In this just-before-the-holidays holiday episode the Mental Health Mamas are joined by an encore guest Lisa Sugarman.  Lisa is a Boston based author and shares her pivot since the death of her father, a death by suicide, not a heart attack as  originally reported.  She shares her new endeavors as well as her sage advice for those of us who struggle with feeling around the holidays.  Listen in!
