This episode contains talk of depression and suicidal ideation. Please listen responsibly. Today on the podcast we have world-renowned speaker Kristina Kuzmic. Kristina went from being a single mom living on food stamps to supporting her child through severe depression.  She has been lucky enough to thrive on social media, juggling all of life’s challenges and encouraging her audience to prioritize their mental health. She has quickly become a viral sensation with 2.9 million Facebook followers and well over 600,000 Instagram followers. . Even as the platforms evolve, her message continues to resonate with parents who need to hear that it's okay to be less than perfect. In her new book, I CAN FIX THIS, And Other Lies I Told Myself While Parenting My Struggling Child, Kristina shares what she learned the year her son's life seemed to unravel. These revelations helped her not only bear witness to his journey to healing but transformed the way she talks and thinks about parenting and showed her the unhealed wounds  in herself that must be addressed. We have a powerful conversation today on Kristina’s journey, her experience dealing with her son’s depression, how she navigated the experience, and ended up writing a book with the support of her son – on the other side of some of the most turbulent years.
