Before I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, I was living inside a mind I didn’t understand.
This episode is my lived experience — the moment I stood at the edge, the spiral that led me there, and the tiny hand that pulled me back.

In this deeply personal story, I share what undiagnosed bipolar disorder really looked like, how depression and mania intertwined, and how motherhood became the anchor that kept me here.

This season is about lived experience. The real stories we don’t usually say out loud — stories of mental health, addiction, recovery, and survival.

If you’ve ever felt lost inside your own mind, this episode is for you.
