Have you ever played the part someone handed you, and forgotten who you were underneath it?

For me, this one hit close to home. Ellen Lubensky is an attorney, a mental health advocate, and the founder of the Mental Health Choice Project. In this conversation she gets honest about playing the role everyone expected, learning that "no" is a complete sentence, what it's like to feel "perfect in every way" on the outside, and her own path with mental health care and medication. It's raw, it's real, and I'm really glad she trusted us with it.

⚠️ This episode contains topics that may be sensitive for some listeners. Ellen shares her own story and opinions. No medical advice is given here, so please don't stop or change any medication without talking to your doctor first.

💛 If you're struggling, you're not alone. In the U.S., call or text 988 to talk with someone.
