In this deeply personal episode, Jamie opens up about her journey to finally receiving a diagnosis of bipolar II—and how it changed everything. What once felt like a sentence became a map—a guide to understanding herself, her symptoms, her needs, and ultimately her healing.
She shares honest stories of misdiagnosis, emotional chaos, moments of clarity, and how her diagnosis helped her rebuild her identity and reconnect with her dreams. Jamie offers practical tools and powerful mindset shifts to help others use their diagnosis—whether bipolar or otherwise—as a path to self-discovery, not self-judgment.
If you've ever felt lost inside your own mind, or scared of what a label might mean, this episode will remind you: your diagnosis isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of finding your way home.

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
