Radio Toni A Conversation with Kez with Kez Wickham St George

Guest, Brittany Elderidge, author, mental health advocate, radio talk show host, daughter of God and Ordained minister.

Brittany is a survivor of childhood trauma, mental illness, family dysfunction. The Fall of 2019, Brittany woke up at 4am with a calling to write her story to share with others, as she felt others could relate to parts of her story. In the process of healing and inner child work, Brittany has relied on her Faith to help her with letting go. Brittany's first memoir was typed on her Android phone, miles away from her home.  Brittany says “Each of us carry spiritual gifts, and I believe that writing has helped me express myself in so many ways.”

The author of 6 books,

Good morning Kez Good Evening Brittany, thank you both for joining us today

1. Kez Hi Brittany, your book - The Day My Soul Ran Away is like looking through the window to the soul of an individual living with Borderline Personality Disorder. Can you tell me about what it was like writing this book?

Notes: This disorder takes the lives of many, as the pain within the soul can truly become unbearable to manage. From coping mechanisms like avoiding the real or unreal thoughts of abandonment, self-destruction, and giving in to inner demons. We are Warriors.

2. Toni Chasing Fireflies is all about hope and empowerment. Why was it important to write about hope?

Notes: Harmony is a girl in the book that finds the light from a firefly to help her through the darkness of her life. Through the twists and turns, Harmony realizes that she hasn't been alone all along.

3. Kez You’ve written a children’s book called There Isn’t Any Monsters Under the Bed – what sparked your desire to write for children and what’s the story about?

Notes: Max discovers an idea through his new friend Ted on how to overcome his anxious thoughts about monsters under his bed. Max continues to challenge his anxious thoughts and realizes that he can overcome his anxiety.
