Welcome to another powerful episode of the Hinesights Podcast, where hope meets healing, and stories become the bridge to recovery.

In this episode I sit down with the incredible Becca Ferry to share a deeply personal and inspiring journey. Becca, a mom, creator, and mental health advocate, opens up about her struggles with anxiety, panic disorder, depression, OCD, and BPD. Through her vulnerability, Becca turns her pain into strength, providing a beacon of hope for those dealing with mental health challenges.

Her story reflects the harsh realities of mental health stigma and the profound impact it can have on an individual's life. Becca shares her insights on loneliness, a prevalent issue among youth, and offers advice on finding support and building resilience.

As Becca emphasizes the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding self-harm, she provides practical strategies for recovery and positive coping mechanisms. Her journey reminds us that healing is not linear, and through compassion and understanding, we can make a significant impact on someone's mental health.
