In this powerful episode of From Darkness to Life, Ryan sits down with Stacey Bleemaster, a mental health advocate, author, and licensed professional counselor. Stacey shares her deeply personal journey through bipolar disorder, clinical depression, and the struggle of living with an “as if” personality—where she felt like she was constantly performing rather than truly being herself.
Through conventional treatment and unconventional healing methods, including Emotions Anonymous (a 12-step program for emotional wellness), Stacey found a path to authenticity and resilience. She opens up about reframing her experiences, embracing spirituality, and shedding the mask she once wore to fit in.
Tune in for an insightful conversation on self-discovery, mental health, and the transformative power of peer support.
