I’m 48 and I love to play guitar and sing although I hardly ever do it. I consider myself a total introvert but everybody thinks I’m an extrovert. My best friend Steve the Dog just died recently and it’s so hard to deal with right now. I make a mean grilled cheese sandwich and teaching kindness is everything to me. I really don’t think I’m cut out for long-term relationships because I get annoyed too easily. I need my space…oof. You can also read more about me and the kindness assemblies I perform nationwide here.

I’m at the ripe age of 27 and have changed my career path about four times since graduating college. I’m always scraping enough together to get by for my monthly bills and I am no stranger to panic attacks and mental breakdowns. Don’t take my high energy or jokes too seriously because they’re typically just a coping mechanism for my overly stressed and exhausted mind and spirit. Some of my hobbies include playing sports, making music, and dancing when I have the time. Craft beer/cocktails are the way to my heart.

I am 28 and I love all things that are creative. I am content with being at home most nights but love going to Disneyland or binge-watching shows with my boyfriend. I have 1 cat named Luna (After Luna Lovegood) and 1 cat you passed away with in April 2020. I’m currently obsessed with sushi, the MCU, and Taylor Swift. I’m a huge overthinker and mildly anxious which can be my greatest enemy at times but I have learned great techniques to ground myself and snap out of it. You can find more of my art here.

What Kind of Positive Feelings do you Typically Experience? (Ex: Happiness, Grateful, Caring...)
I typically experience positive feelings of joy, excitement, and silliness. My job, family, and overall daily interactions with people allow me to feel a variety of positive feelings throughout the day. At work, I am excited to see the progress of the clients that we serve with children with ASD. It is exciting to see the progress of not only the children but also the staff when they learn. I may need to drive to a client or pick up my kids and I get into a mood being silly as I think about my past experiences of working with kids and how being silly and fun was why I enjoyed the work that I do. And when I am home, I have the feeling of joy of what I have accomplished with my wife and kids and the joyful experiences that we share yesterday, that day, and for future experiences.

Have You Ever Experienced Any Mental Health Issues? (Past or Present)
My experience of mental health occurred in my early 20’s in the form of generalized anxiety. I had a great childhood where expectations of success where my choice and my choice only. My parents were wonderful, my mentors were outstanding, and my friends were the best. I created my own destiny and models were around me to help guide. Once I graduated from high school, I attend jr. college. Again, no expectations except for my own. In Jr. College I set expectations, standards, and goals for myself in which I was able to succeed and transfer to UCLA. I was proud of my goal setting and expectations.

However, once I arrived in UCLA, my own thoughts, feelings, and self-doubt began to occur. What if my expectations that I set before were unable to be matched or obtained in more competitive atmosphere? What if I was not good enough to be at this great university? I struggled everyday with the idea “if I belonged” “if I was good enough” “If I was smart enough” “if I could succeed like I did in the past.”

At first these thoughts were present only at school. I did ok at school excelling only in my preferred classes and doing ok in the ones that were tough. These grades and performance validated what my thoughts were that I was not good enough to perform. Soon I began to feel “inadequate” during challenging classes by experiencing bodily sensations of increase heartbeat, sweaty palms, challenging breathing. At first, I was able to handle the sensations but as more as tried to resist the more it persisted. Soon these thoughts and bodily sensations began to occur during family functions, outings with friends, and during social situations. There were times that I felt as if my heart was beating so fast that I thought I was experiencing a heart attack. I would avoid any social settings and remain in my apartment trying to avoid the feelings and sensations. These feelings were very challenging to experience as “it was out of control.” I visited a counselor in school but it was not much help. I soon began to live with this anxiety by continuing to avoid social interactions and limiting my interactions with past friends all with the purpose of “hiding” this “thing” that I had from my friends and family. This “thing” or “anxiety” was a this creature that was with me and did not know when or where it would show up.

I remember this one time I was invited to go out drinking from great friends from work in Hollywood. I drove to the bar and felt great thinking that I could control but all I kept thinking was, “how was I going to hide, any of these nervous feelings if they did occur in the social setting. I arrived and all my friends were there and immediately I felt the anxiety as if I needed to throw up. My heartbeats were very fast and I was speechless. I could not talk, look at someone in the eyes, and could not maintain a conversation. I left after 5 minutes and I sat in my car.

