The Just A Mom Podcast

Kristen shares how her journey as a mom with a son with mental illness is a marathon, not a sprint.

Show Notes

I’m not sure how I hadn’t met Kristen before starting the podcast. My oldest two kids went to the same high school, and we have many mutual friends and acquaintances.  My husband, Dan, is the one who introduced us.  He knew Kristen would be willing to share their family’s story and that it would have a tremendous impact on those who hear it. 

Kristen’s story is one of fear, patience, endurance, love, and hope.  It’s also another example of how the mental health battle is a journey—more of a marathon than a sprint.  Kristin and her husband have gone to great lengths to help their son with his mental illness.  You will no doubt be both impacted and encouraged by their journey.
