Or maybe you know someone who does. If so, I hope you’ll check out Stronger Together, the special section on mental health now running on the Huffington Post. And while you’re there, leave a comment on my new piece, Confessions of a Blue-gened Blonde. Thanks!
Susan McCorkindale is a motivational TEDx Speaker, author of two amazon bestselling memoirs, and host of the online series, “Flaws Are the New Black.”
Her first book, Confessions of a Counterfeit Farm Girl, chronicles her move – with her husband and two sons – from suburban New Jersey to a 500-acre beef cattle farm in the wilds of Virginia. Her follow-up, 500 Acres and No Place to Hide: More Confessions of a Counterfeit Farm Girl, is both heartbreaking and side-splittingly funny as our favorite fake farm girl navigates her husband’s very real cancer diagnosis.
A popular keynote speaker known for her high-energy, humorous, and captivating presentations, Susan speaks frequently on the topics of resilience, grief, and the role of humor in helping people bounce back and stay back.
Thank you for sharing this.
You’re welcome, Justine. I always figure that if I have something — a hang nail, cold sore, raging anxiety and depression — others must too, so why not get it out there and talk about it? It can’t hurt (people already think I’m nuts to talk about the things I do and frankly, so what!) and it could help someone realize they’re not alone and that there’s help available. True, they may have to drive a ways to get it, but it’s worth the trip.
Thanks so much for your note!
