Hi, I am reaching out after being inspired by seeing an interview of Angela Lee sharing about her journey with mental health. I really appreciate her shedding light on mental health, being an example for others, and providing tools and insights for others who may be going through something similar. An elder once shared with me that healing yourself is the most unselfish thing in the world that you can do. I believe this is because it causes ripple effects for those around us. So thank you Angela. I have also struggled with mental health, suicidal ideations in my teens and substance abuse in my young adult life. I am now 11 years sober. Martial arts has helped me significantly on my journey (I have won 2 amateur kickboxing fights), along with writing lyrics, making music, therapy and healing ceremonies. I wanted to share a song I made that I thought Angela may resonate with — her being a Warrior in the cage and now a Warrior outside of the cage. And sometimes it takes the most courage to look within and walk the path of healing.

If it resonates, please feel free to share it however you like.
Thank you, peace and blessings,
