Is it possible to juggle creative dreams with the realities of mental health challenges and self-employment? Join me, Lauren, as I unravel my current journey through a rocky start to 2025, marked by illness and depression, and how it's shaping my artistic and professional life. I lay bare the struggles and triumphs of managing bipolar disorder while keeping my creative passions, like music and podcasting, alive. As I gear up to re-enter the structured world of a day job, I share my hopes for how it might help harmonize my personal projects, offering structure without stifling creativity.

I open up about the tightrope walk of balancing depressive lows with bursts of creativity, and the constant battle to avoid past patterns of self-sabotage. Together, we explore the potential for rebranding and expanding the Mostly Mental Mom podcast, weaving in insights from friends and my supportive online community. I also discuss my intention to evolve my online presence without losing the essence of who I am. This episode is not just a personal update; it's a heartfelt invitation to witness the journey of balancing creativity with stability, celebrating small victories, and advocating for mental health.

Show up friends!
