I am a stigma fighting role model for people with mental illness. During sophomore year at the University of Notre Dame, I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. Twenty some years later, I have become a pastor’s wife to Nick Teller and a mother of twin girls. I am also a musician who performs “Tuning Out Stigma” presentations. I have a memoir called, “My Brain Makes Me Proud: My Journey Through Schizoaffective Disorder and Anxiety.” I hope to share my story to many to encourage those that need help to seek it, and live out their best lives battling their conditions.
My Brain Makes Me Proud: My Journey Through Schizoaffective Disorder and Anxiety

I am a stigma fighting role model for people with mental illness. Diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder while a sophomore at the University of Notre Dame, I've found my way more than 20 years later to live my best life with this mission. I am a pastor's wife to Nick Teller, and a mother of twin girls. I currently reside in California, but have strong roots from my hometown, Bourbonnais, IL, and launched my advocacy in St. Louis, MO. "My Brain Makes Me Proud: How I Beat Schizoaffective Disorder," is a memoir I have yet to release with co-author and 3-time Emmy Award winning reporter, Art Holliday. View more posts
