I ended up writing the mom out of the book by just saying that she worked all the time.
What if your toughest battles could become the foundation for helping others? Jaclyn Brown, host of 'Mental Health and Us', joins Danny Brown on 'Podcaster Stories' to share her incredible journey. Jaclyn's life has been a tapestry of challenges, including a 20-year struggle with depression and anxiety, and surviving an abusive childhood.
These experiences have not only shaped her but also inspired her to create a podcast that offers practical self-care and wellness tips for those dealing with mental health issues and their loved ones. In this episode, Jaclyn opens up about how her podcast was born from her personal battles with mental illness. She talks about the difficulties she faced as a solo podcaster and why she finds writing easier than speaking.
You'll hear about her choice to focus on anxiety, how depression intertwines with it, and how mental illness evolves over time. Jaclyn also discusses the unexpected benefits of the pandemic lockdown on her social anxiety and the unique challenges of parenting a child with anxiety during such times. Jaclyn's story isn't just about struggles; it's also about resilience and hope.
She shares how her abusive childhood influenced her writing, particularly her Young Adult books, and how she's determined to give her kids a different experience. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of mental health, parenting, and the power of turning personal pain into a source of strength for others. Tune in to 'Podcaster Stories' to hear Jaclyn's full interview and gain valuable insights into the importance of mental health self-care.
