An Open Conversation About Mental Health & Turning Adversity into Advocacy with @ImNotDrunkLifeStyleBlog
May 15, 2020 Season 1 Episode 2
Shelby Lentz

**Trigger warning** This show contains hard topics on life with HD which can including speaking on topics of abuse, neglect, su*cidal ideations and more. Please listen with caution.

Today I am joined by one of my dear friends, and fellow Huntington's Disease Advocates, Kyra Ashley Clarke. We discuss mental health with HD as a caregiver, setting boundaries, and talking the opportunity to educate against hurtful HD stereotypes and stigma. Ashley was inspired to begin her blog #ImNotDrunkLifestyleBlog after her father, who suffers from HD, was mistakenly called out in a crowd by a stranger for being "horribly drunk." Now she uses her blog as an outlet for her own mental health and as a learning tool for those who are misinformed about Huntington's Disease.
