Nashville Author Shares Message of Redemption in New #1 Book, Prayers of a Prodigal

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 64% of people polled report that the holidays worsen their mental health conditions. Additionally, a recent poll by the American Psychiatric Association found that 75% of respondents feel anxiety regarding the economy and personal finances this year.

Nashville-area author Jaana Woodbury’s new book, Prayers of a Prodigal, released on Amazon and in bookstores nationwide, aims to support those struggling with mental health issues or addiction. Jaana developed a significant following after her family’s story was featured in the Emmy Award-winning "Parental Addiction" series on Sesame Street. Since then, she has continued to raise awareness through national initiatives, including Tennessee’s "You Are Not Alone" anti-drug coalition.

Her new book extends this mission, using her faith to encourage those facing similar struggles. I am writing to see if you have any guest spots available this December or January. Jaana is local to Nashville and can discuss the following:

  - Her Personal Journey: How she transitioned from "lost to found" and why there is hope for those struggling with addiction.

  - Faith and Ministry: Her mission to help others through her new ministry.

  - Media Assets: Clips from the Sesame Street series and photos of her family and life in Tennessee.

  - Expert Advice: Practical tips for viewers or family members struggling
