Kimberly Olson:
Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Goal Digger Girl. My name is Kimberly Olson, your hostess, and I have special guest, one of my business besties, and really personal friend bestie, too, Aleshia Wisch on today. Thank you so much for being on, girlfriend!

Aleshia Wisch:
Ahh, thank you! I'm so excited!

Kimberly Olson:
I'm so excited. I know you all can't see us, but we look really cute. 'Cause we're both wearing gray shirts that say goals and we're - we have pink behind us and we're twinning. Totally. And we are excited to share this content with you because it's not talked about enough. And right now at the time of this recording, we're still in quarantine. So if you're listening to the replay, we might be hopefully past that, but we're in the midst of it right now. And Aleshia and I share a lot in common when it comes to our passion for mental health and we've had similar struggles.

Kimberly Olson:
So we're going to have a great conversation today to give you some hope, give you some inspiration and hopefully some nuggets of wisdom to help you in this season of life, whether you're home or just going through a rough patch. So to start, Aleshia, since some of them, I know a lot of them know you because we're so connected on social media, but for those that are new and maybe have never heard of you, can you share about yourself, who you are and what you do?

Aleshia Wisch:
Absolutely. So first and foremost, I am a mom to three amazing boys, two teenagers, a 15 year old, a 14 year old and an almost 9 year old.

Kimberly Olson:
Bless your heart!

Aleshia Wisch:
So much fun. And married with my, I've been with my husband for It has been for 16 years. And, we actually, we're serial entrepreneurs. Well, I'm the serial entrepreneur. He has a cleaning company that I help him with. And then I have multiple businesses that I do, but a huge passion of mine is really helping those who, you know, they battle anxiety, depression, mental health, as we've talked about. Because I did battle for so long, I battled over 20 years with my own issues and I learned different ways to get past it. And I think when it comes to mental health, it's the part where like, once you get through it and you're on the other side of it, you don't want anybody to go through those things that you went through. So it's like, I had this huge drive to help others where, you know, they don't know what resources that there are. They don't know what direction to go. They feel alone.

Aleshia Wisch:
And I don't want people feeling like that. I want them to know that there are ways to get the resources and find their people. It's very, very important to me because like you mentioned, I mean mental health, a lot of people think of it as a taboo subject, but if you really think about it, like all of us have our issues and everybody has a thing.
