How has the power of building and being part of different communities helped my guest?

This week I sit down with Shaley Hoogendoorn as she shares the power in the community she has been part of to play a role in the creation of "this is bipolar" podcast! 

Shaley is a speaker, vlogger and co-host of "This is Bipolar" podcast who aims to dismantle the stigma around mental health and create a safe community for those that struggle. She lives with bipolar ll, and is passionate about educating and empowering others about mental health disorders. She has contributed to publications for Sanctuary Ministries, Psych Central and BP Hope magazine. Shaley is also an elementary school teacher and event planner.

Tune in to hear Shaley recount what it was like to share her diagnosis publicly for the first time, how she teaches her children about mental illness and the ways in which she has effectively worked to decrease the stigma so far!
