I never knew I suffered from bipolar until giving birth at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic launched me into a manic/psychotic episode and I was hospitalized for five days. Due to COVID, I was not allowed to visit with my daughter, who was two weeks old at the time, or anyone else.

To raise funds and awareness for postpartum psychosis, I am walking.

I'll be walking some miles alone, and reflecting about my journey with my mental health and the adventures of new motherhood.

I'll be walking some miles with others to hear their stories about their own journeys, similar and different.
