Let's Normalize Mental Health (Anxiety, Eating Disorders, OCD, Sexuality, Depression) - a podcast by Zachary Barber

Alexis Inouye is an aspiring therapist/licensed clinical social worker on a quest to normalize mental illness!! Alexis has struggled with mental illness most of her life. She's fought with depression, an eating disorder, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and OCD.. But hey..SHE'S STILL HERE TODAY!!! Alexis is a light to those who are afraid and alone. She shares her painful, yet inspiring journey on overcoming her demons. Alexis opens up about being deeply depressed on her LDS mission in Japan. Heck! We talk about how Mormon culture can be toxic on mental health. Yes, we are active members... BUT.. We believe so many people are debilitated by guilt, shame, and anxiety that comes from failing to live the commandments. Wait, humans aren't perfect?? OF COURSE NOT. It's time to stop shaming and loving ourselves more.
