Raising Rae with Cheryl Rasmussen

Today we have Cheryl Rasmussen on the podcast.

Cheryl is wealth of knowledge and a great resource for any parents raising children with different needs. She refers to herself as an open book and feels strongly that asking for help and talking about your struggles is a sign of strength, not weakness.  Cheryl is funny, spunky, and gave such a great interview.

Liz Rodriguez Sowek

*In this episode there is mention of mental illness, childhood trauma, depression, and suicidal thoughts.* Today's guest, Liz Rodriguez Sowek, is a self described Psychiatric Rockstar. She goes into detail regarding her struggles with her mental health from her teens to now. We appreciate how open and vulnerable she is regarding her mental illness and the countless hours of therapy and work she has done to manage it. She discusses what worked for her and what didn't. She also gives great advice on what to do if a therapist or type of therapy is not working for you and how to advocate for yourself. We are so happy that she is in a good place now with a loving wife and daughter by her side. Liz has come an incredibly long way and we are honored she chose our platform to tell her story. Stay tuned for part 2 where she will discuss her difficult yet wonderful journey into motherhood.
