Alongside a clip about mental health from an episode of The Real, Jeannie, 40, wrote about the lessons she learned from undergoing therapy.

Jeannie continued to speak about having perspective. "Perspective over your past, perspective over your trauma, perspective over your Purpose. Instead of looking at your pain as a daily struggle, look at each morning you wake as an invitation to discover YOU," she said.
