It all started at 12 years old. From Anorexia, as each mental health diagnosis got snubbed out and replaced with another, right through to Bipolar 1, Sarah Fay was strapped in to ride a 2.5 decade mental health rollercoaster as she grappled with understanding the labels, wrestled with suicidality and navigated life from a very narrow lens that never once offered any hope of ‘recovery’.  Sarah is now an award-winning author, creative writing teacher and keynote speaker who is living proof that healing from mental illness is available to everyone.

We explore the pros and cons of mental health terms and labels and share ideas on how our relationship with our stories and circumstances can greatly affect our mental health. It’s fair to say I immediately dubbed Sarah as my newest podcast bestie and could have kept talking with her for hours. I hope you enjoy this conversation and Sarah’s perspectives as much as I did.
