Who knows more about the challenges of mental wellness than a former child actor?

Lisa Jakub is an author, speaker, therapeutically-focused yoga teacher, mental wellness coach, and retired actor who has more than forty film and television credits to her name, including "Mrs. Doubtfire" and "Independence Day." And she's had anxiety since forever.

At the age of twenty-two, Jakub retired from her eighteen-year acting career in search of a life that felt more authentic to her. Jakub teaches mindfulness workshops for corporations, organizations, and colleges, and leads therapeutically-focused yoga programs for the management of anxiety and depression.

She is the founder and director of the 501c3 Mission Flexible, hosting mindfulness retreats for military Veterans with post-traumatic stress, and is the founder and CEO of BlueMala.com, an online resource for mental wellness and community.

Jakub is the author of "You Look Like That Girl: A Child Actor Stops Pretending and Finally Grows Up" and "Not Just Me: Anxiety, Depression, and Learning to Embrace Your Weird."
