About
Dear Family, is a podcast about our complicated families, parenting and achieving mental health- especially when mental illness runs in the family. Dear Family, is a love letter meant to stop you from writing yourself or your loved ones off. Join Rachel Steinman- a writer, educator, and mental wellness advocate, along with her guests in an honest and open conversation to find community, healing, understanding, and compassion. Besides practical advice, plan on laughing and maybe even crying. And besides feeling uplifted, maybe you'll even look forward to your next family gathering. Think of “Dear Family” as an intimate conversation you’d have when you confide in your sister or brother. Or better yet, with your best friend, who we all know is your chosen family anyway. After all, we are only as sick as our secrets, so we might as well speak up.
