I was honored to appear on the Wellness Podcast, hosted by Jack Hodgins. This podcast delves into the most pressing topics around health, talking with leading experts and those with lived experience.

In this episode, I talked about my book, Lost Marbles, as well as how bipolar impacted me as a young person, why those with bipolar disorder sometimes self-harm, how family members can support those who self-harm, the advances in medicine for bipolar disorder, the difficulty in finding the right medication, and how finding stability has improved my life.
