Lauren Henry Brehm joined the podcast to discuss her book The French Court: Essays from One Family's Legacy of Mental Illness and her journey through mental health, family trauma, and personal transformation.

  • Opened up about her grandmother’s undiagnosed OCD and its generational impact
  • Shared her own suicide attempt and living with Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • Reflected on her divorce after 29 years of marriage
  • Described her experience in the psychiatric ER and ongoing therapy
  • Discussed psychiatric medications: Cymbalta, Buspar, Lamictal, Trazodone

Memorable quotes:

  • “I don’t want to escape my life, I just don’t want it to hurt so much.”
  • “A smile is the shortest distance between two people.”
  • “I learned that I have something to offer everyone.”
