Lights on with the Wilson’s

A Temporary Goodbye

As sad as it is to say we need to take a break from the podcast. Not only are things getting hectic in our lives but also with work. We will be moving our studio to a better location, and with the holidays coming up there will be a shift that Hannah and Kristoff need to address. 
We thank all of our listeners for your loyalty and we will be back in full force. 
Until next time. 

Politics?

With the upcoming election we thought it would be a good idea to talk about politics. At the end of the day it doesn't matter who you vote for. We believe that you just need to be kind with what you say and what's going on around you. There is so much division in our world these days, that we don't need anymore division. Be kind and compassionate to others.

Kristoff's interview

In today's episode, Hannah interviews Kristoff on his mental health background and the times in his life where he noticed it was at its worst. We touch on his family and and influences that he thinks had the biggest part in his mental health decline. Along with being in the ARMY and other occasions that lead to drinking heavily and his insomnia that he experienced. Today, he's doing way better, but for either Hannah or Kristoff, each day is a struggle and a conscious effort of doing better and not falling into old habits. 

Hannahs Interview about her Dad

We never seem to realize the impact that our childhood has on our lives today. On this episode we dive into Hannahs childhood and her relationship with her Dad. Things get emotional and we discuss some very difficult topics for Hannah and become vulnerable.

Comparing Ourselves

Why do we compare ourselves? Who do we compare ourselves to? 
We need to remember that we are all individuals with individual problems and we can't always judge situations by what we see. Kristoff and Hannah talk about the mental toll that it takes on us and why we shouldn't compare our situations to anyone else's.

Focus on Yourself

We have all experienced getting sucked into others problems. Most of us truly want to help, but sometimes their problems start to become your own. It's alright to be helpful but when it starts to affect your mental health is when it's time to focus on yourself. 
It's okay to be selfish and to not let others consume your mental health. We give some examples of this and what we have done to separate ourselves from others issues. 
As always don't forget to share this podcast with someone you know would benefit from it. And don't forget to give us a follow on the socials.

Holiday Stressers

On this episode we cover the issues that the holidays bring mentally and emotionally to drive us insane. Prioritizing your own mental health around the holidays should be your top priority. Lots of dynamics come in to play around this season; make sure that you are able to enjoy them without ruining your own happiness along the way. 
We also touch on Suicide Prevention Month and some of the tools to help you or someone you know to get help. We can't do this alone, it takes everybody to get the word out and break the social norm that talking about suicide is taboo. The suicide help line is 988. You can call or text at any time, day out night if you need help or know someone that does.

Fear of Criticism

Fear of being criticized can slow you life down to a crawl. And we believe that is a learned behavior from childhood. It can come from your parents or guardian, or from being bullied in school. Whatever the source its good to not let it consume you. 
Not all criticism is bad if you know how to accept it for what it is and not let it consume your whole life.
