Moments of Clarity – My Inaugural Debut On The Radio

November 9, 2017, at Noon Eastern time, was my inaugural debut on the radio show, Moments of Clarity.

I had the distinct pleasure and honor of speaking with Tiffany Werhner. She hosts Moments of Clarity, on her weekly radio show. I spoke with Tiffany about living with bipolar disorder and how to help educate others.

I must admit, I was extremely nervous. This was my first time on the radio. It is interesting because I have spoken in front of large groups of people. Talking on the radio gave me more anxiety than in-person public speaking.

All that anxiety went away when I began my discussion with Tiffany. She put my anxiety at ease. Plus, I had a blast! I am already looking forward to my next radio speaking engagement!

I like how her program focuses on telling each person’s own story. It is such a great way to educate others and stomp out stigma.

Like Tiffany, I try to educate others about mental illness. That is one reason I write my blog. I hope to help others who have bipolar disorder manage their illness and empower them to lead their own lives. I also hope to enlighten those who are caregivers, family, friends, medical professionals, or anybody who is just curious about bipolar disorder.

To be honest, I never really thought I would do any sort of public speaking regarding bipolar disorder. That goes for in-person or on the radio. However, I have shifted my future focus and I hope to do more.

In-person speaking and radio are both fantastic platforms to spread the word about mental health, educate, enlighten, and provide support for those in need.
