Ditching the Expected & Embracing Your True Self with Christy Roushey

Artist and mom Christy Roushey joins host Emily Hessney Lynch for a conversation about leaving her engineering career to be a stay-at-home mom and how much it rocked her identity to deviate from the prescribed path. Learn about how she moved through those feelings of being lost and isolated to teach herself new skills, embrace her true self, and launch her own business. We also discuss how to be a good friend, being the memory keeper in your family, how important it is to have mental health support when you're a parent, talking to your kids about race and sexuality, and more.
