Oh, and let's not forget our 5-minute conversation about "Friends"(the tv show), significant others, and pizza! For real though, this conversation left me in tears(the happy ones) and I cannot wait for you all to listen.

Through personal storytelling, she shines a light on the importance of the healing process and living slowly. Her mission is to cast a net of hope and support to others living with a mental illness.
