Mental health is an extremely important to me, so you can imagine my excitement for today’s guest, Hannah Blum. Hannah is the author of Halfway2Hannah, a mental health blog and platform for openness about love, life and the things we go through on a daily basis.

Hannah is a mental health advocate living with bipolar disorder, and uses her platform as a way to share her own personal journey. By being open and raw with how her journey looks, she’s inspiring others to do the same, breaking the mental health stigma down each day. In this episode, Hannah and I have a beautiful conversation and I just didn’t want her to leave!
