## Resource

What happens after the diagnosis After the hospitalization After the labels, the silence, and the fear In this deeply moving episode of Loving Everything, Andrea Love sits down with Renee Anderson, writer, conservationist, and creator of Wild Oregon Girl, for an honest conversation about life after schizoaffective disorder, dual diagnosis rehab, and the slow, courageous work of rebuilding a relationship with yourself. Renee shares what it was like to disappear from public life after a mental health crisis and what it took to return - not cured, not polished, but honest. Together, we explore mental health recovery, trauma, identity, and meaning after diagnosis, including how writing became a lifeline, how to re-emerge online without self-exploitation, and how healing can coexist with responsibility, creativity, and stewardship. We discuss grief and hope, recovery and meaning, spirituality and psychology, and how reconnecting to land, community, and imagination can be part of healing. This episode is for anyone learning how to live with what they did not choose - and still create a life rooted in purpose, beauty, and truth. https://www.wildoregongirl.com/ ___ Find out more about Andrea Love and her services here: andrea.love Find out more about The House of Healing & Love here: thehouseofhealing.love ___ All production by Cody Maxwell. sharkfyn.com Artwork by Heather Grace Gordy.
