In this episode of our award-winning podcast, Debbie Russell shares her journey from being a prosecutor to a writer, discussing her book "Crossing 51: Not Quite a Memoir," which intertwines her family's mental health history with her own experiences. The discussion delves into themes of family dynamics, inpatient rehab treatments in the 1950s, and the courage it takes to confront difficult truths.
Debbie reflects the importance of storytelling in healing, and the generational differences in parenting and communication. She feels the pandemic shifted conversations around mental health, and our conversation highlights the power of books to connect people and the personal growth that comes from sharing one's story. It's a powerful episode that highlights her tell-all memoir about her complicated family.
