Watching Mental Health

TJ Bozarth lives in Austin, TX with a Film Degree from UNLV. As an advocate for non-traditional relationships, he is creating a radio theatre musical about choosing to forgo having children in modern America. This lifestyle can be viewed as selfish to some while liberating to others, but it is inherently a personal choice. In a world where societal expectations can put a lot of pressure on someone, TJ' s musical hopes to give a voice to the psychological hardships of the often-overlooked childless minority.
