Getting your emotions OUT instead of keeping them inside is a MAJOR key to leading a happy life mentally.  Your friends and family aren't psychic, and they can't see what's going on inside your mind - don't expect them to mind read - SAY SOMETHING if you see or feel any signs of something off in your brain.  Trust me - better out than in with emotions.

Ronnie Preston uses his knowledge of Native culture and history and performs his one man show around the nation, keeping the stories of his people alive and inspiring the audiences he speaks to.  He also realizes the importance of mental health discussions in our Native communities - and he has become a strong advocate for mental health and suicide prevention as well.  He was also my first ever guest to sing us out at the end of an episode.
