This is not the mental health talk I had planned, but it’s the one life gave me. This week I talk about how my recent layoff has affected me, and share a tip on how you can overcome feelings of shame or humiliation when losing your job, or missing out on that big opportunity.
While I don’t post mental health videos on a schedule, I do plan on posting somewhat regularly. Subscribe and hit the notification bell to stay in the loop!

Follow along on my mental health journey as I talk openly about a variety of topics that affect my mental health. These topics vary wildly from minor annoyances to major life changing events, but no matter the size of the issue, it’s important to recognize and understand it.
Remember, if you are struggling with your mental health, seeking help is always the best first step. Talk to someone. Anyone. And remember, many therapists offer a sliding scale to accommodate those in need.

As a mental health advocate, I have been speaking at conferences and growing Brainbuzz - my mental health brand and Youtube channel. I share my experiences with anxiety and depression in the field of UX and how they relate to the experiences we craft. I am available and actively seeking more speaking engagements.
