    In this episode, I sit down with Yitzy for an honest conversation about living with bipolar disorder in a world that often misunderstood him. We talk about being judged and not being met with compassion, even by the systems meant to help. Yitzy shares what it was like to carry his pain silently, the impact of not being treated with care by professionals, and through his honesty, we explore what it means to find hope in the darkest moments and to remember that you are never alone. In the end, it’s not about being understood by everyone. It’s about coming home to yourself and knowing you were never meant to do it alone.

    In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with Sarah as she bravely shares her story of being kidnapped by her father — a childhood stolen and a trust forever broken.
