Laughing Through the Dark

What if the very thing that broke you… could become the thing that helps you heal?In this episode of The Story Seat, we sit with Dave Mowry—a comedian, author, and mental health advocate who shares his journey of living with bipolar disorder and severe anxiety, and what it really felt like to lose years of his life to it.But this isn’t just a story about struggle—it’s a story about transformation. About the unexpected moment that led him to a stand-up comedy class, and how stepping onto a stage became the beginning of finding his way back to himself.Through honesty, vulnerability, and even humor in the hardest places, Dave opens up about turning pain into something powerful—not just for himself, but for others walking similar paths.Because sometimes, healing doesn’t come in silence…sometimes, it sounds like laughter in the dark.
