On our very first episode, join the wise-beyond-their-years teens at UPLIFT, Alex Andrews and Megan Buncher, as they open up and share their mental health journeys. As Alex so eloquently says in the episode, she grew up struggling with mental health and wished that there was something out there that she could be like, “Hey, I’m not the only one going through this, there’s other people going through this. Let’s hear somebody else say, I hear you, I see you, we’re doing this together. So that it’s not just me.” Let’s demystify and destigmatize mental health, explore self-love which is THE staple in anyone’s journey to whole wellness, and talk about all the things from self-care to social anxiety, authenticity, feeling your feelings, how to help a friend who is struggling, social media and more. Megan Buncher is one of our 200 hour certified teen teachers at UPLIFT and can be found on our YouTube channel teaching our essential OWN IT meditation.

“I actually learned recently in psychology that there is so much benefit from sharing wisdom because you learn a lot from it yourself and that helps you learn and grow.” - Megan Buncher
It’s true. Sharing our stories helps us in so many ways. Join Megan and Alex as they dive into Part 2 of the episode. Here they share more about their life stories and how they began their mental health journeys. Alex talks about her experience growing up as a gymnast, where being tough was a way of life and led to her becoming “CEO of ignoring my emotions.” Megan shares about her childhood in dancing and acting, where she learned that there was “never a good enough version of me.” Both Alex and Megan inspire each other and the audience as they bravely go into the nooks and crannies that are often left untouched and unfortunately, not discussed. You can hear their voices become light and free as they tell their mental health stories and become liberated from them. They also share their mental health toolboxes and what has really worked for them. You are bound to pick up some helpful tidbits from this episode and feel inspired along the way.
Feeling your feelings.Alex’s chronic pain and the inextricable link between mind and body.Radical acceptance and learning to love themselves, rather than trying to FIX themselves.The importance of honoring your inner child, and how to do it.Imposter syndrome in sharing our mental health stories.Listening to their bodies and intuition, and doing what feels right to them.EMOTIONAL TOOLKITSTaking care of emotions rather than controlling them.JOY + HAPPINESS + GRATITUDEConstantly changing and evolving.How being perfectly imperfect feels. so. good.Self-Care and Authenticity
