Take the good, trash the bad

What is the Therapy Thrift Shop?

The Therapy Thrift Shop is not a shop, but a podcast. What? I know but hear me out. You know how you find super cool things when you are rummaging around a thrift shop? Well, I am going through my past decade of navigating life with a mental illness and I want to share all the goodness with you. At the Therapy Thrift Shop, you are invited to take the good and trash the bad. Learn from my experiences so you can thrive in your own life.

You can find the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcast, iHeartRadio and Amazon Music.

Who am I?

Hi! I’m Wini. I’m based in Atlanta, Georgia. I have had a clinical mental illness since I was 25 years old. I have learned a lot in the last 11 years of managing my mental health, and I want to share it with you. I am not a trained medical professional, but it would be nice to hear from the other side of the therapy office.

Why now?

When I was first diagnosed in 2013, I was so upset and frustrated. Why did this happen to me? One of the things that helped me overcome the frustration was that I was determined to use my experiences to help someone else. Over the last decade, I have helped people, but the personal loss of a family friend to suicide compelled me to start sharing now. I hope sharing my story helps others navigate life with a mental illness.
