Ep. 38 – Jenny Randle; Depression, Marriage, & Creativity

Jenny and her husband Matt have both struggled with depression at different times. As a college student, Jenny was depressed, but didn’t exhibit the typical symptoms, so it took a survey at a college mental health fair to realize something wasn’t right. Years later, Jenny and Matt were married, had two babies, and moved cross country for a job. The stress of change, plus some undiagnosed health issues, added a tremendous amount of tension to their marriage. Lifestyle changes, counseling, medication, and better self care continue to help them avoid going to the dark place again. Join Jenny and me at the Brave Together Virtual Retreat from your couch on Saturday 9/9. Listen to Jenny on The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey: Ep. 135 Jenny’s Answers To The Fun Questions:
