Hello there and welcome to Listen, Lucy!

Rewriting this letter 10 years after starting this organization is such a wild, humbling moment. When I had this dream so many years ago, there was no way I could have predicted what I would endure in order to turn that dream into reality. I knew I had a story that could connect people. I knew my voice and message were important and I was confident enough to know I could impact change. I had no idea how many obstacles I would jump over and how a pandemic could change everything.

Over the past decade, I have shared my story of living with and managing Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder with tens of thousands of people across the country. I have educated on how stigma impacts recovery and have raised awareness by talking to anyone that would listen. I have been featured on some of the biggest media outlets in the country for my mental health activism (see below). I have self-published four books (see the Books + More tab). I have hosted panels, fundraisers, and forums to bring our community together and now I am working on using my platform to host a free mental health conference for middle school students in an effort to eliminate financial barriers that so many school districts face when wanting to provide programming like mine. 

This next chapter of Listen, Lucy is one that aims to elevate my reach and impact systemic change. I cannot tell you how much it means to me that you stopped to check out my tiny corner of the Internet. My goal has always been to create a community that grows into a less judgmental, more accepting world. Welcome to that community. We are so happy to have you.
