Eps. 33 - Taylor Lee discusses Bipolar Disorder & how painting has changed her life.

** Content Warning: This episode includes mentions of eating disorders & anxiety disorders**

**Warning: We are FAST talkers! You might want to set your speed back a smidge. Sorry! <3

I'm so excited to share today's episode with painter and mental wellness advocate, Taylor Lee!

Taylor is an incredibly passionate painter who uses who's her mental illness as a catapult to grow not only her business but her outlook on life as well!

She uses her bipolar disorder as an important component in her creative process. She sees the world through the ever twisting kaleidoscope of mania, experiencing extreme periods of high energy regularly as a result of bipolar disorder. Still, Taylor finds ways to bring the reality of a stigmatized mental illness into a celebratory light, creating paintings that are buzzing with energy, movement, and loud colors.

Listen in as we discuss learning how to communicate in marriage when you're struggling with mental illness, overcoming a battle with anorexia and the amazing ways to grow your business by following your dreams!

Eps. 25 - Don't feel pressure to have babies!!! (Pep Talk)

”All of my friends are having babies right now, and I feel like I’m supposed to have one now.”

While visiting one of my favorite coffee shops recently, someone playing with Ollie said to me…

”All of my friends are having babies right now, and I feel like I’m supposed to have one now.”

I pretty much said exactly this podcast to her to encourage her NOT to feel pressured!! Just in case there somewhere out there who also feels pressured, either by her friends, her age, her family, or just because she’s married, I thought it would be the perfect first minisode pep talk. <3
