Description
What happens when caregiving and personal growth converge in the life of a newlywed? Johan Heinrichs welcomes his daughter, Danika, who recounts her journey of balancing self-care and supporting her husband, Jaden, through his bipolar disorder.
She opens up about her challenges, from navigating her own ADHD diagnosis to experiencing burnout and learning the importance of a support network. As Danika reflects on her post-school life and their transformative move to a new apartment, she shares how closer ties to their church community improved their mental and emotional well-being.
This conversation highlights the balance between self-care, faith, and the supportive power of the community, providing valuable insights on managing personal and shared struggles with grace and resilience.
