LLG's #RandomButReal

By Lisa Gilliam

Conversations about any and all things random with an entrée, not a side dish, of mental health advocacy.

I use my performance, communication, and literary arts skills to bring awareness about mental health and other topics. Therefore, whether I am singing, speaking, or writing it is my desire that my words will be melodic, just like music to your ears!

The comments expressed in this podcast are those of mine and/or the guests. They are not intended to be used for professional guidance. Please seek a licensed professional if you are in needed of care, experiencing trauma or in danger.

An asthma attack that led to an "aha" moment-Choosing Me!

An asthma attack that led to an "aha" moment-Choosing Me!

Lisa discusses her history with asthma the day after having her last asthma attack and the "aha" moment that took place while in urgent care receiving a breathing treatment.
It is worth mentioning that asthma attacks don't always look like what you may think. No one around me was aware that I was having trouble breathing. I am grateful for my supervisor, who allowed me to go and get treated without hesitation.
Please note that this podcast was recorded a day after the asthma attack, so although I (Lisa) was feeling better, you may hear some coughing, slight wheezing, and loss of voice at times during this broadcast.

Update: I was still coughing and wheezing several days after recording this podcast. I returned to urgent care for another breathing treatment, which also meant more money, smh, but, prayerfully, I will have clear lungs and be able to sing, speak and more importantly, breathe freely!
