In the second episode of Minor Feelings, we spoke to New York Democrat politician Lindsey Boylan. Boylan ran for Congress in the NY Democratic primary in June 2020 from the 10th district. She’s been particularly frank about her tumultuous and difficult childhood, her ability and foresight to seek therapy early on, and dealing with postpartum depression after the birth of her first child. She was previously Deputy Secretary of Economic Development to Governor Andrew Cuomo, and we talk about the discourse around mental illness in political spheres, and what it does to your mental health to project everlasting perfection as a politician.
