Thank you! This was very insightful and educational. We never know who is battling what... I am always training myself to tread lightly and practice patience.

We really never know what anyone is going through at all and remembering that helps so much with kindness throughout the day. <3

Russell, thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights! I found this interview very helpful for where I'm currently sitting in my life. Although I struggle with different "demons" if you will, I love that Kathryn puts these interviews together and I love getting into the minds of other writers. Fascinating stuff and very inspirational. I'm sorry you had to fight with that negative inner voice for so long, but thankful you made it through and seem to be in a better place. <3

I really believe that if we all share our truths in this way then we can create a body of sources that might help each of us when we need support/insight/tips/validation/community.

One of the reasons I'm committed to sharing so many voices in interviews is because we all find that hopeful light in different places among our shared stories. <3
