Lilly Boenker joins us today to bring light to a topic that is often left in the dark, mental health trials. Lilly so vulnerably shares her own experience of life with depression and how her Catholic faith and the saints have carried her through some challenging seasons. This is a beautiful episode that we hope can encourage all who are facing their own mental health trials.
