Back for a second time on The Just A Mom Podcast is entrepreneur, author, speaker, and filmmaker Jason Reid. Don’t miss this deeply personal conversation about grief, depression, and the power of creative purpose. Jason shares how the loss of his son Ryan to suicide changed his life, why he now focuses on helping parents and kids talk more honestly about mental health, and how his latest film, Shift, is designed to spark those conversations in schools and communities. We also discuss what self-care really looks like beyond the usual advice, why adults need creative outlets just as much as kids, and what Jason learned after discovering he may have been living with a form of depression himself.
What is The Just A Mom Podcast?
My name is Susie. I have three children, the youngest of whom struggles with depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. I never thought this could happen to me, and I missed the signs. Being a parent is really hard, and I'm here to help! I'm talking to parents and experts to help you with the issues your kids may face. I want you to know that you are not alone and there is hope.
