Ep103 - Kitt O'Malley: Finding Balance with Bipolar Disorder

Imagine being a young therapist who walked away from her career due to her own mental illness. As a mother and wife, Kitt O'Malley was confronted with that choice when she noticed a shift in behavior that was detrimental to herself and others. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, she shares more about the stigma between bipolar and depression that haunted her for two decades. How her psychotherapy background helped her show up powerfully for her son and his emotional well-being and some sage advice to parents when it comes to accountability.

What it means to successful. And a reminder from one perfectionist to another, you are enough.
