Summary
Tiffany Jenkins has been the authentic face of mental health struggles on the internet for years. She offers a candid, raw and often humorous view on her struggles of sobriety and mental health, helping normalize these issues for millions of people.
I was thrilled to have the opportunity to have Tiffany back on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast to discuss her new book, A Clean Mess, and dive deeper into how her anxiety, OCD and depression showed up after her kids were born.
We explored:
-Her experience with Postpartum Depression and the apathy it created
-How she was diagnosed with Harm OCD after years of thinking she had just anxiety
-Coping with a partner who doesn’t have the capacity to understand or empathize with mental health struggles
-How she talks about her mental health to her 9 and 10 year old children
-How she navigates her mental health while millions of people watch
Check out Tiffany’s Instagram account here and grab a copy of both her books, High Achiever and her new memoir, A Clean Mess.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get help and guidance through the chaos of parenting a child with anxiety or OCD. |
| 0:12.0 | This show is for educational purposes and is not intended to replace the guidance of a qualified professional. |
| 0:18.5 | Here's your host, child therapist, Natasha Daniels. Well, hello there, |
| 0:23.6 | and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. Today, I'm super excited to bring |
| 0:30.0 | back one of my favorite people on the internet. We are going to be talking to Tiffany Jenkins. |
| 0:34.7 | I started following her literally forever ago. I don't even know how long |
| 0:39.5 | when she would make really relatable, funny mental health videos on the internet. I sound really old. |
| 0:47.4 | The internets. And then I read her book, her first book. It was a bestselling book called High Achiever, |
| 0:53.4 | which talked about her |
| 0:54.9 | struggles with addiction and her experience getting through to the other side. It was a really |

| 1:17.6 | And it's a great book. |
| 1:20.2 | It kind of picks up where the last one left off, but you can pick it up and not know her |
| 1:24.5 | background at all. |
| 1:25.7 | And what I love about her new book is she really highlights mental health struggles, |
| 1:32.7 | maternal mental health struggles, you know, and how parenthood also can trigger so much |
