In another in-studio episode, Kerri Fitzgerald talks with Leigh Marino, founder of Encourage Thought, who talks about her mental health journey. Leigh talks about the childhood grief she experienced, which resurfaced when she developed a panic disorder. Leigh ultimately sought inpatient treatment for her mental health and used her experiences to help others deal with pain, grief, and other difficult emotions through her Encourage Thought platform.

Throughout this we highlight:

• How Leigh Marino found solace in group therapy.

• Learn about Leigh's children’s book “To Be a Christmas Tree,” which seeks to help children (and adults!) deal with difficult emotions.

• How Leigh created Encourage Thought, a platform that allows her to share her mental health journey and inspire others who are dealing with similar or other challenges.

• Be inspired by Leigh’s outlook on what she went through and how she always kept a “pilot light of hope” during the tough times.
