[Ep. 44] Dealing with my dad's mental illness w/ Mary Michael

This is a difficult but inevitable conversation - how to support your parents as they pass. As an only child, I tear up even thinking about this topic. It was one of the toughest conversation I've had in my life, but my parents and I have discussed how they wish to be treated post life. Mary shares her experience in dealing with her brilliant father's mental illness towards the end of his life, and some of the last parting lessons he gave on how to prepare for death. 0:00 Intro 05:16 Quitting to become a waitress in New York 14:06 My life changed after attending one meeting 21:28 Lessons from dad 22:26 Dad’s mental illness 26:37 How my parents prepared for death 35:15 Parents passing 39:11 Creating my dream career at Meta
