Stephanie Robinson Executive Director of NAMI SWMO on recovering from Agoraphobia and becoming a mental health advocate

Stephanie Robinson spent 14 years of her life stuck inside with agoraphobia before finally taking her life back by trying medication and therapy. She is now the Executive Director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness in the Southwest Missouri area. They are a grassroots, not for profit organization dedicated to providing programs and services to individuals and family members impacted by mental illness. NAMI serves as a drop-in center and offers peer supported groups to manage and help in their recovery.

In this episode, we discuss what it was like for her during the hardest times before she began her recovery, how she got her life back, the resources NAMI offers, and more!

TRIGGER WARNING: Stephanie talks, briefly, about making an attempt to take her own life in the beginning of the episode. I let you know in the intro how to skip past that part, if you wish to do so.
