Join Lemon's Listening Library for a compelling episode as host Lemon sits down with Jessica Hicks AKA Jessica Mashburn. The discussion takes you through Jessica's journey from her upbringing in central Arkansas, her transition away from strict Pentecostal beliefs, and her resilience in facing personal traumas. She emphasizes the vital role of mental health counseling and her advocacy work. Trigger warnings include sensitive topics such as sexual assault, domestic violence, self-harm, and suicide attempts. Additionally, Jessica shares her experiences as an author, her works on Kindle Vella and Amazon, and her current project 'Dreams from Cassandra.' Her stories reflect her life, her love for the Oxford comma, and her passion for art and advocacy for mental health and the LGBTQI community in Arkansas. It’s an episode rich with engaging anecdotes, literary inspiration from Agatha Christie to Octavia Butler, and a powerful message of finding strength and expression through adversity.
