What happens when you choose yourself completely and unapologetically after a lifetime of putting others first? Welcome to My Beautiful Bipolar Life, an unfiltered journey through mental wellness, rescue animal adventures, food obsessions, passionate activism, and the transformative power of travel.

Just back from exploring the Pacific Coast Highway, I'm ready to dive deep into what it means to live authentically with bipolar disorder while refusing to be defined by it. You'll get to know Teddy, my spirit animal. I'll share how Old Man Fred's bucket list not only changed my life but inspired an entire community, demonstrating how our connections with animals can heal us in unexpected ways.

Travel is my medicine—my way of growing beyond the limitations of hometown thinking. From impromptu lunches in Palm Beach to journeys that build empathy through exposure to different cultures, languages, and cuisines, I explore how wandering helps manage mental health. This podcast doesn't shy away from politics or controversy; we stand firmly for equality and human rights, using privilege as a platform for advocacy rather than comfort. Most importantly, we challenge the notion that those living with mental illness are somehow broken. We are executives, doctors, lawyers, and parents—multidimensional humans fighting for lives outside the brains that try to control us.

Today marks a turning point—the end of cycles dictated by generational trauma and the beginning of the life I was always meant to live. Join me every Tuesday as we navigate this beautiful, messy existence together, saying all the things people tell us not to. If you believe in radical honesty, finding joy despite chaos, and standing up for what's right even when it's uncomfortable—this podcast is for you.
