Oh, thank you, Mike. Thanks for having me.
I am excited to have you here. Obviously there is a lot to your background that I stumbled over multiple times, but I always like to start with uh the the author journey. So tell me, Lelene, where does your story as an author begin?
Well, when I'm listening to you read my intro, it strikes me uh how not personal it sounds for how deeply personal my work actually is. I think that everyone listening can probably relate to that I am afraid of something, very deep, very deeply afraid of something. And I'm also very deeply called to something. So everyone listening, maybe you can think of For yourself, you know what is What is your own tiger? What is your own dream? That is driving you. And I'm gonna tell you what mine are. But more important than what mine are, I think, is the relationship I have to them, which has driven my work and caused me to write this book. So what I am deeply afraid of, my tiger, is mental illness. My mom is schizophrenic and
I've always since I was very little been scared of going crazy. And my dream, the thing that I want more than anything in the world is self realization, to feel my own My own power to feel the expression of everything I am, everything that's been invested in me. be realized, be seen in the flesh to be lived as adventures and beautiful relationships. And Even as a child, that tension was present. I was reading books written for psychiatrists working with adolescent girls as an adolescent girl. I was looking for mental health solutions in nature and in the Bible as a very small person. And that, you know, obviously evolved as I stepped into professional environments and But that tension is really what has driven my passion.
And um yeah.
Well. So you were, I mean, from a very young age, you were fascinated with with mental health. What what I mean, was it your mother's schizophrenia when you were a young girl, d did you realize that your your mother was was struggling with that type of psychosis? Or I I'm curious what what prompted you to start investigating when you were so young?
Yes. So she's very obviously crazy. She's It's not subtle. She hears voices and I had a lot of psych I had psychiatrists, I had child psychiatry from as long as I can remember. And it was really, really clear And it is for anyone who's really interacted with the mental health industry that it the mental health industry is actually very ill equipped to deal with mental health. There aren't the solutions aren't that great. And it's Um, it was obvious to me as a child. I remember even sitting with my child psychiatrist and thinking, I know what you're doing and it's not good. Like what you're doing isn't work gonna work. Um so yes, very aware and very aware that the solutions weren't good solutions.
Wow. Yeah, I was I was talking to a physician a few months back on this program who, you know, was is very passionate about psychology, psychiatry. And you know, he's a he was a general practitioner.
