In this "in the trenches" episode Sarah McKenna shares her battle with bipolar disorder.  She discusses how she knew in a high school psychology class that something wasn't right, but was dismissed when she approached the adults in her life.  In college she finally realized what was happening and found a therapist and started taking medication.  However it wasn't until she was in her 30's that she received the correct diagnosis.  Sarah's persistence and trusting her instincts are inspiring as are the people in her life that have supported and loved her through this.  Advocating for ourselves and persisting when we feel something isn't right is the big takeaway I get from this episode.  Sarah has a creative, thriving life with her husband and children and is a warrior mama.
