I’m not even sure what to say. First off, go join irrationaloptimists.io and meet the people there. Secondly, since this episode was recorded, Karlee has become a close friend of mine and we’ve continued our conversations over the phone. With each and every call I have with her, we dive deeper into our mental health state, which is EXACTLY what we all could use. Someone to relate with and talk to about the hardest topics. It’s hard and takes a while for it to get easier, but I've been feeling unstoppable with a group like these 3 by my side. Karlee has spent her time on this Earth battling with her own mind. I wanted to get her on the show because she’s had such a crazy experience with her own mind, and our buddy Tommy has been going through some similar experiences. In a time where we are so connected, we STILL feel like we can’t talk about these tough issues. Thank you so much, Karlee for sharing your heart and soul on this podcast to help others. Using your experience to shed some light on the world is what we need out of our guests and you did just that.
