Motherhood is beautiful — and heavy. In this episode, we explore the emotional realities of parenting while navigating depression, bipolar disorder, and/or anxiety, and what it looks like to rebuild yourself while still showing up for your children.

We sat down with TikTok creators Kasidie (@keepingupwithkaside) and Alyshia (@MAMA.A) for an honest conversation about therapy, medication, guilt, boundaries, and redefining what being a “good mom” really means.

If you’re healing while mothering, this episode is for you.

You’re not alone — you’re unfolding.

Mental health doesn’t clock out when we do. In this episode, we talk about navigating burnout, workplace stigma, and the pressure to always be “on” while living with bipolar disorder. From masking to exhaustion, we unpack the realities of surviving corporate culture while cycling.

Being strong kept us alive—but it also kept us hurting. This episode dives into emotional labor, unspoken pain, and the permission to be soft without guilt. We talk about letting go of the cape and embracing vulnerability as a form of healing.

Being Black and bipolar comes with layers the world often ignores. In this episode, we unpack the misconceptions, the silence, and the power of owning our truth anyway.

Dating while managing bipolar disorder can make emotions feel unpredictable. In this episode, we share honest experiences about relationships, emotional highs and lows, and the boundaries we’re learning to set. A real and relatable conversation about navigating love with patience, understanding, and grace.

Family will love you, trigger you, and humble you, sometimes all in the same day.

In this episode, we get real about family dynamics, generational patterns, emotional triggers, and the boundaries we’re still learning to set to protect our peace.

Welcome back to The Mood Swing Chronicles, where we spill the tea on mental health, mood swings, and the meds that keep us somewhat sane. In this episode, we’re talking all things “mind your business” energy — because our meds? Yeah… they’re not up for community discussion.

From dodging nosy questions to navigating wild mood moments (including a dramatic showdown with a chicken patty that refused to cook fast enough), we’re laughing through the chaos and owning our routines unapologetically.

It’s real, it’s relatable, and it’s a whole lot of “don’t worry about what’s in my pill bottle.”

Tune in and giggle with us — because healing doesn’t have to be heavy.

In our very first episode, we’re spilling the tea, the truth, and a little bit of our business. We talk about the day the diagnosis popped up like, “Hey girl, it’s me,” and how we were both confused, dramatic, and trying not to spiral. It’s giving friendship, honesty, a few laughs, and the real story behind how this whole journey started. Buckle up — we didn’t hold back.
