Ep. 13 What does it really cost to pretend you’re okay?

In this episode of Live Like it Matters, Elissa Kalver speaks with Mitch Wallis, mental health advocate and founder of Heart On My Sleeve, about the breaking point that changed the trajectory of his life.

From corporate success to a very public battle with depression, Mitch shares what it took to stop performing strength and start telling the truth.

This is a conversation about stigma, silence, and the courage it takes to speak when everything in you wants to hide.

Where storytelling meets spontaneity. No script. No rules. Just raw, honest, and often ridiculous conversations about life, loss, healing, and hope. These are the messy, magical moments that make life worth showing up for, even when it’s hard. Elissa sits down with friends, specialists, fellow cancer thrivers, and sometimes whoever happens to wander in on recording day. With no script, expect raw laughter, real tears, and unexpectedly deep conversations. Every episode is a reminder that authenticity is messy, beautiful, and worth sharing. And remember to Live Like It Matters
