Reflections from "Crooked Illness" (feat. Paris Scobie)

How do you find the courage to share your story and transform the lives of others? Trigger warning: this episode mentions sexual assault, alcoholism, and psychiatric hospitalization. In this week's episode, Sarah is joined by a very special returning guest, Paris Scobie. Paris is the host of the top 2% globally ranked podcast called Live Well Bipolar ™ and best selling author of her memoir, "Crooked Illness: Lessons from Inside & Outside Hospital Walls." Paris was first diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder at 19 and went back to work at the same hospital she was a patient at when she was 22. She is a speaker for NAMI and has been featured on ABC15, bphope magazine and over 50 podcasts sharing her experiences living with bipolar and how it is possible to Live Well Bipolar ™. Join these ladies as they discuss Paris' journey with managing bipolar disorder, how she developed her podcast and book, what she learned from writing her book, and her reflections after two years of sharing powerful anecdotes from her best selling memoir.
