*trigger alert; see below. What happens when you love what you do, but it causes you heart break? The space between "Action & Cut" is the sweet spot in life for Actress Kim Crossman. It's the only place where she feels the Euphoria of being hyper-focused and fully present in the moment. Not worried about the past or the future.

Kim is an Actress, Author, Presenter, Pretty Depressed Podcast Host, and an Ambassador for SPCA & World Vision.

This is such a powerful, real & raw conversation, where Kim opens up her heart and shares with us her journey through depression, recently experienced suicidal thoughts, the taboo around discussing them with others, her insights, learnings & wisdom. She also shares her wicked sense of humor.

We're so grateful to Kim for having the courage and vulnerability to share her story. She does so because she knows the power of sharing stories when it comes to changing a culture and helping others. And these are important conversations to have!
