About this listen

Jamie, a former mental health therapist from Oklahoma, offers insights into the criminalization of homelessness in states like Oklahoma and Tennessee. She highlights how these laws exacerbate struggles for the homeless community without offering tangible resources or support. Jamie's story unfolds as she navigates life living in her car while managing the complexities of mental health conditions such as severe depression, PTSD, ADHD, and a chronic illness called POTS. Despite the harsh realities, Jamie's optimism shines through as she sees homelessness as a transitional phase and leans on the support of her family and community.
