In this powerful episode of Unlimited Parenting, we sit down with Beth Markley, Executive Director of NAMI Idaho, for an honest and deeply human conversation about raising children and supporting loved ones with mental health conditions.

Beth brings both professional insight and lived experience as a parent navigating serious mental illness. Together, we explore what it really looks like to parent through uncertainty, stigma, and systems that don’t always make it easy and why connection, community, and early support matter more than ever, and what NAMI does to support!

From the reality of isolation to the power of peer support, this episode is a must-listen for parents, caregivers, and professionals who want to better understand mental health and build a more compassionate, informed community. A perfect episode for Mental Health Awareness Month!
