Episode 9 - Bipolar and Me ft. Rebecca Le

Author of autobiography, Sweet and Sour: The Life of Bipolar Asian American Woman, Rebecca N Le shares her experience living with a mental illness. One of her lifelong goals is to be an advocate for mental health awareness in the Asian community. Having experienced mental health challenges first-hand, Rebecca hopes she can bring light into this highly stigmatized subject in her community.

The daughter of Vietnam War refugees, Rebecca grew up in Houston, Texas, and was diagnosed with Type 1 Bipolar Disorder shortly after her high school graduation. Her book details her experience with being hospitalized at 18 years old, and the struggle her family went through in understanding the reality of mental health challenges.

Today, Rebecca lives in Austin, Texas, where she works for a highly successful Fortune 40 company. She is adamant about not letting her illness keep her from being accomplished, and wants others to do the same.

You can find her book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other book sellers, and keep up with her blog at rebeccale.com.
