Season 1, Episode 14: Let's Talk Mental Health, the series finale...with Mikael, Katelyn, Amaya, Alana and cameos by Isaiah!

As we end our six week series on Mental Health, this Yeah...But Are You Listening??? conversation hit closest to home. In a two-hour season finale, I talk to my own babies about their mental health struggles...some I knew about, others I learned while in this space. I asked for transparency with the promise that I would not push or interrogate and with reassurance that I would still love them when the conversation was over lol. I went into this episode not sure what to expect and what I got was the most authentic, transparent conversation we've ever had as a family. There were tears, and MORE tears but there was also laughter and more laughter. I have a newfound respect for each of them and in the days that have passed since recording, we have continued the conversations. We are closer now than before and I wasn't sure that was even possible.  

I encourage you to listen with a open heart. While our journeys may not be identical, everyone has a journey. Listen with your kids and then allow what you hear to spark conversations in your own home. This series has wonderful, with amazing stories and resources. The finale is the perfect ending...enjoy.
