Today, on World Bipolar Awareness Day, Tainted Love: A Bipoplar Memoir has a cover.
It captures something I don’t even fully have words for yet.
Presale is live. 🤍
100% of presale revenue is being donated to the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA)—and I’m personally matching it.

March 30 is International Bipolar Awareness Day, a day dedicated to increasing understanding of a condition that is often misunderstood.
When people think of bipolar disorder, they tend to imagine dramatic extremes—manic highs or devastating lows. But there is another side that people rarely talk about.
In this episode, Louise reads a powerful excerpt from her memoir about the quieter, more complicated reality of living with bipolar while medicated and seemingly stable.
Three years into treatment, standing beside the steadiest partner she has ever known, she finds herself confronting a difficult truth: sometimes the hardest battle isn’t surviving the storm—it’s learning how to live in the calm without destroying it.
This episode explores the internal war many people with bipolar disorder experience, even when everything on the outside appears steady.
