Such a valuable story that Susan shares here. So thankful for featuring her courageous story of prioritizing mental health on the Master Your M.E.N.T.A.L podcast. Susan is resilient and a beautiful example of what shattering the stigma looks like. I hope you gained as much value as I did from listening to the obstacles Susan has overcome to help others overcome challenges they face related to bipolar disorder.
