The Dear Family, Wellness Graduate School
100 Podcasts Later- 40 Wellness Universal Truths
Three years ago, I was nervous to put myself out so publicly with a brand new mental health podcast about family and secrets. I didn’t know where it would take me or if anyone would listen. Would anyone even care? All I knew was I wanted to cut generational trauma I inherited from family mental illness, I had a story to tell, and I wanted to hear others’ stories. I never could have predicted how a disruptive worldwide pandemic would shine a blaring spotlight on just how important our families’ wellness really is.
100 episodes later, I learned more than I ever could imagine in what I’m calling the Dear Family Wellness Graduate School. The teacher and the mental health advocate in me is so excited to share the knowledge I’ve learned with you. As the Beatles say, “I got by with a little help from my friends,” some old, some new, all amazing guests. Every Generation- from Gen Alpha to Gen Z to Millenials to Gen X to Boomers- shared with generosity. Our enlightened dialogue was sometimes one-on-one like with a dear friend, at other times with dear family between a parent and child, between siblings, or even with three generations of one family.
