Hope * Mental Health & Wellness Recovery * Wellness Recovery Action Plan * Peer Support Welcome friends to Living Table, a safe space to talk about our mental health and wellness. For many years, I longed for a place where I could show up as my authentic self. I lived in silence, feeling invisible. It wasn’t until I risked being vulnerable, that I found a community of peers with similar lived experiences. I believe having safe spaces to talk about our mental health and wellness is essential to recovering our lives. At Living Table you will hear from a community of peers who understand what it is like to live with mental health challenges, and who daily inspire hope that mental health and wellness recovery is possible for everyone. If you are done feeling silenced and invisible, are curious about mental health and wellness recovery, and are ready to be surrounded by love and acceptance wherever you are on your wellness journey, you’re in the right place. So grab your emotional support coffee and listen in. This is your Living Table. Championing You! Amy LEARN -＞ CONNECT -＞ COMMUNITY -＞ www.amymcvay.com

Welcome to Living Table! 🌊
I'm so glad you are here! 🫶
Is sickness a stressor for you, friend?
Something that enters your life and causes feelings of stress?
It definitely is for me.
As someone who lives with Bipolar disorder and cycling moods, it doesn’t take much to throw my mind and body off course.
So myself getting sick or a loved one can be very difficult on my mental and emotional wellness. In the past, I’ve had times where sickness could wipe me out for weeks.Â
When our bodies are sick, the feelings can be similar to depression. Low mood, don’t feel like being around people, aren’t able to do the things we usually enjoy, etc.
For me, this can easily lead to thoughts of despair. Anyone relate?
As I have identified this stressor in my life, I have been able to develop an action plan for when sickness happens that supports my mental & emotional wellness. My hope is that my short, sweet, and practical episode today will give you a shot of hope when you or a loved one is sick.
Listen in.
Your presence matters here. <3
With you,
Amy
