It's human to be lonely, yet there is shame in it. We are "supposed" to seek out the company of other humans. I want to address the real feelings of isolation and loneliness without shame or guilt. If you are lonely out there, I salute you.

We haven't gotten a corporate sponsor...yet. In this episode, we speculate on who could potentially give us money. Some options include prescription drug companies, Lindsay Lohan (also welcome to be a guest), Purell, Angry Orchard Cider, and not Wellbutrin.

I spent most of my 20’s focusing on church activities and doing things I loved to do: helping people think better about Jesus, the Bible, faith, and church.

I’ve been featured on HuffPost live to talk about living with a mental illness and spoke in 2014 and 2015 at the Shattering Stigma conference.
