What My Daughter's Mental Health Journey Taught Me About Letting Go (Part 1 of 2)

from DOUBLE TAKE: Navigating Life's Second Act

This one is personal. In this episode, Tanya opens up about one of the hardest seasons of her life — walking alongside her daughter through a mental health crisis, and discovering that everything she thought it meant to be a good mom was getting in the way. From uprooting her life and moving to Portland, to sitting outside a coffee shop and finally surrendering the one thing she'd been gripping the hardest — control — this is a story about fear, love, and what it actually looks like to show up for someone you'd do anything for.  This episode discusses eating disorders, suicidal ideation, and self-harm. If you or someone you love needs support, please call or text 988.
