Jessica Speaks on Receiving a Diagnosis of Bipolar, Depression, and Mania
Inspired by #BellLetsTalk day, I wanted to share a bit about my own mental health and personal development journey. In April 2020, shortly after the pandemic hit North America, in the stress and chaos of it all, I experienced a manic episode, was hospitalized for a few weeks, and received a diagnosis of Bipolar I Disorder.
I haven’t found a lot of pleasant, hopeful, and uplifting, resources out there about Bipolar, so I hope this can be both educational and also inspirational for you in your own mental well-being journey.
I will dive into what Bipolar is, how I experience it, and what others can do to support those who have it (or really any mental/emotional condition).
The definition I read on Bipolar is from the National Institute of Mental Health from the US and can be found here.
If you are in Manitoba, the Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba is a great first resource to educate and support you and your loved ones in mental health.
If you or someone you know is struggling with depression or self-harming thoughts reach out for support. To loved ones, trusted allies, your doctor, or the numerous helplines available, provincially and nationally. All else fails, there is always 911.

Hip Hop & Vulnerability with GeNie Baffoe
In this episode, I sit down with Winnipeg Hip Hop Dance Instructor (and legend) Genie Baffoe. I've taken a few of his classes with dancewgenie.com and he is the most charismatic, upbeat, make-you-feel-good-even-when-your-tripping-over-two-left-feet instructor I've ever had. So naturally, I had to interview him and find out what his secret was to being himself 100% of the time, loud and proud.
f you want to see more of GeNie and learn about the history of Hip Hop in Winnipeg, his premier documentary, Our Scene, premieres July 28th at the WAG. Tickets are on Eventbrite or at the door.

In Memory of Gwen Watson, My Mom.
My mom taught me to have a love for learning and to find joy in the little things. She was the wisest women I know. This episode is a very special recording of an interview with her last year. She shares her lessons from 30+ years in the education system. These wise words not only apply to teaching or to raising kids but to how you can approach life in general.
Please listen, share, and go hug a loved one.
