Ep 5: Jacinta Read - Mental Illness, the Church, & Your True Self
Listen now
Description
This week we speak to author and illustrator Jacinta Read on the release of her recent memoir "Patchwork Someone". Jacinta talks candidly about her journey with mental illness, the impact on her relationships, the keys to her recovery, and what she has learnt about God and herself in the process. We also speak about the church and its approach to mental health, and how Christian culture can be both a blessing and a curse in this area. Jacinta brings a clarity, intelligence, vulnerability and self-reflection to this conversation, and I am so grateful for her willingness to share on a topic so critical to this time. Allow her story to help you rediscover your true self.