That was the moment in which I learned to stop fighting and resisting and accepting the anxiety. I learned to embrace the feelings and let them occur. I learned to allow my thoughts to pass and breath into the heartbeats and slowly but surely the feelings past. Once I learned to accept the feelings and stop resisting, I began to tell my social groups about my anxiety and no longer hide the this “thing” called anxiety. My friends understood and supported me when episodes would occur. They accepted and I accepted. After about 7 months of communicating to friends during social settings, accepting the feelings and not resisting, and meeting my significant other during this process, I no longer suffered from anxiety and those feelings were no longer present along with those thoughts. I was able to live a life that was fulfilling socially.

There are times here and then that I get that “thing called anxiety” but I let it be, allow it to occur, and let those thoughts pass. I allow for myself be and then I move forward.

What Would You Say Defines You? (this can be anything from life events to hobbies and friends)
What defines me or what I stand for is joy for others. I enjoy to see my friends, family, and others succeed at what they do and become their cheerleader in life. I love to listen to my friends experiences, stories, and life as I can learn and also serve as a compassionate ear. I love my wife as we share many great memories and new experiences with love and laughter. And I see joy in my kids learning from their environment and moving forward to becoming their own individuals.

What Kind of Positive Feelings do you Typically Experience? (Ex: Happiness, Grateful, Caring...)
I’ve learned that self compassion and self love is vital to my overall wellbeing and as such, I give myself permission to acknowledge, allow, and experience all human emotions.

Have You Ever Experienced Any Mental Health Issues? (Past or Present)
When my son was born 7 years ago, it was one of those moments in my life where I experienced extreme joy and pain at the same time. I was filled with so much love and joy meeting my baby boy and being a new mom. I was also filled with so much anxiety and pain as he was diagnosed profoundly deaf as a newborn. This was my catalyst that changed the trajectory of life for me. I had been working as a professional with children with developmental disabilities for many years before I had my son. I had the clinical training and expertise to support his development, but I didn’t have the tools to help myself cope with my anxiety and painful emotions which impacted my overall wellbeing. I turned to what I knew best, the science of psychology and behavior. It was 7 years ago that I committed to learning, studying, and applying Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) strategies for myself. Over the years, I have experienced so many benefits from adopting these strategies in my own daily life that I became inspired to share these same strategies with others. So thankful for my son and that pivotal life trajectory because it allowed me to turn my pain into purpose. A purpose of self discovery, self development, and being of service to help others optimize their well-being and thrive in life.

What Would You Say Defines You? (this can be anything from life events to hobbies and friends)
My values define the kind of person I want to “show up” in this life for myself and for others.

Have You Ever Experienced Any Mental Health Issues? (Past or Present)
Yes. I am a mom to 6 kiddos and suffered severely from postpartum depression and rage. I suffered silently and didn’t know how to help myself. It was a very lonely point in my life, even though there were so many people who loved me. I felt like no one understood and I isolated myself even when everyone tried to be there for me. I don’t even think I knew what I was really facing until I started to come out of it. I never got the medical and professional help I needed and so now I try to educate and advocate for other women. Luckily for me, I eventually came through it on my own..but it doesn’t always end that way and I hope that I am able to help at least one other mom who is suffering by being vocal about my personal experience.

My husband and I have been together since we were 16/17. We just celebrated our 8 year wedding anniversary and 10 years of being together. We have had a very imperfect marriage full of trials and hardships, but we have pushed through each of them and come out on the other side. He was in the army the first 3 years of our marriage, so we started our marriage 16 hours away for our families and then moved quite often. He suffered from addiction due to trying to cope with trauma and we suffered through that for over 2 years. He’s been clean for almost 4 years now and we are finally going after our dreams of selling our belongings and buying a bus and traveling the US with our 6 kids. The NFT space has given us hope for financial stability and freedom and freedoms of time that we haven’t had in a while.

Have You Ever Experienced Any Mental Health Issues? (Past or Present)
(Trigger warning: suicide) I sure have. Depression has been part of my life ever since I can remember. I tried to take my own life. The last time I tried this, I made an attempt 3 times in one night. I felt like such a failure because each way I tried, something didn’t work. After my third attempt that night, I guess I had passed out because I woke up and I was I in bed and my mom was sitting next to my bed watching over me. That was so unexpected because she and I did not have a good relationship. I ended up going to the hospital and I felt so humiliated. I remember sitting in a chair in the hospital hallway waiting for a room across from this lady who had visible wounds from an accident. This lady was crying in pain. When she noticed me, she reached out her hand and tears started to flow for both of us. She asked if I was ok. She told me I was going to be ok. This lady, looking like she had just come from a terrible car accident was asking if I was ok. I felt love from her so strong that night. I will never forget her. I did receive some much needed help, healing and support in the years that followed. I’m so grateful for the tools I have to never experience depression on that level ever since. That lady and so many more people since then remind me that I am worth loving, my life is worth living and my story matters.

