The 1% Better Podcast – Bipolar Barbie – Finding the Balance & Building a life after the war – EP86
Bipolar Barbie is a mental health advocate. She tells her story through her writing, art, and rapping, and uses social media as a platform for this. She has built up a very large following on Instagram and recently has started to build up a following on other platforms.
During the interview, Bipolar Barbie talks very openly about this disorder, how it’s had a huge impact on your life, how she’s started to deal with it, and how she’s been able to use social media to inspire others that are suffering with mental health issues.
I was fascinated to learn about the disorder, how to manage it, the triggers and how Barbie used creativity to help deal with the challenges she faces. She didn’t hold back or disappoint. I am sure you’ll leave this episode more than 1% Better informed on this very serious disorder.
