Show Notes
Mandy’s son deals with depression and anxiety. Mandy shares some deeply personal parts of their story, including her son’s marijuana addiction, his time at an in-patient psychiatric hospital, wilderness therapy (https://trailscarolina.com/) and ultimately his journey to sobriety through Full Circle (https://fullcircleprogram.com/), all before the age of 15. Mandy also talks about how sometimes conventional parenting wisdom had to take a backseat to what was best for her child on his road to healing, and how she learned not to always try to “fix” her son. Mandy discusses how her journey as a parent led to her founding BVWell (https://fundbv.org/bv-well), which helps parents and families navigate mental health and wellness with their children.
