The format of this week’s episode will be different than previous weeks.  In celebration of mental health awareness month, licensed social worker, Danny Hutnick, interviews Emily McElwreath about her mental health journey. As this is never a podcast that focuses on the journey Emily agreed to speak a little about hers.
