I am SO freaking excited to have a GUEST on today's episode of the Say Yes To You Podcast! Today I am talking to Desire Clayborn, a fitness coach and mental health warrior fighting back Bipolar Type II. In this episode Desirae talks about how her mindset on "what healthy looks like" has changed immensely over the past year of her life. We dive into her unique transition from a fitness influencer to a body positive mental health influencer, and how it is MORE THAN OKAY to change your mindset about things in life! Desirae talks about going in one direction in life, realizing it's not serving you and it's not for you, and then making a pivot and changing your direction. One thing that makes Desirae's story unique is that she gained some weight from her mental health medication; but instead of allowing that to overcome her, she allowed it to EMPOWER her to embark on a NEW journey of self love and female empowerment. Desirae now works out to FEEL good, not to LOOK good. She talks about using personal development audio books, self love affirmations and MORE to love the skin she is in. We also talk Bipolar Disorder, WHAT that is, and what the differences are between Bipolar Type I and Bipolar Type II. Desirae talks about her personal experience living with Bipolar Type II, and I chime in with some personal notes of my own recent thoughts and experiences of living with Bipolar Type II as well. This is just scratching the surface of all of the GOODNESS that this episode has in store! I hope you like it! // Thank you so much for listening and stopping by my fifth episode!
