This week Rachel would rather be reading literally anything written by Michelle Williams. Seriously, who doesn't want to read this? Michelle Williams really doesn't need an introduction (she has a nice long wikipedia article if you're interested). Checking In: How Getting Real about Depression Saved My Life---and Can Save Yours by Michelle Williams If you are struggling, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. If you're looking to find a therapist, Michelle references Psychology Today (www.psychologytoday.com) in the episode.
