Description
This is NOT your 'BIPOLAR' Podcast!
This is a podcast where we talk about success, stories, mental health, self development and ALL the opposites!
You do not have to be bipolar to get something from these conversations.
I am bipolar and have lived through it, but these conversations can help YOU!
I focus on daily success strategies, belief systems, gratitude, goals and who YOU want to be.
This is about taking ownership of your life in MANY different facets.
If you want strategies on how to succeed, you want to stop playing the victim and take full control (over what we can control) in your life, this is the podcast for you.
I want you to refocus your energy on your best next step.
Ask these questions:
Who do I want to be?
What do I want to bring to the table that is my life?
What is the current trauma or issue I need to get through in order to find that person?
What is my BEST next step?
We talk about healing, trauma, challenges of life, conflict and SO MUCH more!
In a world of having problems, let’s be solution focused.
If you are searching for a real talk podcast with some language, this is your spot.
Let's be ballin... with a side of Bipolar.
Can't wait for you to listen!

TO NOTE: EVEN IF YOU DO NOT CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS - THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU! This Christmas Eve, I want to slow everything down and sit with you for a moment — not to talk goals, not to push, not to hustle… but to honor the fact that you made it. Through the highs, the lows, the burnout, the breakthroughs, and every messy middle in between — you kept going. And before we step into a new year with new expectations, we need to pause and acknowledge the strength it took just to reach this day. 🧘♀...
We’re only in the first quarter of your journey — so why are you comparing your progress to someone who’s already in their fourth? In this episode, I break down the real reason comparison steals our joy and stalls our growth. Whether it’s fitness, career, mental health, or personal development, too many of us look at someone else’s highlight reel and assume we’re falling behind… when really, we’re just early in the game. You’ll learn how to: Recognize when comparison is sabotaging your mindse...
Let’s talk about the lies we’ve all been told about mental health — and what’s actually true. In this episode, Phylecia breaks down six of the most common myths that keep people silent, ashamed, or afraid to get help. From the idea that mental illness is “rare” or “a sign of weakness,” to the misconception that therapy is just talking or that recovery isn’t possible — we’re busting through the stigma one truth at a time. Because mental health isn’t a flaw to fix — it’s a part of being human. ...
Here’s the truth — no one’s immune to bullying. Not even the confident ones. Not even the “cool” ones. In this episode, Phylecia shares a story about a strong, confident girl who was bullied simply for standing out — for having muscles, for being herself. The takeaway? Haters are gonna hate. Bullies will always find a target. But their words only stick if we let them. This episode is a reminder that real confidence doesn’t mean people won’t try to tear you down — it means they can’t touch you...
This Thanksgiving feels different — because gratitude means more when you’ve had to fight for your joy. In this heartfelt episode, Phylecia reflects on turning 37, what that day looked like, and why it wasn’t about perfection but pride — pride in the growth, the lessons, and the strength it took to get here. It’s a reminder that gratitude isn’t about everything being easy. It’s about seeing how far you’ve come, even through the messy, hard, and beautiful parts of life. Because when you’ve wal...
The holidays can be a beautiful season — but also the perfect storm for chaos, stress, and slipping out of routine. Before life starts running you, this episode is your reminder to slow down, set intention, and protect your peace. Phylecia breaks down the do’s and don’ts of staying aligned before the holidays hit: ✅ Keep your diet, sleep, and exercise steady. ✅ Set a budget and stick to it. ✅ Plan your days — write it down, use your calendar, and stay organized. Because when you lead with ...
Resistance is inevitable — whether it’s in your habits, workouts, or goals, life will always push back. But sometimes, the key isn’t to fight harder… it’s to find the path that makes sense for you. In this episode, I talk about learning to work with your natural rhythm instead of against it — choosing times, routines, and environments that support your growth rather than drain it. Because success isn’t about constant struggle — it’s about alignment, consistency, and doing the work when it mak...
In the words of Jocko Willink — when you’ve already set your intention and built your system, there’s no more overthinking to do. That’s the difference between motion and progress. In this episode, we’re breaking down the simplest (and most powerful) formula for actually getting things done: 1️⃣ Set the intention. 2️⃣ Write it down. 3️⃣ Build the plan. 4️⃣ Execute. Because when you skip this process, nothing moves. But when you commit to it — everything changes. MY B...
I have been thinking about doing this for awhile, and we did for the 101st episode. I want to reshare this episode since it's how we all got started. Here you will hear a story of how I got first diagnosed Bipolar. First we go into what was really going on in my life leading up to this, you will go inside my mind during mania. You will hear how I thought Dr. Phil's son was dressed up as a nurse at the hospital I was, how I thought Oprah was dressed up doign research on me because "I was going...
