Society hands each of us a figurative manual for "social success": go to school, get married, get a house and a dog, have kids, etc....What do you do when that doesn't feel right for you but you're DESPERATE to fit in?

She tried everything that "manual" offered and found herself married to a man who didn't treat her right but she was FINALLY being celebrated by her loved ones.Let's go behind her picket fence to see how Carling finally found "enough-ness" within herself!Connect With Carlinghttps://linktr.ee/IdidnotsignupforthisListen to Chelsea's Episode HereConnect With Chelsea BeaInstagram @BeyondWithChelseaEmail: [email protected]: https://www.facebook.com/chelsea.hansen.330Join the BTPF Facebook Communityhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/beyondthepicketfenceTune into "Dear God, I'm Sad"

In Episode 33 of Beyond the Picket Fence, Sandtrice Russell LPC, CPCS aka "Tree the LPC" shares her journey from a troubled youth to a professional counselor.This Episode is probably one of my very favorite's. We dig into a trauma filled childhood, troubled juvenile years, a beautifully vulnerable self discovery, a surprise love story, and more. You may be surprised to hear that even therapists need therapists. This is yet, more proof that no one has it "all together" and that's ok!We also discuss the importance of kindness!! It's simple really, love God and love God's people. Sandtrice is making a big dent in the mental health stigma and I'm so grateful she came on the show.

Society creates pressure. We often talk to women on this show but today we get the man's point of view.Robert Pearson is the husband of a woman we interviewed last year. He asked to come on the show because he's ready to let himself be vulnerable and to share his own story.In this episode we discuss in depth the trauma that comes from the "Be a Man" ideology. Robert grew up pretending everything was ok when in reality he lived in a home where you had to walk on eggshells around his father. As an adult he struggles with wanting to not become his father yet still learn to take care of himself and his family.Connect with Robert HereFacebookInstagramListen to his wife's story hereRobert was really excited and nervous to do this!!

In this season 2 premiere of Beyond the Picket Fence, Dr. Heather Browne shares her story of growing up with a mother who suffered from paranoia schizophrenia and being widowed by a man who passed away from a heart attack. She learned the hard way that grief is different for everyone. She reflects on how her own experience has shaped her outlook on life, and how it has helped her to understand and empathize with those who are struggling with grief in their own lives. She also provides advice to those who are dealing with loss, and encourages them to take the time to process their emotions in whatever way is best for them.Another story from Beyond the Picket Fence that proves, no one has a perfect life!
