Best of In This Family: Loving Families and the Pain of Silence with Meg Kissinger

Guest Meg Kissinger - Podcast: In This Family
May 13, 2026

Content Warning: This episode discusses substance use, depression, anxiety, and death by suicide.

Award-winning veteran journalist Meg Kissinger grew up as part of a close-knit family in a noisy and active house. That happens in a home with eight kids. Yet there was nothing but silence when it came to the pervasive bipolar disorder, substance use disorder, depression, and anxiety that heavily impacted the Kissingers. Meg, author of the moving memoir While You Were Out, tells how she persevered, found answers that were hard to come by, and got to a healthier place. It’s an inspiring conversation about mental illness, loss, healing, and hope.

Topic(s): Adult Mental Health, Depression, Family & Relationships

In This Family is presented by Nexus Family Healing, a national nonprofit mental health organization that restores hope for thousands of children and families. Learn more and listen at NexusFamilyHealing.org/podcast.
