Talking about using humour to hide behind our pain and some of the potential costs to it

Talking about how to stop putting our resources and effort into things that no longer serve us

Weighing the pros and cons of sharing your mental illness on social media

Very very honest, very deep, very raw look into depression and suicidal thoughts. It's not light stuff.

Talking about sadness and depressive episodes while in one and choking up a little

Getting a bit vulnerable talking about heartbreak, breakups and relationships.

A little update, thoughts on "back the school", self-deprecating humour and why being honest and real is more important than showing off and acting like you have your sh*t together.

You're probably using the word "should" too much. So here's why you SHOULD stop.

Your 20s are weird. Transitions are weird. You know what, life is weird. This episode is all about that.

Another poetic masterpiece, this time about self-care

VB reflects on the past year, it's been a little f*cked up. 'What if everything you're going through is preparing you for what you asked for.'

VB gets really real and vulnerable talking about relationships and heartbreak. No tears (surprisingly)

Recovery doesn't mean depression is gone for good. Here's what that's like.

All about therapy and why everyone should go

A talk about the part of recovery no one talks about

Figure out exactly why VB cares so much about mental health: both her own and YOURS (yeah, I care about you).

This is the part where I get better. This is my recovery. It's my favourite part.

You thought it was bad before? Haha, just wait. This is my rock bottom, but thankfully that's over.

Ok things are starting to get more real here. VB doesn't hide anything. "Why is she telling us this," you ask? BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO FEEL BETTER.

Get to know about me, VB, and all of my issues right away. I don't waste time with small talk, let's jump right to the deep stuff.
