About this listen

The very first episode of this podcast featured a conversation between my mom and I about the nuanced relationship between parents and children when it comes to mental health. Over two years later, we decided to have another conversation and reflect on what has changed. We spent a lot of the episode looking back at this time last year, when I was in the hospital to receive mental health treatment in the midst of a time when everything seemed to be going right in my life. During that season and since, we have both seen firsthand the lack of infrastructure we have to take care of our mental health epidemic, and we spoke about how difficult it can be for a parent to watch their child leave home for college after such a fragile period. This episode was very vulnerable, and I hope you all listen with grace. Sending love as always.
