Hey all- I am Jen! (Jennifer if it’s serious, never Jenny). I am a wife, a mama, and a nurse. I love reading, writing, traveling, and pretty much anything that involves the beach or seashells.

I have been on a journey as a partner, supporter, and advocate of my husband who has battled a war of the mind for several years now. I have lived through the battles and consequences of bipolar disorder and the all consuming depression and darkness that comes with it, as well as the effects it has had on my family. I have a desire to share our journey with the world in hopes that it might change the stigma surrounding men and mental health in our country. I don’t have any real answers, only our story to tell in hopes that it might make somebody going through this feel less alone through a shared experience.
