This is a meaningful and wise conversation that opened my eyes in more ways than one. It made me re-think some of the ways the self-help movement has marginalized those who are looking to thrive while living with a mental illness and helped me feel more empowered around what inclusive self-development includes.

Arien Smith is thriving while living with mental illness. He is also a Life Coach and host of an incredibly inspiring online TV show – Arien Inspires (aptly named!!) – where he talks through practical ways that people can thrive while living with mental illness.
This episode, among other things, includes:
- How simply trusting yourself to get through things (even when they’re not easy) empowers you
- How many self-help messages inadvertently marginalize those living with a mental illness
- Aliveness and the power of feeling, rather than closing off emotions
- How happiness isn’t always a choice
- Why feeling broken is nothing to be ashamed of
- How you can be completely afraid and courageous at the same time
- How your pain can shape you in a positive way
- How self-discovery and spirituality can go hand-in-hand
- How you can have wellness and a mental illness at the same time
- How not loving yourself doesn’t make you unloveable
And SO much more! This is jammed full of ah-ha’s and insights.
