07-14-25 Write to Heal with Odelia Elgarat
On this episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show with host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt, with special guest, in-studio, Odelia Elgarat.
Little bit about Odelia’s story from her:
When I wrote my first book, I realized that reflecting on my story wasn’t just about remembering—it was about releasing. By looking at my experiences with honesty and compassion, I began to let go of judgment, both toward myself and others. That process transformed me. Now, I help others do the same through guided writing—supporting them as they reflect, share, and celebrate their stories in a way that fosters healing, clarity, and a deep sense of belonging.
