Sam Led is a mindset and transformation coach, author of the book “Fear Less”, powerful speaker, and group facilitator.

In this episode, Paige and Sam discuss the stigma of mental health and the impact it has. Mental health is typically associated with illness, that something is wrong with you, or that you are “broken”. In reality, everyone has mental health and you are more than your ADHD, anxiety, depression, etc. We all feel differently, think differently, and face things differently. As soon as our society begins to normalize mental health and talk about it in a positive light, we will be better off.

They also discuss thought control and what to do with the negative thoughts that take over your mind in times of discomfort. Sam reminds us that pushing thoughts down and utilizing thought-stopping techniques is actually detrimental. Instead, he encourages us to remember that these bad thoughts will pass and your mind will settle. It’s okay to not be okay at that moment. But, by giving ourselves space and grace, prioritizing our mental health, and allowing ourselves to accept that we aren’t perfect beings - the easier it will be to recognize that you are exactly where you need to be.
