Welcome to the final Mental Health Check In podcast. This episode begins with a special message from Joe Anthony Myrick explaining what led up to the decision to close up shop and expressing gratitude for all the time y'all spent with this show.

Joe chats with FIre Up Your Brain founder Trent McEntire about purposefully navigating your life. Trent shares his process of getting to know himself through his life, how losing his father as a child affects him today and what it meant for him to learn at 19 that he has cerebral palsy his whole life. These events helped him to understand himself and to become somebody who helps others get a holistic grip on themselves.

This was the penultimate episode of Mental Health Check-In. There will be one final episode with a sendoff message from JAM to all of you listeners out there for taking part in this project.

This week, JAM talks with Tanya Cole-Lesnick, a therapist who does both individual and group sessions and who pioneered “The One Agreement,” a shorthand she uses with patients to help them live more wholly. She speaks to the differences between different kinds of session and why she approaches each the way she does as well as why she chooses to approach either at all.

The decision has been made to end the Mental Health Check-In Podcast within the next couple of episodes. We want to think all our listeners for healing with us. There will be two more episodes before we will make our final, formal goodbyes. Thank you.
