  • Summary

  • If you ever feel at a loss for how to support your partner, friend, or family member who struggles with mental illness, this special episode is for you. My brother-in-law Logan has been a loving and sturdy support for my older sister Sarah through decades of mental health challenges. Over their 20 years of marriage, he has learned a lot about how best to support someone who is struggling, and he's joining me in this episode to share those insights with us, including: - What to do when frustration creeps in and it feels like your loved one isn’t “trying hard enough.” - How to give yourself permission to feel joy, even when your loved one is feeling down. - A mantra to lean on when everything feels heavy and hope is running low. For full show notes, including takeaways, click here. Be sure to also listen to the episodes with my beloved sister Sarah, where we discuss depression in motherhood and how to get help with mental illness. If you’re caring for someone battling mental illness, I want to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for being there and for giving of your compassion and love. Please remember to take care of yourself too. You deserve support and help through this, too.
