Episode Synopsis

TW: Mentions of depression and self-harm thoughtsThis episode is a heavy one. I sit down with an old friend of mine, Jen Tan, who experienced family troubles at a young age and up until her college years. After having enough, Jen took life into her own hands and went on a healing journey to help her understand the words, “I am enough”. In addition, Randy and Jen bond over a similar therapy technique they used to overcome the harshest automatic thoughts that caused their depression. There’s a lot of healing in this episode and if that’s what you need, make sure to tune in!Chapters:0:00 – Episode Highlight0:21 – Guest Intro1:22 – Guest Mental Health Status3:30 – Featured Funko Pop6:17 – First Signs of Depression9:18 – Development of Family Trauma15:19 – Getting Kicked Out18:17 – Becoming a Mom Early28:31 – Ways to Heal #1: Therapy36:35 – Ways to Heal #2: Listening to Your Body39:15 – Ways to Heal #3: Finding Community42:26 – Ways to Heal #4: Doing Uncomfortable Things45:19 – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - Automatic Thoughts1:00:33 – Randy’s Story1:03:37 – Not Feeling Good Enough1:07:12 – Fear of Failure1:15:39 – Final Thoughts on Journey1:18:56 – Flowers to Guest1:19:56 – Song Association1:23:27 – Big 3 QuestionsJen’s Socials: IG - @Jentan0428YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@jentannnTik Tok - @jentannHighest Version Social: https://linkin.bio/highestversion
