On Episode 15 of You, Me, Empathy, I chat with singer-songwriter Sarah Jickling about Bipolar Disorder, the "crazy artist" stereotype, and our gifts vs. disabilities. Sarah shares her story about growing up surrounded by mental illness, childhood panic attacks, feeling like her family was cursed, misophonia, and how bipolar disorder has transformed her life and art.

You, Me, Empathy
On You, Me, Empathy, we explore the struggles, the triumphs, the brights and the darks we face as humans trying to be human on this wondrous and overwhelming pale blue dot.
You, Me, Empathy was created so that we can be witness to our collective humanity through the lens of empathy, vulnerability, and emotional curiosity. We aim to destigmatize mental health, lead fiercely with our hearts, feel our feelings without shame and judgment, and share our courageous stories so that others may feel less alone and more connected as feely humans.
You, Me, Empathy is a brave place designed to inspire the beauty in each of us, because each of us, in all of our kaleidoscopic parts, makes up a magical whole that deserves to be seen.
