In this episode, we sit down with Valerie Lin, co-founder of the Mentors Collective, to explore her inspiring journey from a dark period in her life to becoming a guiding light for others. Valerie opens up about how a personal development book sparked her path to recovery, and we discuss the often-overlooked role of informal mentors who guide us without us even realizing it. Valerie’s candidness reveals the challenges and triumphs women face in seeking mentorship outside of traditional environments.We dive deep into the importance of building meaningful connections through shared experiences. Reflecting on personal anecdotes, we explore the concept of Galentine's and how celebrating self-love has fostered communities of powerful, diverse women. My journey from skepticism to embracing the warmth of female-centric spaces underscores the impact these connections can have. We also discuss how launching a podcast during the pandemic led to deep, lasting friendships, proving that persistence and openness can turn isolation into opportunity.Finally, we cover the critical intersection of inner work and external support in achieving personal and professional growth.Emergency Helplines Emergency: 988 NAMI Helpline: 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) - www.nami.org/help National Crisis Text Line: Text HELLO to 741741 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 or 988 - www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233 - www.thehotline.org SAMHSA Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357) - www.samhsa.gov LGBT Trevor Project Lifeline: 1-866-488-7386 - www.thetrevorproject.org Veterans Crisis Line: 1-800-273-TALK (8255) - www.veteranscrisisline.net Ayuda en Español: 1-888-628-9454 - www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/es National Deaf Therapy: www.nationaldeaftherapy.com BIPOC Therapist Finder: www.therapyforblackgirls.com www.therapyforlatinx.com www.asianmhc.org www.nqttcn.com ...
