VIDEO! Getting in Bed with Kristin #4: Mental Health with Special Guest Riese Bernard!

IT IS STILL TECHNICALLY MONDAY ON THE WEST COAST…

Sorry for the delay on this, you A+ dreamboats!

Riese is visiting me in Los Angeles and I spent so much time staring into her beautiful angelic face in wonder today that I totally forgot to do my job and get you this video! In this episode of Getting in Bed with Kristin, aforementioned angel Riese Bernard joins me in talking about mental health and self-care! Plus my wife and yours (just kidding she is just my wife) Jenny Owen Youngs plays the theme to Getting in Bed with Kristin live. It is QUITE A TIME.

I will be back with another live episode NEXT week, Thursday, February 16th! Woohoo!

  2. Thanks for talking about chronic pain Riese <3 I still find it a struggle to accept that my body does not feel like the body of a young person but instead wants to hurt me all the time, but I am gonna try to keep it in my mind to listen to my body! I can do this!

    I wanna say the making the bed thing is SO IMPORTANT. My friends think it's weird that I make the bed even in a hotel room (ok not brilliantly like they do but I at least pull the covers back up and make it fairly tidy) but it's because it has become something I HAVE to do and I know that if I feel incapable to make the bed in the morning it's a warning that things are Not Good and I need to reach out for help. I recommend that to everyone even though it sound like a tiny thing :)

    PS you guys all look so cute in this video!! <3

  4. I caught the end of this and enjoyed it so much! Definitely necessary this year but also always.

  5. I have recently been diagnosed with a chronic disease so I really appreciate Riese’s take on living with chronic pain
    Thanks Riese!

  7. Watching this video last week was the final push I needed to finally make a therapy appointment for myself – my first one in 4 years. Thank you so much for the encouragement and support <3

  8. Shouldn’t therapy have an end point though??

    Isn’t the idea that there is a goal and one day you leave therapy having achieved it
