Mental Health: My Personal Journey | Ep. 02

Some days, I feel like I’m on top of the world—like I can do anything, be anything. And then, there are days when just getting out of bed feels impossible. That’s the reality of living with bipolar type 2 and adult ADHD. It’s messy, unpredictable, and sometimes, just downright exhausting. I believe there is hope and victory for those with ADHD and bipolar.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my mental health journey—the highs, the lows, and everything in between. I talk about depression, or as I like to call it, my “dead cat” days (yeah, we’re going there), and the manic moments that make me feel invincible… until they don’t.

But I’m not just here to vent. I’m sharing the things that actually help—things like therapy, faith, lifting heavy weights (because why not), and making my space feel like a sanctuary. Because managing mental health isn’t just about surviving—it’s about finding joy in the midst of it all.

If you’ve ever felt like your brain has a mind of its own, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about it in the comments. What’s been helping you lately?
