Unmasking Sobriety and Mental Health
Welcome to The Unmasking Sobriety and Mental Health Podcast, where we are all “Completely Fine.”I’m your host, Louise Barnett—author of Tainted Love: A Bipolar Memoir and a Jay Shetty Certified Life Coach. I live with Bipolar I and found sobriety in 2021. Since then, I’ve been trying to figure out this whole thing called life—honestly, imperfectly, and out loud. Join me for candid conversations with people willing to go beyond the mask. Together, we explore mental health, sobriety, identity, and what it really means to survive. Not being ok, may just be "completely fine."
