I decided I needed the first break of my lifetime, and I took a leave from my job .... and started a podcast. It started as a platform to share my story with Bipolar Disorder.... and then started turning into journal-style recordings of many experiences from my past, not only to do with my mental illness, but including so many other things with a lot of laughter and tears as I have been told my story-telling is beyond compare. Up until a few weeks ago, the podcast was going in one direction ... well, actually, numerous directions... but I thought I knew exactly where I was and where I would end up. Turns out.... after a bipolar depressive crash in early June .... I realized the entire podcast up until then ... was recorded in something called a \"Quiet Hypomanic\" episode of Bipolar Disorder. I was shocked, embarrassed, mortified ... and I almost deleted this entire thing, I could not even stomach the idea of listening back to even ONE episode .... But... Here I am. The dust has settled a bit .... I am not in that deep dark suicida…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-02T00:20:04.923907+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/h-o-p-e-hang-on-pain-ends-7671656"},"episode":{"title":"\"When Nothing goes Right...

I looked up ... and there it was ... I grabbed my phone and took a photo of it ... but I knew I would remember it no matter what. How clever .... \"When Nothing Goes Right...Go Left.\" The idea ... that if you are pushing and pushing and trying to make something work ... make something be the \"RIGHT WAY\" ... but it just keeps pushing back... this universe is telling you something. You can keep trying... you can keep pushing, or saving something that you feel should be saved .... a relationship ... a job... a friendship ... but in the end, the universe will make you go Left ... when you want to keep going Right .... whether you like it or not. I invite you the listener to picture this saying \"When Nothing Goes Right... Go Left\" on a STOP SIGN ... as you move through your upcoming days... Use it. Say it. Think It. ... DO IT. I think we could all use a few more Left Turns these days .... RIGHT??? Thanks for listening! Exciting things are coming up!!! Stick with me!!","meta_description":"The inspiration for this \"drive by\" entry ... was this little sign I saw in a gift shop recently ... I looked up ... and there it was ...
