#795 Taking Off The Mask - A Best Of Ep w/Laurenne Sala
Mental Illness Happy Hour
Processing Dad's Attempts And Emotional Numbness
Paul and Laurenne reflect on family silence after suicide attempts and using humor and writing to cope.
A Best Of ep originally aired in 2014. What happens when the Homecoming Queen takes off her popularity mask and deals with the pain of her co-dependent mom and the suicide of her gay father? The critically acclaimed author is one of the most compassionate and truth-seeking guests we’ve ever had.
