Melissa Bernstein's Battle with Existential Depression and the Birth of Lifelines

The label was the greatest thing ever, because when you feel you're utterly alone and no one else will ever understand or accept you, to have a label for that is like the greatest thing ever.
Melissa Bernstein, co-founder of the beloved toy company Melissa & Doug, opens up about her intense struggle with existential depression in this episode of Financial Sobriety. Known for her success in the business world, Melissa reveals a deeply personal side as she discusses her darkest moments and the steps she has taken to manage her mental health. Her journey led her to Dr. Frankel's logotherapy and existential analysis, methods that helped her understand and cope with her condition.
This candid conversation not only sheds light on her mental health journey but also introduces Lifelines, an organization she created to support others facing similar struggles. Melissa's promise to personally connect with anyone who reaches out for help underscores her commitment to making a difference. The episode also touches on the broader theme of managing relationships with money, people, and oneself, offering listeners practical advice on achieving financial sobriety and emotional well-being.
Tune in for an inspiring and heartfelt discussion that emphasizes you are not alone in your struggles.
