Hearing their stories and what worked towards recovery , as well as what they each do daily to maintain their recovery is great information. I also liked the mindfulness activity at the end of each podcast including adapting activity for walking or driving.

It has been four years since I tuned into the Mental Health: Hope and Recovery Podcast.
I was immediately struck by Valerie and Helen's shared vulnerability and intellegence. They were ahead of their time in their willingness to share their experiences. I've learned so much and have shared their podcast many times!

I have been listening to Mental Health: Hope and Recovery over the last couple of years and have been truly encouraged. Being a person in long term recovery I have been especially inspired by their testimonies and stories of how they have overcome barries and thrive. One of my favorites is Grit and determination and how it enables our recovery. I always look forward to the meditations ant the end of the episodes. A must listen to all that want to learn, grow and witness that we can all recover and so an our loved ones!

I cannot say enough good things about Valerie Milburn and Helen Sneed's podcast Mental Health: Hope and Recovery. Both women have managed to put together presentations each month that are both informative and heart-warming. I have been a psychotherapist for over 35 years and I continue to learn something new from their podcasts. I have also referred many of my clients to listen to a particular interview that I think will aid in their recovery.
Another thing I love about their Hope and Recovery podcasts is their emphasis on hope, and the concrete steps that listeners can take in their own healing. The listener gets to hear from 2 women who have worked diligently on their own recovery and continue to do so. The both absolutely "walk the talk". I've also been impressed with the quality of their guest speakers. It is evident that both women have put a lot of time and thought into their topics and choice of speakers.
I feel very fortunate to have happened upon the Mental Health: Hope and Recovery Podcasts. It has enriched my life both personally and professionally. I believe that they have done much to assist many, many others in their own lives as well.

Valerie and Helen's podcasts expand my understanding of the challenges, suffering, and help available for, and hope needed by persons with mental illness. Their personal journeys, courage, dedication to helping others, and their polished, but very personal presentation connections effectively with so many people. Thank you, Valerie and Helen!
