REUNION Conversation with Julie Kraft, author of "The Other Side of Me" & "Tilda Whirl"

This episode is a REUNION conversation with mental health advocate, artist, author and the bipolar bestie original co-host JULIE KRAFT! It is a powerful and heartwarming episode as forever friends Shaley and Julie reunite talking about all the things bipolar!!!!
Julie gives us a deep dive into the ups and downs this past year. She bravely shares with us her grief around losing her dad. It was such compelling convrsation. I loved learning new things about Julie and hearing how she is managing her bipolar disorder through it all.
As always, Julie showed up as her real, vulnerable and wonderful self. We even get some not-yet-shared-on-the-internet updates about her current TILDA WHIRL BOOK!!!!!! This conversation was balm to my weary soul. Julie is one of my absolute favourite bipolar besties and I cannot wait for you to hang out with us for our reunion convo.

Welcome back Julie, its good to hear you two again continuing the education and support. In a way it should be almost compulsory instruction at school level so people are aware and respectful of all of our uniquenesses (is that a word?)

[@thisisbipolar]

Yes! love that. Thanks for watching.

What are your thoughts on Psilocybin for bipolar? There seems to be a lot of interest in this now for the treatment of mental illness. I'd appreciate your views on this
