Jen Butler (@jenbutlersays) is a writer, comedian, and content creator in recovery from alcoholism, addiction, self-harm, suicidality, disordered eating, codependency, BII (Breast Implant Illness), cancer, and an odd period when she only listened to dubstep.Jen's goals are to help complex or taboo issues (such as suicidality, depression, and overall mental health) become more digestible through her vulnerable, comedic approach. In addition to creative non-fiction, Jen also writes feature-length dark comedy screenplays. Through her screenplays, non-fiction writing, and videos, she hopes to help people feel less alone in their messy humanness, and to bridge the communication gap between those who experience life with the volume turned way up and those who don't.
