On today's episode Dr. Michelle Sherman joins us on the podcast to talk my most favorite tear-jerking topic, parenting when you're mentally ill as well as how to support family members who are mentally ill/being the family member of someone who is mentally ill. 

Michelle (she/her) is a clinical psychologist who has dedicated her 30+ year career to supporting families dealing with a mental illness or history of trauma. She was named the American Psychological Association’s Family Psychologist of the Year in 2022.
