In this deeply personal episode, author, singer-songwriter, and designer Liz Gabriel opens up to host and attorney Michele Locke about being diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 50 after decades of emotional chaos, confusion, and hidden struggles. Liz reveals how bipolar disorder affected her marriage, motherhood, friendships, creativity, and self-worth, while sharing the hard-earned tools that help her stay stable today—therapy, medication, faith, routine, and radical honesty. She also speaks candidly about the lesser-discussed realities of bipolar disorder, including hypersexuality, oversharing, shame, and emotional impulsivity. Michele adds insight into how mental health is often weaponized in divorce and custody cases, and what courts actually look for when evaluating stability and treatment. Honest, vulnerable, and hopeful, this episode is a powerful conversation about healing, relationships, and reclaiming your identity after diagnosis. **DISCLAIMER** The information shared in this podcast is intended for entertainment purposes only.
