Bipolar Is Not a One-Size-Fits-All ~ Guest, Gabe Howard
Let's Talk Wellness - with Host, Mara James
There is an interesting tendency to look at bipolar through a ‘one-size-fits-all' lens but do you know any two people who are exactly alike? This week, Mara welcomes Gabe Howard for a conversation about his experience and history with bipolar disorder, and his finding what works for his recovery process, as well as helping others find what works for them – because bipolar is not a one-size-fits-all at all.
Gabe Howard is an award-winning podcast host, author, and sought-after speaker, but he wouldn’t be any of those things today if he hadn’t been committed to a psychiatric hospital and diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2003.
Gabe is the author of Mental Illness is an Asshole and Other Observations as well as the host of the Inside Mental Health podcast. Previous guests have included Dr. Phil and Jeannette McCurdy.
He has appeared on all four major news networks, ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX. In November of 2022, Gabe had the distinct honor of speaking at Oxford University in England. He is the recipient of Mental Health America’s Norman Guitry Award and received a resolution from the Governor of Ohio naming him an “Everyday Hero.”
Gabe makes his home in Central Ohio with his wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer that he never wanted, but now can’t imagine life without.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
