Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

In Episode 9, we’re talking with Brit’s daughter, Liv, as we kick off a new series we’re calling “Conversations with Kiddos.”

Liv joins us for an open and honest conversation about mental health, emotions, and the importance of talking about how we’re really feeling.

It’s a great reminder that these conversations can start at any age. Talk openly with your kids, friends, and teammates. Ask questions, listen, check in, and create a space where people feel comfortable sharing what’s on their minds.

The more we talk about mental health, the more we can help make these conversations a normal part of everyday life.
