While it might be trendy to champion mental illness on social media, the real conversations creating change are messy, vulnerable, and full of pain. Authentic conversations about mental health are still stigmatized, with millions of sufferers afraid to share their stories for fear of judgement. However, one author is taking readers behind the curtain to facilitate these conversations with grace, humor, and courage.
With the release of "Empty Cupboards," writer and journalist Stacey Powells shares that it wasn’t just one event, but many which sent her down the rabbit hole. It took her years to dissect her dysfunctional puzzle, all culminating in this glorious collection of essays about past mistakes, present revelations, and hope for the future.
Originally scheduled to appear in November, Powells will be at Barnes & Noble, Reno for a book signing event Dec. 11, 2022 from 1pm – 4pm.
No. 1 on Amazon’s New Releases/Mid-Life, Powells dives into raw and embarrassing moments which caused her life to crack, revealing that “All the Kings horses and all the Kings men, couldn’t put Stacey together again.”
“In Empty Cupboards, Stacey Powells tackles one of the toughest of all subjects — severe depression — with wisdom and wit. Written with compelling prose and fresh insights, this book is a must for all who are looking to understand their own mental health and the decisions that make us who we are,” says Debra Landwehr Engle, author of "The Only Little Prayer You Need."

Best of all, she can have as much blubber as she wants and no one will care.
