Episode Synopsis

In this episode of my "Socially Stetson" podcast, I welcome Jean Gettys, a real estate broker with nearly 30 years of experience, to discuss mental health through her personal journey with her brother, who has bipolar disorder. Jean shares the challenges of reconnecting with her brother, who faced homelessness, and how this inspired her to write a book about their experiences. Our conversation highlights the therapeutic benefits of writing and journaling, the importance of understanding mental health conditions, and strategies for promoting mental health awareness through social media and storytelling.
