As an international best-selling author of "Radical Self Love," Carey's work is deeply rooted in her mission to dismantle the stigma surrounding mental health. She courageously opens up about her own battle with bipolar disorder, sharing the challenging journey of hospitalizations. Her second hospitalization following the loss of her sister to breast cancer and her moving forward with her own wedding a month following that loss.
