Oh,
Speaker A:by myself.
Speaker A:Just kidding.
Speaker A:Hi, I'm JJ Herdwell, and I'm the voice behind the new podcast Healing Habits with jj.
Speaker A:In my day to day life, I'm a mother, a grandmother, a wife, and a businesswoman.
Speaker A:Definitely not a singer,
Speaker A:but I'm also a woman who lost myself first in depression and then into a gambling addiction,
Speaker A:and then finally I just disappeared completely into the hell of menopause.
Speaker A:I spent a good portion of four years of my life rotting away in a bed, disappearing from
Speaker A:my own life.
Speaker A:So I know what it's like to cry in the shower,
Speaker A:hurting inside, but still being expected to show up for your family and business.
Speaker A:Through my podcast, Healing Habits with jj, I'm here to try and help women who feel
Speaker A:invisible and alone like I did,
Speaker A:or just stuck in survival mode.
Speaker A:So whether you're suffering through depression or you're burnout on life,
Speaker A:or maybe you're just trying to live through the shame that you feel because you weren't
Speaker A:able to get out of bed today,
Speaker A:this is a place made just for you.
Speaker A:This podcast isn't just about healing myself.
Speaker A:It's about reaching out to women who feel as alone in their struggles as I did.
Speaker A:My healing.
Speaker A:It didn't start in a therapist office or at a
Speaker A:yoga retreat.
Speaker A:It actually started somewhere between rock bottom and my toilet seat.
Speaker A:Yeah, you heard that right.
Speaker A:My toilet seat.
Speaker A:It was there that I decided to fight for myself and I just started to take my life back
Speaker A:one habit at a time.
Speaker A:So what we're going to do is we're going to hype ourselves up on caffeine,
Speaker A:have some honest conversation,
Speaker A:learn a couple habits that help us,
Speaker A:and maybe have a couple good laughs at my expense while I try to figure out how to make
Speaker A:a podcast which is already providing some entertainment for my children.
Speaker A:So join me June 20th to find out why my toilet's so important in me, seeing myself
Speaker A:again and recognizing the woman in the mirror.
Speaker A:If you're impatient like me, you can always visit healinghabitswithj.com thank you.
Speaker A:All by myself,
Speaker A:still recording.
