  • UPDATED BIWEEKLY

Candid conversations between a mother and her son; both navigating life with bipolar. Our unique perspectives- spanning generations, gender, and experiences- shed light on the challenges faced by someone who's learned to manage bipolar without much support, compared to another navigating similar waters with access to better tools and support. It's about our parallel journeys, the hurdles we've faced, and the different paths we're taking to live well despite the diagnosis.
