Speaker, storyteller, and former educator Sasha Kildare is the author of the novel Dream Walking and the memoir/self-help Intact: Untangle the Web of Bipolar Depression, Addiction, and Trauma. She lives near Los Angeles and advocates for integrative mental health treatment.
Mental health is physical health, emotional health, nutrition, sleep hygiene, and more. Adopting simple everyday habits that help nourish your brain and reign in your moods will help you battle negative mental health, help you thrive, and help you have fun!
Performing stand-up comedy, laughter, boosts her mental health. Some of her feature articles have appeared in bp Magazine, Esperanza, and Everyday Health. She blogs about creativity, fiction, and depression. She is the proud mom of two young adult children.
