An Accidental Sip, Setting Boundaries & Finding Reasons to Stay with Gabby Scollard

Got a question for me? Send me a text! This week on Jess Being Honest, I'm catching you up on Halloween weekend, including our Dr. Phil and Bhad Bhabie costumes, an accidental sip of alcohol that brought back some unexpected emotions, and a situation that had me questioning whether I handled setting a boundary the right way. I'm also sharing a really proud parenting moment with Abby and why breaking generational cycles and creating a safe space for honest conversations with our kids means so much to me. Then I'm joined by Halifax author, content creator, and mental health advocate Gabby Scollard for a conversation about anxiety, depression, finding your purpose, and learning to ask for help. Gabby shares the story behind her book Why I Stay: 365 Reasons to Stay Alive When Your Mind Is Giving You Every Reason Not To , how writing helped her through some of her darkest moments, and why she's passionate about helping others feel less alone. We also get into social media pressure, personal growth, friendships, sobriety, and learning to be kinder to ourselves. It's a little bit of everything this week! Some laughs, some uncomfortable moments, and some really meaningful conversations. ❤️ A huge thank you to our sponsor, Purple Cow Internet! 🐮💜 Locally owned and operated in Nova Scotia, Purple Cow offers internet plans starting at $60/month.
