When Alex and I recorded together for episode two of the show back in 2017, she had no idea of the hurdles that lay ahead in her journey. My first-ever guest back in 2017, we recently agreed that it was time to have her back for round II. For episode 157, the New York-based trainer and "human" (listen to find out where that\'s coming from) is getting really vulnerable about the bumps in the road over the last few years, including falling in love (and then ending an engagement), leaving her job, and checking herself into a mental health facility at the end of 2020 \\u2014 emerging from treatment with a new lease on life. She offers up her tips for anyone who can share in her struggle, we talk about the importance of having good relationships in life and how to set boundaries, and navigating spending time alone.

The stuff we get into today is serious. I can\'t stress enough that this was a conversation we talked a lot about before having it, and our hope is that it opens up important discussions within our communities. I\'m grateful to Alex for opening up, and I want to reiterate that if you struggle with your mental health \\u2013 you are not alone. Some helpful resources:
