Meet Brittany - your host, creator and fellow overWHELMed friend. Get to know the who, the what, the why (the when is now and the where is my couch!).

Our secrets, our suffering, our shame, isolate us from one another when in reality it’s what bonds us together. There is healing in connection and it’s time to bring light to the dark places. WHELM is a space of candor, aimed at de-stigmatizing mental health, with stories being told unapologetically.
