Episode Intro: For this episode of Inner Space we're focusing on relationships and families, how they shape us, and the importance of working through the struggles that we inevitably face. Sometimes we pull together during times of crisis, sometimes despite our best efforts, our families can't withstand the strain and relationships end or change dramatically. As always, here on Inner Space, our focus is on how we can support and maintain emotional health and well-being during the best of times and the worst of times. Today's guests are all in the process of healing, rebuilding and sharing what's helped them and their families. First, host Dr. Barbara Van Dahlen sits down with Ricki Lake whose husband's suicide lead her to think very differently about herself and mental health, then she meets with Wayne Brady and his ex-wife, Mandie Taketa, who together, are redefining family, and challenging us all to rethink how we understand divorce. Finally, Dr. Barbara catches up with her dear friend, Fred Knowles whose family tragedy lead to a writing career and a professional opportunity he never could have imagined.
