Thank you for including my mentor, Dr. Walker Karraa. She has been an enormous inspiration to me, and I'm thrilled to share with you that she'll be writing the foreword to my upcoming book, "Birth of a New Brain - Healing from Postpartum Bipolar Disorder". I couldn't ask for a more brilliant person to do this.
ReplyDeleteThank you for choosing this most worthy topic for your 150th episode! I've been hoping you'd do it for some time now, and you made me very happy.
All my best, Dyane Leshin-Harwood, Consumer Advisory Council Member/Blogger, International Bipolar Foundation, Contributor, Stigmama.com, Member, International Society of Bipolar Disorders

Thanks for your kind words, Dyane. I was so thrilled to have Walker as a guest as she is a mentor of mine as well. I would love to hear more about your book, it sounds right up my alley! Best, ~Dana*
DeleteHi Dana! Thank you so much for this comment - I really appreciate it. I'm halfway through completing my book, and Walker is a huge source of inspiration and encouragement. I just actually pre-ordered *her* book from Praeclarus Press "Transformed by Postpartum Depression".
DeleteMy PPBD story, in a teeny, tiny nutshell, is in Postpartum Progress' archives. (I posted the link below) & it's the basis for my book. If you wish to be kept posted about "Birth of a New Brain" I encourage you to subscribe to my blog www.proudlybipolar.wordpress.com. Thanks again, Dana, and I wish you a wonderful day! :) take care, Dyane
