The Ballin and Bipolar Podcast

The Ballin and Bipolar Podcast

This is NOT your 'BIPOLAR' Podcast! This is a podcast where we talk about success, stories, mental health, self development and ALL the opposites! You do not have to be bipolar to get something from these conversations. I am bipolar and have lived through it, but these conversations can help YOU! I focus on daily success strategies, belief systems, gratitude, goals and who YOU want to be. This is about taking ownership of your life in MANY different facets. If you want strategies on how to succeed, you want to stop playing the victim and take full control (over what we can control) in your life, this is the podcast for you. I want you to refocus your energy on your best next step. Ask these questions: Who do I want to be? What do I want to bring to the table that is my life? What is the current trauma or issue I need to get through in order to find that person? What is my BEST next step? We talk about healing, trauma, challenges of life, conflict and SO MUCH more! In a world of having problems, let’s be solution focused. If you are searching for a real talk podcast with some language, this is your spot. Let's be ballin... with a side of Bipolar. Can't wait for you to listen! *** Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, prescribing meds, diagnosing, or treating Bipolar. I am sharing my experiences with you. *** You should ALWAYS seek licensed medical and professional help from doctors and psychiatrists.

In this podcast today we're going to discuss not feeling good enough.

This can be a deep seeded issue from childhood, it can be how we feel as an adult from feeling excluded, left out (ETC)

I want to focus on 3 things you can stop and do any time you're not feeling good enough. 


  1. WHO - ask yourself who is making you feel like this. Is it you? Is it someone else? IF it's someone else, WHO is that? Is it someone s...

In this podcast today we're going to dive into the differences in human behavior for people who have a growth mindset vs a fixed mindset.


The bottom line:

People who have a fixed mindset get jealous of other's success, they don't take feedback well and don't believe in EFFORT to get better.


People in a growth mindset LOVE other's success, they LIVE to learn, they love challenges, they believe in EFFO...

In this episode today we're diving into what YOUR focus is, what YOU want vs what other people think you SHOULD want.

Sometimes it's so easy, to get lost in what other people want for us.
