It’s #freeyourmindfriday and Whitney from @whitneyfischmsw is taking over our insta from L.A. to share all things mental health! Check out her story below! It all started when I was 19 years old.

Your Fears are Big. Your Purpose is Bigger.
Public speaking used to be my biggest fear. Now it’s my career. It’s crazy to think about how we end up where we end up. My mom used to beg me to take a public speaking course, and I finally took it just for her to stop talking about it. I left that class thinking “phew, thank God I will …

It’s Okay If You Don’t Have It All Figured Out
It’s okay if you don’t have it all figured out. It is okay if you are not sure what your next move will be. It is okay if you are just putting one foot in front of the other and trusting the process. The truth is, most of us don’t have it figured out, some of us are more prepared …

For me personally, making mistakes and dealing with those mistakes, has been incredibly hard for me my entire life. I have always chased perfection, …

While going for a run, I had this thought that I am a recovering perfectionist. I am recovering in this very moment, as I sit on the rocks by the beach and take my time rather than continuing my workout. I am recovering as I take in the view and allow myself to just be. But I haven’t always been …
