In this episode, my boyfriend shares his thoughts and experiences about being with and loving someone with a mental illness. Nothing about this conversation was scripted and his answers were surprising to me (in a good way). It was also an avenue for improvement, progress, and hope.
This episode is definitely one of the most special ones. It is my hope that as you listen to this, you will appreciate all the people who support your mental health journey. Remember that you are loved!

For several years, I had a personal blog. Last year, I decided to unpublish it because of reasons I'd rather keep to myself. But some of the posts there are too precious for me to tuck away. So I figured to turn my favorite ones into a podcast. In this episode, I share to you a piece I wrote about mania. Follow me on IG: @rapidfiringwithashley
For several years, I had a personal blog. Last year, I decided to unpublish it because of reasons I'd rather keep to myself. But some of the posts there are too precious for me to tuck away.

But even during those times, we can still be in motion. In this episode, I discuss what I do when I'm faced with not knowing what to do. Follow me on IG: https://instagram.com/rapidfiringwithashley
