This week, we have a conversation that’s as raw as it is eye-opening—mental health activist and filmmaker Rosie Viva joins us for her first-ever interview about her upcoming book, Completely Normal and Totally Fine. Rosie opens up about her journey with bipolar disorder, from a life-altering moment at Stansted Airport to finding balance in the chaos. We dive into the unfiltered realities of mental health, the making of her documentary Modelling, Mania & Me, and how she’s using her platform to break down stigma. Plus, she shares never-before-heard details from her book, giving us an inside look at what it really means to live with bipolar disorder. This episode is deeply personal, refreshingly honest, and one you won’t want to miss.
