Season One Wrap-Up

Hi this is Jay Insalaco, host of Instinctive Talk. I want to thank you for turning into all of my episodes this past season.  I want to thank all of my guests first and foremost for allowing me to share their stories and experiences with mental health.  For all my listeners this past season, thank you for turning in and taking your time to listen.  While reflecting on this season, I was able to come to a deeper understanding of what good mental health means. I feel like I succeeded to understand why I stopped being a mental health advocate for four years after my friend died by suicide. I learned that we as people don’t know each other’s pain and need to be more empathetic to each other’s feelings and learn to just listen.  This season helped me understand that while I live with bipolar disorder and addiction issues, I need to accept myself first and foremost. I’m truly grateful to have started up this podcast after my four year hiatus. This podcast season has helped me grow and be more empathetic to not only my guests but to the people around me.  If you missed any of my podcast episodes, they’re available on all podcast platforms and on my website InstinctiveBird.com.  If you take anything from my podcasts, I recommend to be kind, be humble, and share your experiences with others.  Thank you for listening and please share any of my episodes with anyone you know who might need to hear them.
