A Gentle Note:   Inside the Living Room with Karen Hendrickson is a space for personal reflection, storytelling, education, and encouragement. I share from my own lived experience and perspective, and the reflections and tools offered here are intended to support your own thinking and self-discovery.  Nothing shared through Inside the Living Room is intended to replace professional medical, mental health, legal, financial, or other qualified advice or care. Please seek the support of an appropriate professional when you need it.  Take what feels helpful, leave what doesn’t, and always make the choices that are right for you and your circumstances.
