In this powerful episode of EmotionAL Support, Alessandra Torresani sits down with author and mental health advocate Renee Zukin to explore the raw truth of living with OCD and anxiety.
Renee opens up about her personal journey—from the confusion of diagnosis to the clarity that followed—and how storytelling became her lifeline. Together, they unpack the misconceptions around OCD, the nonlinear nature of healing, and the idea of radical bravery: choosing courage even when fear shows up.
This heartfelt conversation dives into the emotional layers of parenting with mental health challenges, finding resilience in imperfection, and teaching kids that healing isn’t about getting it right—it’s about staying real.
✨ You’ll hear about:
• The power of storytelling in mental health advocacy
• Why OCD is so misunderstood
• How to parent through fear and vulnerability
• Tools for managing anxiety and comparison
• The truth about healing—it’s a spiral, not a straight line
A reminder that courage doesn’t mean being fearless—it means feeling everything and moving forward anyway.
