United States6 months ago - I look forward to every new episode!
Such a good podcast. Ever since I was diagnosed with BD, I felt in my bones that this was something much deeper than just having to take a pill to correct. Very empowering podcast where you can finally feel that the solution is in your own hands and not in some doctor. Such interesting guests and I absolutely adore the wholistic take on this "disorder"(things not being in order). How true. Thank you Michelle🙏
