S1 Ep16: Episode 16: Screenwriting the stories you love and mental health with Elan Carson

Come join Lori Moilov and Elan Carson as they deep dive into screenwriting creativity and mental health. Creativity is LIMITLESS!Elan Carson was born and raised in Detroit––the notorious Motor City that’s as famous for its crime as it is its cars.In her younger years, her family lived in poverty, until her parents were able to pull themselves out of the cycle; her dad was finding his way as a computer programmer, her mom as a banker. To the outside world, her family seemed to find success, but what people didn’t see was that her dad struggled mentally. As a result, her mom withdrew, and she became angrier at herself for not being in control–the very definition of depression: anger turned inward.Luckily, her story didn’t end there. After years of treatment, she is now stronger, and so is her writing. She has authored another book, The Millennial Mentality: More than Memes, Cats, and Mishaps and a T.V. pilot, all of her work relaying what it’s like to be Black, live with depression, and figure out adulting. Elan has a few resources to help with mental health.  She recommends two books: The Body Keeps The Score & What Happened to You?  She also wanted to share a YouTube page that has been very helpful to her called the Personal Development School: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHQ4lSaKRap5HyrpitrTOhQShe also recommends Psychology today for incredible at finding a psychiatrist.    And recommends listening to Cleaning up the mental mess a podcast by Caroline Leaf. Connect with Elan Carson :https://www.elanmcarson.comhttps://youtu.be/muEW4v6lBxcSpecial thanks:Host - Lori Moilov @beezeemusic/@easytoluvofficial Guest - Elan Carson @elanmcarsonGraphics - Valerie Moilov @valerieilyse Music - "Frequency" artist BEEZEE (Lori Moilov)https://music.apple.com/us/album/freq...Producer: Jay AnonXmous Solone-Myvett @anonxmousking, Mixer: DuWayne Phinisey @phinisey , Mastering Engineer: Reuben Cohen (Lurssen Mastering) @reuben_cohen1111 @lurssen_masteringEditor - Lori Moilov Podcast "LIMITLESS:"www.higherluv.com/podcast#limitlesspodcast #limitlesscreativity #creativity #artist #mentalhealth #love #selfare #screenwriting #script #beatsheet #logline #storyteller #screenplay #stories #story #creatvies #copywriting #author #tedtalkspeaker
