Description

Today our guest is Keila Dolle, an actress, filmmaker, and comedian who hosts the “Crying Behind Sunglasses” podcast, which I was recently a guest on. After hearing a little bit about her story and her background, I learned about her advocacy for mental health and wanted to have her on the podcast to discuss it.   Keila grew up with a younger brother who was autistic, and seeing the challenges that he experienced growing up neurodivergent led her to firmly believe that everybody deserves to be seen and be recognized. Additionally, Keila is very open about her own anxiety and experiences with panic attacks. These two factors influenced her to become a mental health advocate and help others realize they are not alone.   In this episode, Keila shares about her volunteer work, which started doing at a young age and continued to where she is now. She also shares what her advocacy looks like in practice, and where she's planning to take the rest of her life.   I hope this episode helps you better understand what it's like to experience anxiety and panic attacks, as well as what it takes to show up and give back to the world by advocating for what matters to you.  Find Keila here:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keiladolle/    Listen to the “Crying Behind Sunglasses” podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crying-behind-sunglasses-with-keila-dolle/id1517523921    Listen to Nick and Keila on the “Crying Behind Sunglasses” podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/staying-sane-after-love-is-blind-with-nick-thompson/id1517523921?i=1000615329989    Website: https://keiladolle.com  Find Nick Thompson here:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nthompson513/    Website: https://www.engagewithnick.com/    UCAN Foundation: https://www.ucanfoundation.org/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EngageWithNick  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickthompson13/

Are you going through life blind? This is Eyes Wide Open with Nick Thompson. On this show, we share knowledge and stories that build human connection while elevating stigmatized societal issues, including mental health, holistic wellness, culture, free speech, and more, all to ensure we show up in the world with our Eyes Wide Open. You may know Nick Thompson from his appearance on season two of Netflix’s hit reality show Love is Blind, but there’s a side of him you may not know: The Storyteller. Nick firmly believes that everyone has a story to tell, and is building a forum for people to share theirs openly and honestly. Nick doesn’t shy away from the hardball questions but facilitates a space where even people who disagree are comfortable sharing and learning from each other. Don't go through life blind.
