Today’s episode is an important conversation. 1 in 7 young people experience a mental illness in any given year, and far too many suffer in silence due to the stigma that surrounds mental health and lack of understanding. Sam Webb, Co-Founder of LIVIN.org, is on a mission to change this.     Sam is championing a space where people feel comfortable talking about any mental health issues, and any emotions that feel so overwhelming you can’t cope with them on your own. He is a bright light that has experienced a lot of darkness. Since his best friends suicide, Sam has made it his mission to promote the mantra “It Ain’t Weak to Speak” to save others who might be suffering silently.   Sam reminds us that that our presence, our listening and caring ear, our encouragement to find help, can change someone’s life.   If you or anyone you know are having thoughts of suicide, there is always someone available to listen: Call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1-800-273-8255 Or you can find additional resources at speakingofsuicide.com/resources   We talk about…   The tragic origin story of LIVIN Making the conversation around mental health cool Asking for help The lack of understanding around mental illness Sam’s own mental health journey The relationship between masculinity and silence Substance abuse and mental health The sleep deprivation epidemic Sam’s self-care routine Experiencing compassion fatigue Why listening is THE most important thing when someone is seeking support Giving people the tools to seek and help + identify warning signs Feeling alone being part of the mental health challenge Working with parents + helping them listen Finding the unique mental health “workout” that works best for you   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Make a difference | LIVIN.org Instagram | @livinorg Facebook | facebook.com/livinorg Twitter | @livinorg Thrive Market | Save 25% off your first order at thrivemarket.com/almost30 Alterra Pure | Use code ALMOST30 for 20% off at alterrapure.com Kopari | Use code ALMOST30 for 20% your first order at koparibeauty.com The Almost 30 Podcast is edited by Podcast Masters This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

Candice Kumai is the “Golden Girl of Wellness,” a professionally trained chef, best-selling author, wellness + food director, influencer, speaker, and leading wellness journalist. She was constantly struggling against other people's fears and insecurities while trying to work in food TV, so she went out on her own to connect with her soul’s purpose. As always, this conversation organically flowed every which way—so grateful for Candice’s candidness.     Candice’s new book, Kintsugi Wellness: The Japanese Art of Nourishing Mind, Body, and Spirit, is a beautiful homage to her heritage and an enlightening perspective on holistic wellness. It’s different from most other wellness books and philosophies out there, and we dive into why.  She writes it in a way that is easily understood and applied.   Candice is also giving 3 copies of Kintsugi Wellness away to #ALMOST30NATION!!
