Protect Your Peace with Paris Prynkiewicz and Kiah Dixon
Episode 44!
A little bit different than the regular way this show flows.
No Shout Out, no longer interview. Two awesome women talking to me about Mental Health and their own journeys.
The first chat is with Kiah Dixon. Kiah and I have been friends since we were in 6th grade. She's pretty damn incredible and is so knowledgeable. She takes me to task for being blind in high school! It's a great moment. You can follow Kiah (if she'll let you, she's on private) at her Instagram.
The 2nd chat is with Paris Prynkiewicz. You'll recognize her from the Crooked Illness podcast, on which I appeared earlier this year. I put it out a special episode a few months back. We had a good chat. Her story is super interesting. Follow her and her podcast at her Instagram.
