Trigger warning: Topic of suicide and mental health
For Season 1, Episode 2, I chatted with Joanna Leynes who shares her personal experience with mental health as a suicide survivor, and has since been on a mission to advocate for suicide awareness and prevention. We connected through the loss of our mutual friend Allen Lau who passed away on 8/16/2019. We shared fond memories of him, and the importance of honoring his memory. This episode is dedicated in his honor. Here's Joanna Leyne's bio:
"Joanna is a 36-year-old wife and working mother of 2 young boys. She is a second generation Filipina-American, born and raised in Chicago. She works as a Product Content Manager for a website. Outside of work, Joanna enjoys portrait and event photography and graphic design. She is an outspoken mental health advocate and writes about topics like family life, wellness and beauty on her new blog www.mamajley.com and on her Instagram @mama_jley. "