Every journey begins with a starting line — but how often do we hold ourselves back before we even take the first step? In this episode, I’m diving into the truth about starting, staying, and finishing: 🎯 Why commitment matters more than motivation in the beginning.🔄 How consistency becomes the engine that carries you forward.💪 Why tenacity is the difference between quitting and transforming.🚫 Why comparison is the thief of joy (and how to stop measuring your journey against someone else’s).I...
We made it — 100 episodes! 🎉 In this milestone conversation, I’m stepping back to reflect on the journey so far: what’s been going right, what’s been going wrong, and the messy middle in between. This isn’t a highlight reel — it’s a real-life check-in. I’ll share updates on my own life, lessons learned from building this podcast, and how I’m navigating the balance of resilience, routine, and joy along the way. Whether you’ve been here since Episode 1 or you’re just tuning in, this...
In this episode, we’re leaning into the season of change and uncovering seven simple ways to reignite joy in your everyday life. From unplugged walks and fresh hobbies to creating space for what you love, these practices help you slow down, reset, and reconnect with yourself. Here’s what we’ll cover: 🌳 Why device-free walks open the door to clarity and creativity.✨ How to notice the beauty woven into ordinary days.🎨 The power of starting a new hobby (and why it matters for your brain).📅 T...
In this podcast today we're covering goals, dreams and ACTION STEPS. So many podcasts can be about goal setting but what does that really mean? We need to: 1) Know the vision (the goal) - if you don't have the vision, I've given you journal prompts to find it 2) Set the intention - affirm what you're going to accomplish 3) Understand what your action step is that day / week - if you don't know what to do - speak to someone who does / research / chatgpt / there is info out there Then we will c...
Have you ever wished and prayed your kids would do or wouldn't do certain things? But when we really look in the mirror - where did they learn that? Maybe instead of praying FOR them, we pray for US so that they have someone to set the example. My niece and nephew are the kids in my life. I always say a prayer for them - but (once again) through walking, I came up with a question to myself... If you want these things for the kids - why don't you just do those things, become their mirror, thei...
This podcast is not about vaping, or not vaping.... (although if you do Vape, it is helpful) This podcast today is going to cover a few things I've found since I discovered walking. We take walking for granted, but I have been able to disconnect, focus internally with no distractions and ask hard questions. My challenge to you if you're not a "walker" - go for a walk everyday for 7 days, just 20 minutes then ask yourself these questions while you're walking: 1) What is the vision I have for m...
In this podcast I referenced Pat Flynn’s new book: Lean Learning. In a world full of information, knowledge and access, we get overloaded and never actually know what our ONE next step is. I’m going to story tell in the ways that information overload has come true in my own life, and what keeping it simple and focused can really accomplish. If you don’t know what your best next step is, talk to someone who has been where you are or who has achieved what you want achieve. Reverse engin...
In this podcast today we’re going to discuss NOT getting cocky, when we get cocky, we stop doing what was working - we fall - we then have to reset and climb back up. If you’re sitting here today and things are going well - keep doing what you’re doing - but continue to have these 3 things in place - Belief, discipline and consistency. If you’re sitting here today and you have fallen - focus on a good song, a pep talk and RESET! Then we figure out what went wrong, the plan to nail it or...
In this podcast today I’m going to sound a bit aggressive but it’s to HELP you - I promise! Talking to people struggling with Bipolar and people who have loved ones who struggle! I had someone reach out about her mom being in a manic episode and I want to give you my full method to how I’ve been able to contain Bipolar after being hospitalized in 2010. Meds, psychiatry and therapy are ALL part of the game - but it’s simply not the full solution, if it was - everyone on meds, in th...
In this podcast today, you're going to hear a bit of my story regarding how I "Collect" Data for my health and financial journey but this podcast is actually about showing up for YOU and what that really looks like. You do not have to be on a weight loss / health journey, I want you to listen to this podcast, and show up for yourself for 90 days and see what happens. Track your moves, make a promise to yourself and go do it. The problem is, we make promises to ourselves, then break those prom...
"Look at how far we've come so far" was a quote my best friend and I came up with while walking to our houses growing up. We lived in the country, so walking home was a bit of some distance to 8 year olds, but I love the mindset of that. That's what we're going to chat about on today's pod. We're a bit over halfway through the year so I want you to ask yourself - How far have I come? What have you been through that you can be proud to be here today? We're going to dive into 3 things you can d...
