In this heartfelt video, Jordan Corcoran opens up about her personal battle with mental illness and how it inspired her to create Listen, Lucy.
At just 19 years old, Jordan was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder, leading to feelings of fear, desperation, anger, heartbreak, and isolation. Despite having a supportive network, she struggled to make others truly understand the consuming and life-altering nature of her condition. Recognizing the need for change, Jordan embarked on a transformative journey.

Through Listen, Lucy, Jordan aims to bridge the gap between those who have experienced mental illness and those who haven't, fostering understanding, compassion, and support. This powerful story of resilience and personal growth is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the potential for positive change.
