“I had a talk with my parents, and they were like, ‘We want to follow this story if you’re okay with that,’ and I was like, ‘Yes’ because I know I’m going to get better, and I would love for me to see my journey,” she explained.
“I think it’s important because it’s hard to talk in a YouTube video or a TikTok about my mental health because it’s just not everything, I could never show every part on like a short-form platform.”
She went on to add that, “being able to do this on the Hulu show has really shown every step of the way, and I’ve seen my personality change and how I am as a person.”
Fans are excited to see what the family’s lives look like behind the scenes, and get a deeper insight into Dixie’s experiences with her mental health.
