#6 - Emma's Mental Health Journey

Published: June 2, 2020, 4:54 a.m.

One of the biggest reasons for launching Lovelly Travels instagram and then on to the podcast was to spread awareness about mental health. Emma "Lovelly" Lovell has been travelling the world since she was 18 on her own and has now visited 64 countries. But in 2019, she decided to make it her mission to visit all 195 UN recognised countries while raising awareness for mental illness. Emma has lived with depression and anxiety since 2005. It's not something people often expect or know about her but it's a huge part of her life and story. She's now a Corporate Speaker for the Black Dog Institute and is passionate about sharing her lived experience to inspire others to open up and seek help when they need it.
