134: Not Being Swayed By The Waves with Janice Morgan

Published: Oct. 15, 2019, 11 p.m.

Janice Morgan, author of the newly released memoir Suspended Sentence, joins Chelsea 9:15 minutes in to talk about overcoming the shame of her son’s arrest and how, in the process of finding a community that both related and embraced her uphill battle, she was able to see her son’s mental illness, substance abuse, and arrest as a pathway to her own recovery, retire her mock-heroic role as savior in her son’s life, and uncover her own guilt as a mother who too often focused on the security of her career rather than the prosperity of her child. At the heart of it, this is a story of learning the value of letting your children struggle for themselves, that parents are human too, and how it’s never too late to parent differently.__To connect with Janice, visit her:Website: https://janicemorganauthor.comPurchase Suspended Sentence: https://www.amazon.com/Suspended-Sentence-Memoir-Janice-MorganBlog: https://janicemorganauthor.com/blogNAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illnesshttps://www.nami.org__Work with Chelsea: www.breakupward.com/shopChelsea’s website: www.breakupward.comSign up for Chelsea’s newsletter: bit.ly/tyhbletterInstagram: www.instagram.com/thankyouheartbreakConnect and send in your questions and/or letters viawww.instagram.com/thankyouheartbreakOr by email: Chelsea@breakupward.com
