When you fall in love with someone, you're never thinking about mental illness. You're drawn in by energy, charm, chemistry — and in my case, all of that came with a hidden battle: bipolar disorder.
This is my deeply personal journey of being married to someone with undiagnosed bipolar — and how it changed everything. If you're navigating mental illness in your marriage or loving someone with a diagnosis, this podcast is your space to feel seen, understood, and supported.
On this podcast I share the whirlwind beginning of my relationship with my husband — how his magnetic energy and intense focus made me feel alive and unstoppable. But beneath the charm was a mental health struggle that would dramatically reshape our marriage.
This trailer sets the stage for I Married Bipolar, a podcast told from the perspective of the partner — raw, real, and rooted in love and resilience. I also speak to the community that’s grown around my story, and my mission to make sure no one feels alone with bipolar again.
