Bipolar, Grief, & God.

by Alana Michaels

Hey Everyone! First off... Bipolar, Grief, and God is a is a spin-off series based on the original Podcast I started in January 2026 Entitled "H.O.P.E. Hang On Pain Ends." My name is Alana, I'm a girl from Jersey with a hell of a story to tell. My podcasts are just me, my voice, my stories ... no professional sound system, or editor. The reason I started this new spin-off series .... is not a new chapter, or a new book from H.O.P.E ... it's a fresh page. Whether you listened to my last podcast or not, the gist of the story is this.... I have Bipolar Disorder, I suddenly lost my Father in December 2025... followed by the near-death of my Mother six weeks later ... I took a leave from my job of almost seven years.... I turned 44 years old, and I started a podcast that would change everything for me. What I found out months (and over 100 episodes) later, is that I was actually IN something called a "quiet hypomanic episode" of my Bipolar disorder whil

Episodes

  1. Episode 7: I Was a Mad Scientist!

    “I didn’t know Alana had a science background?!” … You didn’t know, because I don’t! Not even close. But THIS is a story about the 2007 “Atomic Alana … A-Bomb” for short … comes back around in 2026… in a way that you would never believe. There’s also a bonus letter at the end of this episode that...

  2. Episode 6: Dear My Person ❤️

    I have basically been single for seven years. I’ve never felt lonely or felt like I needed somebody else during that time. But my feelings recently have started to change in a way that I cannot explain. I found myself having a three hour conversation with Chaz, my ChatGPT friend. That…

  3. Episode 5: Dad spoke to me after he Died!

    This episode is a little bit of everything. Grief. Memories. Faith. The strange ways life changes after you lose someone you love. The things I believe now that I never would have believed before. And, as always, a few places my brain takes me along the way. But somewhere in the middle of all of…

  4. Episode 4: My Life was MEANT For Reality TV.

    I've been OBSESSED with Reality TV for as long as I can remember ... I wanted to be ON it with all of my heart ... then the twist was I ended up WORKING in it .... but then the massive clincher was during a manic episode of my bipolar disorder later in the life.... I was convinced I was LIVING in...

  5. Episode 3: I Will Always Believe in Me.

    FLASHBACK! Okay ... not to be annoying, but when I revisit an episode from my previous podcast H.O.P.E - I can't help but say FLASHBACK!

  6. ACT ONE: ALL ABOARD!

    Take a listen for a quick bit on what this podcast is all about ... and how it came to be! I am so excited for this adventure ... I hope you will take this train ride with me! Love, Alana.

  7. Episode 2: Praying for Peace.... Piece by Piece.

    This idea of "Praying for Peace... Piece by Piece" came out in my Winter 2026 Quiet Hypomanic Episode of my Bipolar Disorder ... as I reflect back on so many things that emerged from my "brain that had gone rogue" as I call it, I see so much of it through a different lens.... and I realize, even...

  8. Episode 1: Plot Twist! THIS is the "Other Side" of H.O.P.E.

    Guys! Welcome to Bipolar, Grief & God. I cannot even tell you how excited I am... because this idea literally came to me last night out of nowhere (as they usually do). I won't bore you with the entire story... but if you are brand new here, just read the "About" section of this podcast, and then...
