Many adults move through life with internal battles no one else sees, and this episode shows how those patterns form and why they feel so heavy.

In this episode of The Vibe With Ky Podcast, Ky talks with Jonathan Kemp, an entrepreneur and mental health advocate who shares how bipolar two, dyslexia, and addiction shaped his life long before he had names for any of it.

Jonathan explains how SmartWisdom started during his postgraduate studies and why a late dyslexia diagnosis brought years of struggle into focus.

He recalls a moment during testing when “I started crying. So a 49 year old man who's being tested for dyslexia,” and how that memory pushed him toward new support.

Listeners hear how stress cycles led to frequent crashes during COVID and how an emergency action list helped him move forward. Jonathan also breaks down the structure of his memoir and the tools he built to support sleep, mood, and daily focus.

This episode encourages listeners to learn from personal patterns and reach for help when needed.
