On this episode we're sitting down with new author Kyleigh Leddy to hear about her journey publishing a book at 23, as well as advocating for her sister. Kyleigh won the Modern Love college essay contest which prompted her memoir's publishing. She gives us tips on the writing process, where she gathers her inspiration, and why the world needs more voices. We dive into the story surrounding her book, The Perfect Other, which she describes as a love letter to her sister, Kait. The memoir is a first hand account of who Kait was before, in the midst of, and following her diagnosis of schizophrenia. Kyleigh explores what she believes caused it, as well as an account of how it affected her family and home life. We hear about what Kait struggled with while also getting to know who she was as a person. The latter half of the book dives into moving through grief and why we need to approach mental health struggles with more empathy.
