Conversations about Bipolar and the Workplace Part 1 with Brandon @therealbruss

Part 1 of ‘conversations about bipolar & the workplace’ with returning favourite, rapper and content creator Brandon @therealbruss.

In this episode, mental health advocates, Shaley and Brandon talk about how living with bipolar has and continues to affect their experiences with work. They talk about their very first jobs, loss of jobs and ideas to help manage symptoms at work. Shaley and Brandon didn't realize how much they needed to be seen and heard by another person walking a similar path. They were so immersed in conversation that it is a long one so it is coming out in two parts. Shaley and Brandon hope starting this hard conversation will educate, comfort and validate others.
