About

Dear Life Warriors, I want to dispel the myths on mental illness! Meet my friend,  Natasha Bowman, President of Performance-Renew, Attorney, Tedx Speaker, Published Author, Professor and she has Bipolar Disorder. Natasha shared in a recent post on Linked In, "This is the face of someone with Bipolar Disorder. When most people think of someone with mental illness, they often think of someone who shows visible symptoms. Because of the stigma we don't get the support we need" Overcoming mental health stigma is only one part of a larger effort to foster an organizational culture of psychological safety. That stigma prevents us from talking openly about mental health issues and prevents those who need help the most from seeking it.I had the pleasure of interviewing Natasha where she shared a little bit of her story and why it was important to let people know of her diagnosis. Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). You are not alone. Statistics shows that 1 in every 5 people suffer from this disorder and you do not have to suffer in silence.Subscribe to us on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DearLifeWarriorsPurchase my mind cleansing journal: https://www.30daystoanewyoujournal.comAbout Natasha Bowman:https://performance-renew.com/Recognized as a Top 30 Global Guru for Management, Natasha Bowman, JD, SPHR has labored to transform the American workplace from the inside out for nearly 20 years.
