Episode notes

Daxx Williams had a full mental breakdown in high school and wanted to be sent away but her parents were afraid. She says she's still very nervous about where her mental health will go without someone sort of keeping me in check. "I think I would just kind of like lean into listening to Elliot Smith and staying up to like eight o'clock in the morning"

Michelle Zauner on how to begin healing our mother wounds, using her sensitivity to deepen her relationships and be a rockstar, why she’s obsessed with sheetcake and winnebagos, and why she is still “afraid of her mental health.”
