Eps 411: Adulting update with my girl Rowan

Episode 411


I’m so excited about my guest today, Rowan O’Roarty, my daughter!  

Rowan is back and shares updates on what’s been going on since last time she was on, like working as an esthetician and moving out & living on her own.  We talk about how often we check-in with each other, how Rowan’s anxiety & depression are showing up recently, and how she manages them.  She shares her thoughts on how parents can best support their adolescents and young adults when they’re struggling with depression.  Rowan ends by sharing a poem about motherhood that resonated with her recently.  


Guest Description

You got to listen to Rowan speak about her mental health journey the end of 2020 on Episode 252, then she came back with an update the following year in 2021 on Episode 306.
