For this week’s Mental Health Matters, Carley and Sarah spoke with NYT Bestselling writer Christie O. Tate. Christie is well known for her profound and moving words, as well as a "startling" hopefulness and honesty. We were so fortunate to experience that on the pod, as she talked with us about shame and confidence, isolation and relationships, our self-image and public personas, and the impact of being truly heard by someone.

For all that Christie has to offer, please follow @christieotate or visit christietate.com for info on upcoming writing workshops or to get your hands on her books!
