Shame, Influence, and Struggle Care with KC Davis

KC Davis is a licensed professional therapist, author, and speaker. She is the creator of the mental health platform Struggle Care, where she shares a revolutionary approach to self and home care for those dealing with mental health, physical illness, and hard seasons of life.

She's with us today to talk about her role in the neurodiversity community as a TikTok influencer, how she stumbled into her favorite video community.

We love KC not just for her TikTok, though. She's author of the book How to Keep House While Drowning, where she catalogs her approach to healthy living while embracing your struggles as morally neutral, not personality judgments. Her approach to living, shame, and struggle is, frankly, a breath of fresh air.

Learn more about KC and her work at StruggleCare. And, of course, buy the book in your favorite format now.
