I WAS STUCK
Until I Learned How to Accept My Bipolar Diagnosis and I Transformed My Life in 1 Year.
I’ll be honest with you
Getting to that point wasn’t easy but
I KNEW THAT MY SILENCE FUELED MY SHAME. AND THAT SUCKS.
Becoming a published author and openly discussing my journey with bipolar disorder was anything but easy. Even accepting that I had a mental illness did not come without a fight (and a few hospitalizations).
For years, I struggled with the weight of stigma, fear of how people would see me, and my own internalized shame around what it meant to live with an illness that has such negative stigma.
There were so many moments when I thought, “Maybe it’s safer to just stay quiet.” To navigate this fear, I put pen to paper. It wasn’t just about writing; it was about owning my story unapologetically and learning to believe that bipolar disorder did not define me or who I was capable of being.
THAT IS WHY I CREATED THE LIFE’S TOO SHORT FOR SHAME COURSE
