The lived experience podcast is about creating conversations around mental health and in particular stories surrounding growing up with a mental illness in the family. As a child of a single mother with BiPolar, I wanted to create interviews that would fill the content gap around this subject. Mental health awareness and advocacy goes far beyond depression and anxiety. I hope that these discussions shine a lot on issues you may not be aware of or even inform you to know that you are not alone. Make sure you subscribe or leave a rating to support the show.

Host
Hi, I am Joel Kleber the host and creator of the lived experience podcast. The goal of the podcast is to create more conversations on mental health that go beyond depression and anxiety. There is so much more to mental health! My experience is growing up with a single mother with Bipolar Disorder 1 and it was an experience, to say the least! However, I have always been frustrated by the lack of content that there is online regarding this and other mental illnesses. My show consists of interviews and also solo episodes where I recount experiences to really emphasise the point that you are not alone out there and many people are affected by mental illness in the family unit.
