In today's second part of our two-part conversation with Brittany, she starts to open up about her turning point, how she started to really find herself in her writing, and how she has learned to live with her disorders. Brittany shares what it's like to be living in recovery with her disorders, but also what it's like to have advocacy show up in her life and what she feels has been helpful to her, and sometimes more importantly, what she feels has not been helpful. Be sure to check out PART ONE: youtu.be/Wemz1TFDJTE. In this first part of our two-part conversation with Brittany, she opens up about living with these disorders and the impact they've had on her personal life. She also shares some of the specific challenges and experiences she's had with these disorders, and notably, when she, in 2019, decided to voluntarily admit herself to seek treatment and recovery, and since then, has gone on to be a fierce mental health advocate. She also leaves us with some thoughts on ways that we can best advocate for the youth in our lives.
