GET YOUR COFFEE, GET YOUR DAY

In this episode, I am joined by Brit Bronson she is a mental health activist, entrepreneur, and creative. She is the Founder and CEO of spaceMVMNT, a community for mental and emotional wellness that inspires others to do good and feel good. The Space Movement Mind Series is a free peer-led support group, where I personally have spoken and shared my story.

Key points:

Brit Bronson’s misdiagnosis and the grey space this created, followed by her correct diagnosis and the mixed feelings that came with this.

Within her recovery journey after being correctly diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder and PTSD, Brit worried about what her life would look like after being diagnosed. She questioned how she would tell her friends if she would ever get a boyfriend and felt incredibly uncertain about the future.

How accepting her own diagnosis was her most freeing and empowering moment to date.

How we can all choose our words carefully to impact communities more positively.

Brit explains that bipolar 1 disorder is a chemical imbalance in the brain and together, we discuss what this means for her everyday life.

Brit’s appreciation for life and passion for helping others and how this helps her to suppress intrusive thoughts.

September is suicide prevention month so we discuss how we can ask and support our peers through difficult discussions.
