Success is Subjective: Real People. Raw Stories. Embracing a Non-Linear Life!
Interviews of people who took a break from life at one point or another to get help, grow up, or just to reassess their life direction. Some guests struggled with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, a death in the family, or just decided college was not the place for them. These stories are all-to-real, and yet we don't talk enough about how common it is for those who took a gap year to defer college, went to college and took a break, or those who struggled launching into the workforce post-college graduation. This goes out to all the young adults and parents of young adults who are struggling and contemplating what will happen if they walk away right now.

Former Program Participant Series - Episode 306-Diagnosis, Detour, Determination: Cassie on Surviving & Thriving with Bipolar Disorder
On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special former participant series where she extends the opportunity for former participants to share their journey with others. Today’s former participant is Cassie. Cassie shares their experience navigating adolescence with a bipolar diagnosis, a prep school environment, and complicated treatment interventions that left them wary of the very systems designed to help them. Through candid reflection, they opens up about what it’s taken to rebuild trust — in professionals, in structure, and in themself. Their story is one of personal growth, hard-earned insight, and a gradual return to balance on their own terms.
NOTE: The podcasts in this series can include sensitive subjects such as suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, hospitalizations, psychotic episodes, and other traumatic experiences which include parts of the treatment journey. No topic is off limits and not all stories are positive but they are real, raw, and transparent.
