also talk about the loss of his mother, how he coped, and how having a child provided new purpose.

This episode is a bit different! Recently, I got the chance to speak on the topic of mental health at a virtual town hall hosted by teens interning with a program called Opportunity Now. It was called "Speak Up: Lifting Teen Voices," and I wanted to share this insightful conversation with you! Feel free to listen straight through or skip around, no matter which you choose it will be a great listen! Thank you for your support, and don't forget to share with others you think would enjoy listening.
