About the show

Here we will get real in our conversations about Mental Illness and Caregiving, and the messy reality of keeping it all balanced.    No sugar-coating, no clinical jargon—just real talk about the hospitalizations, the medication battles, and the toll it takes on a home   This is for the parents, siblings, and partners who are doing the impossible every single day.  Holding It Together is a home for the overthinkers, the multitaskers, and anyone who feels like they’re one spilled coffee away from a meltdown.
