Struggle Creates Strength started solely off of my internal drive to help people facing mental health struggles. I have personally struggled with mental health my entire life, so it is a subject that I hold close to my heart. By no means am I an expert on the topic of mental health, but through various personal encounters I have become a very knowledgeable mental health advocate. I am someone who constantly has a smile engraved on my face, but for a long time it was not genuine. My smile was used to mask the emotional struggles and distress that I encountered on an every day basis. Ultimately, I created Struggle Creates Strength to prove that EVERYONE HAS A STORY. No two stories are the same, but every story has the potential to help someone else. Through the podcasts I have filmed thus far I have learnt more about myself and realized that I can rate to certain extents with so many more people than I thought. I’m so excited to start a movement that has the potential to shake the world with the power of speech! Share your support and join the movement and help someone else’s today

Episode 44: There's No Practicum For Life with Kate Fountain
Thursday May 27, 2021
Thursday May 27, 2021
Kate Fountain claims to have always been a person to embrace her true self and this episode proves exactly that. When I first spoke to Kate I was blown away with her tenacity to share her story especially after only being diagnosed with Bipolar just a few weeks ago. The strength and courage she possesses and showcases in this episode is truly remarkable. Kate shares her story with a smile on her face and pride within her voice, never hesitating to be raw and real. She has encountered hardships in her past, such as the separation from her mother due to drug abuse and a battle with depression, but through it all she prevails. I think everyone can gain a tremendous message from Kate's story and I think we should all take a page out of her book some day.

MINDSET MONDAY - Stop Comparing Yourself To Others
Monday May 24, 2021
Monday May 24, 2021
Your struggles are your struggles. Your dreams are your dreams. Your life is YOUR life. We love to get trapped in the comparison game and compare every last inch of our lives to someone else's. It's so important that we escape self-judgement and give every struggle, every success and every day the credit they deserve. No two people are impacted in the exact same way by struggle and no two people will feel the exact sense of pride from their success. Stop aspiring to live someone else's life and start taking pride in your own. Everyone moves through life at different paces and chooses different paths; just embrace it.

MINDSET MONDAY - Be True To Yourself
Monday May 17, 2021
Monday May 17, 2021
Being true to yourself is EVERYTHING. In order to take leaps forward in life and be happy with ourselves we must be truthful. Deep down we all know when we are cheating ourselves, when we can do more, and ultimately when we are selling ourselves short. People lie to themselves every day about their effort at work, how hard they are studying, if they actually love someone, etc. It's sad to state how often we lie and sympathize with ourselves, but there's always action to be taken. Be hard on yourself in all situations and don't allow yourself to cut corners. Face the tough battles and always make sure every action you take is one that honours your self-loyalty. Be true to yourself

Thursday May 13, 2021
Thursday May 13, 2021
Emily Slawski is as authentic and genuine as they come. Throughout her 24 years she has accomplished some incredible achievements, but also faced several battles. She has fought depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder. Emily openly speaks about and advocates each topic because she wants others to find the strength that she has found. Healing from all forms of mental illnesses and struggles are not easy nor linear. She describes her incredible journey to getting where she is now and emphasizes the time it takes. Emily is such a strong and courageous person who continues to help countless people through embracing her vulnerable side. Emily's actions are ones that I hope everyone can one day follow.

MINDSET MONDAY - Leave It All On The Table
Monday May 10, 2021
Monday May 10, 2021
I believe it’s important to leave it all on the table and give everything you have every day. That doesn’t mean running yourself into the ground every day, it just means giving your absolute best every day. Some days your hardest task may be getting out of bed, eating a meal, or taking a shower. Other days it may mean making 20 business calls, running a marathon, or writing a book. Every day what we give our all towards varies, but it’s important that we are constantly doing everything we can so we veer away from regret. Leave it all on the table every day and watch your life change forever.

MINDSET MONDAY - Visualize Your Future
Monday May 03, 2021
Monday May 03, 2021
To visualize is to make something perceptible to the mind or imagination. When you visualize you are physically allowing yourself to dream with a purpose and you can manifest your life to feed that visualization. You have the ability to create the life you want and chase the dreams you desire. Find your dream life, visualize it, and alter your life to chase that vision. Work hard, never lose sight of your vision, and stay humble when it becomes your reality.

Episode 40: Vulnerable and Viral with Skylar Stierwalt
Thursday Apr 29, 2021
Thursday Apr 29, 2021
This week Struggle Creates Strength heads over to Nashville, Tennessee where Skylar Stierwalt shares her incredible story. This is not the first time Skylar is sharing her story and, in fact, she continues using Tik Tok to advocate mental health frequently. In 2019 Skylar made the courageous decision to embrace her past struggles and create a viral video that briefly, but powerfully described her past. The feedback she received from the video blew her away and ultimately kickstarted her mental health advocacy. Today, she shares her story with great pride and is in hopes that everyone can realize their worth and embrace who they truly are.

MINDSET MONDAY - Find Your Pain Cave
Monday Apr 26, 2021
Monday Apr 26, 2021
Find your pain cave. Find the cave of pain that seems ultimately impossible to enter and enter it. When you feel as though you can no longer move forward; move forward. Your mind is incredibly powerful and through pain we grow. Through pain we see that we are capable of far more than we tend to limit ourselves to and through discomfort and execution we grow and exceed all limits we thought we had. Enter your pain cave, attack your pain, and watch yourself flourish into the best version of yourself.
