Scout Sobel joins us to discuss mental health and creating a life that sparks joy while facing symptoms that work against your serenity.

\\n\\n

Scout started Scout\'s Agency with an emphasis in podcast PR. Most of her clients are women and she loves helping them find their voice in podcasting and other media.

\\n\\n

This did not come without her own trials and tribulations.

\\n\\n

Scout has been living with a severe case of bipolar disorder for 14 years. She once was unable to hold a job, go to school, or function in today\'s society. These experiences led her to host her own podcast, SCOUT, a podcast about mental health with a dose of entrepreneurship.

Scout\\u2019s favorite tidying tip:
\\n\\u201cLook at something in your life, it can be anything, and ask yourself the yes or no question, \\u2018Does it bring you joy?\\u2019 if it doesn\\u2019t, it\\u2019s out. Set that as the standard for your life.\\u201d

\\n\\n

What sparks joy for Scout
\\n\\u201cI have been able to connect with women and have conversations around things that really mean something to people while also connecting with other women who are out there doing incredible things and spreading incredible messages.\\u201d

Gems:
\\n\\u201cEverything goes into a calendar. Every little thing: every call, every task, every email I need to send..I don\\u2019t want to have to remember anything at all and I don\\u2019t want to think about what I have to do until the day before.\\u201d

\\n\\n

\\u201cI just write, write, write until I can drive the negative energy out of me.\\u201d

\\n\\n

\\u201cBe clear on what your goals are for the future.\\u201d

\\n\\n

\\u201cThis is your life, these are the cards that you are dealt and you can take responsibility for your recovery.\\u201d
