In season 2 episode 2 of Carrie's Always Talking the subject of the mental health system is up on deck. Carrie is joined by her guest, Sarah Wojdylak, who shares her perspective as someone who's participated both sides of the system. She shares some of the challenges she's experienced as both a client and as a provider in her most recent job at a non profit. They discuss the importance of self-advocacy, the impact of stigma, and the need for empathy in mental health care. Sarah discloses the reasons behind her decision to make a big change in her life- guided by the knowledge that making the best choice for her mental health is worth more than a paycheck. There are a lot of laughs and yes- anding throughout the episode.