What Would You Say Defines You? (this can be anything from life events to hobbies and friends)
I am still figuring out how to out this into words. I’d say love defines me. My love for people who notice my art, who read what I write. My love for my daughter, for my husband and for the dogs we build a home with. My recent discovery of love for myself is part of what defines me.

Have You Ever Experienced Any Mental Health Issues? (Past or Present)
I have a lot of experience with anxiety and depression. I’m so glad that I didn’t give up on myself because you never know where the journey will take you. You never know what joys you will have in the future. From my experience, life can have its moments of being dark and painful. Many of us have dealt with trauma, betrayal, neglect, and abuse. We’ve experienced this from people that were supposed to love and take care of us. It damaged us but we can always love ourselves through it all by coming out of that dark hole to heal. We can claim our power and break the cycle of abuse. We can break the cycle that gave us those mental health problems to begin with. Mental illness is sometimes genetic because it runs in families that the abuse runs in. Everyone is taught from generation to generation and we can break it with our children and be a light and a blessing.

What Kind of Positive Feelings do you Typically Experience? (Ex: Happiness, Grateful, Caring...)
I am always very grateful for my family and friends. Intermittently I do get feeling of self belief.

Have You Ever Experienced Any Mental Health Issues? (Past or Present)
My earliest memory of suffering with mental health issues was when I was around 9 years old. I was always very self-conscious of my body and I would later learn that I have suffered from, and still from, body Dysmorphic disorder (BDD). It literally controls every aspect of my life from what I wear, where I go and what activities I do. I am now 34 and it still has some hold on me which has contributed to a failed marriage, anxiety and missing out on so many things I want to do for me and my children. The crazy thing is is that nobody would ever know. I have been quite a successful sportsman and so people automatically assume I’m quite comfortable with my physique etc but in reality it’s the complete opposite; this expectation, albeit I know really that there probably is no expectation, exacerbates my anxieties and negative thoughts towards my body. My brother died when he was 20 years old, and i often feel guilty that I’ve let BDD stop me from living my life to its fullest when he didn’t have that chance. That kills me inside and is a constant thought of mine. Recently I’ve tried to turn my life around and take out the negative aspects of my life, my marriage being one of them. I feel I am making progress. I have very good job now and my career progression has been quite incredible, but I’m still not happy and job satisfaction is dwindling day on day. So….I turned to the crypto spade where I’ve already met some great people and I truly believe I was meant to find this space to finally allow me to be free, express myself and hopefully one day reach financial and social freedom for my children and I.

What Would You Say Defines You? (this can be anything from life events to hobbies and friends)
I think my brothers death has defined me in some positive and some negative ways. Positively, since his passing I’ve had a real drive and passion to learn as much as I can and be the best I can in everything I do for my family and friends. I am self taught in a lot of random things that I enjoy, the most recent being crypto investments. I am a very loyal friend but choose very carefully who I trust and let into my real life.

Kristina

What Kind of Positive Feelings do you Typically Experience? (Ex: Happiness, Grateful, Caring...)
Gratitude: I've got incredibly gratitude, daily, for my life and the people within it. Love: when my toddler runs through the door yelling "Mommy" after a day of daycare Excitement: for this space of NFTs + web3. I'm excited about the artists, the technology, and the community. Hope: I'm passionate about diversity + inclusion for all people (race, ability, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, neurodiversity, language et. al.). Web2 is built off a system that benefits few (white, cis, straight men) and Web3 gives me hope that we can change that.

Have You Ever Experienced Any Mental Health Issues? (Past or Present)
I've been psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation since the age of 12.In my late teens/early 20s those challenges manifested as OCD, bulimia, and panic attacks, and at the age of 35 I was clinically diagnosed w/ ADHD. I'm incredibly privileged to have been born to parents that sought care for me, despite incredible stigma, and to live in Canada where I've been granted access to a lifetime of government funded resources, like psychiatrists and medication. My mission is to now use that privilege to be a voice and advocate for mental health awareness, in addition to using my small platform to help lift us others and elevate their stories.

What Would You Say Defines You? (this can be anything from life events to hobbies and friends)
Three things:
- My desire to have a larger, social impact and be a part of something bigger
