Faith, Bipolar & Purpose — Lily’s Story

Is it possible to leave a high-pressure career, find deep stability, and turn a Bipolar diagnosis into a source of humility and growth? 🌱

In this episode of Bipolar Talk, Clément sits down with Lily Strachan, a former top-tier corporate lawyer turned university chaplain. Lily shares her raw and inspiring journey of navigating a psychotic episode while working on massive corporate deals 💼, facing the stigma of the legal world, and ultimately pivoting her life toward faith and community connection.


We dive deep into the intersection of spirituality and mental health 🧠, discussing how faith can provide "soul rest" when medication alone isn’t enough. Plus, Lily shares actionable strategies for setting strict boundaries at work—like her non-negotiable "10 PM to 8 AM" rule 🚫—to protect her sleep and sanity 😴.


If you are looking for hope, practical workplace advice, or a new perspective on the role of faith in recovery, this episode is for you. ✨
