Trigger Warning: includes mentions of suicide. Listener discretion advised.  *Note from Kelcey; "This episode is nowhere near perfect or exactly how I want it. That is okay because I am trying to be a little "messy" to fight my anxiety/OCD and I know I can and I will do better." Kelcey starts her first episode alone. Speaking on your own can be scary but we all have a story to tell. This episode dives deep into how Kelcey became willing to open up and get help for her own mental health struggles. She hopes in hearing this it will help you or someone you know ask for help when they need. You are never alone. Let's begin #failingforwardtogether Please be sure to rate the podcast!
