What happens when reality TV meets real mental health talk?
Ever wonder what it’s like to go from a quiet IT career to starring on a national reality dating show… while battling bipolar disorder, surviving abuse, and beating cancer? This episode of The Brian Nichols Show is unlike anything we’ve done before. No politics. No punditry. Just a raw, real, and radically important conversation about mental health, survival, and the strength it takes to own your story.
But the heart of the conversation isn’t the drama - it’s the honesty. Lannette opens up about living with bipolar disorder, her struggles with addiction, and how unresolved trauma from domestic abuse shaped the way she approached relationships, motherhood, and even the lens through which she viewed herself. It’s real. It’s vulnerable. And it’s the kind of talk we need more of.
The two also explore why today’s hyper-connected world leaves people lonelier than ever, how parenting has shifted across generations, and how too many people now identify with their mental health challenges instead of fighting to grow through them. You’ll hear personal stories from Brian and Lannette about how they overcame their own demons—and what finally helped them feel like themselves again.
This is one of those episodes that sticks with you. If you've ever struggled, felt isolated, or just needed to hear someone say “you’re not alone,” this one’s for you.
