Mandi Wolfswinkel is a mom, a wife, a third grade teacher, and one tough woman. Her story hasn't always been easy, but through it all she has realized that life is so much better when it’s done with each other. Not perfectly…..but authentically, and most importantly…together.
During Episode 2, life-long friends Mandi and Ashley connect to discuss Mandi's journey in life thus far. Mandi very openly shares about:
- Her struggle to fit in while in high school.
- What it was like to navigate her teen pregnancy and all of the challenges that came with it.
- How she handled her parent's divorce when she felt like life was falling apart.
- Her personal struggle with depression and abuse of her prescription as a way to cope with life.
- How she opened up publicly about her struggle with depression and how it was perceived.
- What the stigma surrounding depression actually feels like when you're living in the midst of it.
- How important it is to find your people and keep them close.
- Her recent decision to go back to therapy.
Mandi's authenticity is both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. So, tune in, and hang on, because here we go!
