Hey, I’m Gemma. Thanks for stopping by. This is Bipolar Mum Journey Podcast, a space where real stories matter. I'm creating a place for people to talk about their own experiences, especially those who might not usually get heard on bigger shows. I've had my own rough road too: I’m an ex-female prisoner, diagnosed with bipolar disorder and antisocial personality disorder in my 20's. This podcast is about honesty, connection, and sharing the parts of life that don’t always make the headlines.
Lou "TikTokTaxiChick" and Thomas "2AngryVets" discuss the challenges of content creation, addressing online hate, reverse discrimination, and the future of public discourse in an interview with the host.
