She turned tragedy into an opportunity to openly discuss mental health with her own child.
Camisha Broussard, a mom of four, English college professor, and author of Daddy Issues, A Memoir, is on the show today.
In this episode, she shares how she met her current husband, the love of her life, late in life. She discusses what pulls her to write, what gets her to keep coming back, and how writing has enabled her and her son to have an open discussion about his depression and thoughts on suicide.
Camisha also offers inspiration on how to keep writing despite fear of judgment from others or yourself.
⚠️ Warning: This episode discusses depression and suicide. ⚠️
