Season two begins without promises of perfection — only honesty.

After a difficult stretch navigating her own mental health, Jamie returns to I Am Hope in the Chaos to talk openly about what it really looks like to live with serious mental illness in real time. Not the polished version. Not the highlight reel. The lived experience.

In this episode, Jamie explores the pressure to “reset,” the exhaustion of showing up while your nervous system is in survival mode, and why hanging on — even quietly — is work that deserves recognition. She talks about the in-between seasons, when things aren’t falling apart anymore but still don’t feel okay, and why that stage can feel harder than the crisis itself.

This episode isn’t about fixing anything.

It’s about naming what so many people feel but struggle to explain.

It’s about staying — even when the chaos hasn’t ended.

If you’ve ever felt behind, disconnected, or unsure why things feel harder even when you’re trying… this conversation is for you.

Because the chaos didn’t end — but neither did we.

And as always, remember: there is hope in the chaos.
