Grief

Welcome back! It's officially Season 2! I wanted to make sure that this episode was better quality than others so I hope you enjoy the tweaks that were made. I have the most amazing editor that did his thing and I am so happy with out it turned out! This episode is all about grief! There is a content warning as there will be a lot of talk about death and a brief mention of suicide (with no detail). I share my experiences with grief as well as information about grief. This is one of two episodes as the next episode will be about moving through grief, so watch out for that one! I would LOVE to hear your stories of grief.

Bipolar Disorder

The last episode of Season 1 is here! And it's all about Bipolar Disorder! This disorder is one that changed the course of my life the moment I was diagnosed with it. It's been a wild ride going from knowing nothing about it to analyzing every single thing I do and learning to manage it. I am still learning every day about this disorder and I'm happy to have been able to bring you some information about a greatly misunderstood disorder. Thanks for listening this season and see you next year for Season 2!

ADHD

Time to talk about ADHD! One of the most common disorders in children but also becoming a common diagnosis amongst adults too! With the increase in mental health awareness, adults are realizing that a lot of their traits may be attributed to ADHD symptoms. Maybe you're one of those adults living with ADHD or you know someone who does. Or even maybe, you might not even know someone has it until you hear the symptoms! Listen while I talk about how ADHD affects my life and how it affects yours and the people around you who have it.
