Summary: In this week's episode, meet Amanda Gist from Nevada. Amanda is a professional speaker, writer, and storyteller speaking out about messy life in a shiny, Instagram-perfect world. She loves mac and cheese, thunderstorms, dark roast coffee, The Lumineers, and her rescue dog, Haylie. Amanda worked as an actor in Hollywood for five years until bulimia severe depression took over her life, but when she left LA to get help, she didn't have a plan for what would come next and fell into a deeper depression, having walked out on her dream and feeling like an utter failure. Amanda fought her way through years of suicidal depression and eating disorders and chose to live, now speaking, writing, and teaching to help others fight for their own lives. She's learned to believe it's never too late to dream a new dream. Amanda will be speaking at the Life Mastery Institute Global Mental Health Summit in May 2020 as part of Mental Health Awareness Month. Amanda shares the warning signs of what to look for in your own loved ones to help them face and recover from the mental health challenges that keep us down.
