626. How to Stop Seeking External Valida...

Heal Squad
About this episode

Do you struggle with loving yourself the way you know you should? Do you have trouble putting yourself first? Do you want the best tips on how to prioritize truly loving yourself?!

 

Today we have Zachary Levi- actor, author & mental health advocate most known for his leading role in the movie “Shazam!” 

We dive into his mental health journey- finding himself at rock bottom at 37, and how he built himself back up again. He opens up about the traumas he had been suppressing, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the stigma of medication. Along with sharing about his journey, he gives incredible mental health advice that could help everyone. We also talk the importance of choosing love over fear, having true empathy for others, and why we have to put ourselves first. We hope you enjoy and that this helps you - we learned so much from Zach!
