“We’re all equal and we’re all unique…everyone has their own things about them that make them incredibly imperfect. That is, to me, the beauty behind humanity” Lex Morningstar runs an awesome YouTube channel where she shares her experience as an introvert and generally around the human condition.We chat about her experience in setting the channel up many years ago and how this has helped both herself and other people over time. There’s a lot in here about Lex’s own struggles with mental health, adapting to adult life, her ADHD diagnosis and post-partum depression. It’s this type of openness which progress the, slowly moving, tide behind being more open about how we’re feeling and not being afraid to ask for help when we need it. As Lex mentions, it’s often when we face these fears and demons do we truly figure out who we are, what we stand for and become ever more comfortable in our own skin. I love Lex’s mission that she has around helping people feel validated, heard and using her channel as a means to connect with others. As she mentions, for her – giving without expecting to receive anything back is enough in itself – but this can often be juxtaposed against a world which demands tangible outputs and commercial gain. This can often lead to the more ‘less productive’ emotions, like sensitivity, to be overlooked or not taken seriously, without realising how a bit more sensitivity and empathy in the world, especially during current times, could have huge, huge benefits.A big thanks to Lex for her openness and bravery, and for the amazing work she does on her channel – go check it out if you have an interest in any of the above (link below)!Join the Connections Untold community:InstagramFacebookUseful information: Lex’s YouTube channelMyers-Briggs test (this is just a link to one of many tests you can find online...give it a go just for a bit of fun if anything!)Other episodes you may be interested in:#4 Marion Hart: Our negative experiences don't define us#8 Gemma Boxall: Overcoming my friend’s murder#9 Paul Ledger: Building a better relationship with our emotions#11 Conor Stone: Looking after your mental health#12 Grace Marshall: We’re all growing and learning together
