Underneath It All; Season 2, Episode 1
"I've never been interviewed like this. I wanted to show you all the real me. I wanted to share with you who I was and why I do the work that I do. Because for all you know, I'm just some person who's hosting a podcast about mental health stories in the outdoors. But there's a lot more to me than just my passion for storytelling. And before we dive deep into season 2, I thought it may help you , the listener, to understand why I'm so passionate about this work."
On the Season 2 premiere of Underneath it All, Grizel shares her personal mental health story with podcast host and friend, Julie Hotz. Together, they discuss the complexities of maintaining mental health wellness, experiences with medication, and why being aware of your mental health is so important.
At the end, Grizel releases new song, "Be Alright," by Passiflora available on Spotify on Monday, November 23rd.
