What does it really mean to live with bipolar disorder—beyond the label?

In this special two-part episode of Hope Starts With Us, we hear from four voices who are reshaping how we understand bipolar disorder through lived experience, storytelling, and creativity.

From filmmaker Paul Dalio and NAMI Board of Directors Treasurer Barbara Ricci to NAMI Board of Directors First Vice President Dr. Devika Bhushan and author Sara Schley, this conversation explores:
• navigating diagnosis and recovery
• how creativity and purpose intersect with mental health
• what it takes to push back against stigma

As we approach World Bipolar Day, this episode is a reminder that mental health is not one story—it’s many.

Silence around mental health can cultivate stigma—even at work.

While many employees say it’s appropriate to talk about mental health in the workplace, stigma, fear, and uncertainty can still make those conversations difficult to start.

Creating space for open, respectful conversations can help build trust, reduce stigma, and support a healthier workplace culture for everyone.
