Click here to listen to Episode 9 of Choose Your Own After podcast with Stacey, featuring her guest, Erin Fagan.
Episode 9 – October 21, 2021 – A physical injury and bearing witness to her father’s experience with depression and a suicide attempt, both set the scene for Erin’s own mental health decline starting before the age of 10. We chat about the four-decade-roller-coaster-cycle of trying to access support in an inadequate system, mis-diagnoses, suicide attempts, over-medicating and subsequent addiction. All while juggling the raising of three sons with the support of an extraordinary support network. She shares her experience of coming through the other side, after forging her path to wellness with her own recipe of self-care; and finding her way to a place where she now supports others as a Reflexologist and Reiki healer in the Region of Durham, Ontario.
* This episode includes some mature themes. Please take care and be mindful of little ears listening. *

I’m Stacey—writer, family caregiver/autism consultant, solo parent of three, and founder of Willowjak Services (aka your favourite chaos coordinator). This work? It’s my lifeline, born from lived experience and middle-of-the-night “there has to be a better way” moments. I cut through red tape, decode jargon, and help fellow caregivers find their footing in the mess.I show up real, raw, and a little unfiltered—sharing my own hurdles and heartaches so you know you’re not the only one yelling “WTF?” into your coffee at 2 a.m.
