In today’s episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I’m joined by entrepreneur, philanthropist, and nonprofit founder Mandi Brown-Hayley for a deeply moving conversation about the life-changing experience that reshaped her family’s future.
Together, we discuss what it was like to live alongside mental health struggles within a marriage, the difficult decision to leave after years of trying to make it work, and the tools that helped her family find healing during one of the darkest seasons of their lives.
Mandi also shares how that profound loss ultimately led her to discover a greater purpose. She founded The Loved Ones Left Behind, an organization dedicated to helping families facing similar circumstances.
If you or someone you know is in distress or experiencing a mental health crisis, immediate help is available. You can quickly connect with free, confidential support by calling or texting 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
