I Was The Mom of 2 Kids With Serious Mental Health Struggles — What I Wish I Knew

Jan Stewart was a high-level executive with big dreams for her family — but nothing prepared her for what came next. Both of her children were diagnosed with serious mental health conditions, including OCD, ADHD, autism, Tourette syndrome, and more.

In this powerful conversation, Jan opens up about what it’s really like to raise two kids with serious mental health struggles. From misdiagnoses and meltdowns to stigma, sleepless nights, and small wins that meant everything, she shares what she wishes she had known early on — and what she hopes every parent facing similar challenges can take away from her story.
