Blake Loates’ greatest passion is to educate and speak about mental health and suicide prevention. She openly shares her own struggles to help others know they are not alone, there is help, and there is beauty in resilience and connection. She joins The Inner Circle to share her own internal battles with depression, and how she used her own artistic talent to capture other people with mental illness and serve her community as a leader. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: The strength and beauty Blake sees in working with people with a mental illness. More about Blake’s personal struggle with depression, anxiety disorder, and bipolar disorder. Why we must challenge the stigma and shed light on the truth in mental illness. Depression is a very real and often very physical disease, with many debilitating symptoms and physiological changes. The importance of talking about depression before it gets too late. The trip to Nepal that changed Blake’s life forever, and the opportunity it created for her to realize her passion and skill for photography. That just loving something immensely is not enough to fully cure mental illness. Blake’s experience as a psychiatric nurse, and the fundamental knowledge of mental illness and suicide prevention it gave her. The jump Blake made to pursue photography full time, and how dreams never fully look the same in real life as they do in our minds. More about We all Believe In You — a peer support community to offer people with mental health issues support and connection. The impact that Robin Williams’ death had on her own decision to dive in and fully commit to photography in order to show just how isolating mental illness can be. What it felt like for Blake to have her photography displayed at events and have people resonate so deeply with her work and their truth. More about her achievement as the only Canadian selected for Facebook’s Community Leadership Program. Three important things to remember when dealing with a loved one that has mental illness: believe, listen, don’t judge. What the next steps will be for her in both her personal life and as an advocate. Quotes: “When you say mental illness, the first thing that pops into my mind is resilience.” “I felt like a freak, and I felt like I had no one to connect with.” “I didn’t know why I should have to feel ashamed for something I didn’t do to myself.” “This camera changed my life.” “Photography brought me into people’s best moments.” “I make sure my pride comes from an act of helping and service.” “The illness tricks you. It makes you believe you don’t deserve life or joy.” Mentioned: Canadian Mental Health Organization We All Believe In You...The Community Facebook Community Leadership Program @blakeloates Blake Loates Journey Into the Inner Circle: Carrie Doll @CarrieADoll – Twitter @carriedollconsulting – Instagram Carrie Doll – Facebook Please rate, review and follow the podcast!

Mental Health.They say not enough men talk about it. Or people are scared to talk about it. There are a lot of people who assume that a such a positive person couldn't possibly be brought to tears when they think about someone they lost in a battle to mental health, as though battles are never faced by positive supportive people.It's hard to define, people have different experiences and it feels uncomfortable or in some instances it's frowned upon to talk about the negative things in life.Unless we talk about it, really dig deep into what it feels like, we can't experience growth. When we can't acknowledge or really own it when we are at a low in our mental health or when we can't tell the story of how someone else's mental health altered our lives, we can't really experience the support we may need.This episode is incredibly meaningful to me, and is amplified by the addition of my guests who both have stories of their own.Listen in as I open up on the topic of mental health across the table from Blake Loates and Michelle Bagnell.If this episode resonates you, pass it on, or share it. If you have a story of your own you'd rather share instead, I challenge you to share it with someone. We need to be okay with not being okay, because mental health is just as much a priority as physical and unless we acknowledge that it is there, that it's a thing, and that it plays a role in everyone's life, how will we ever fight life's battles?#weallbelieveinyou #purpose #letstalk #endthestigma   This is a public episode.
