About this episode

Breana Grayson discusses living with bipolar disorder, the importance of stability, and the need for workplace support and education.

What Stability Really Requires: Breana Grayson on Bipolar Disorder, Stigma, and Support at Work Amy Pons hosts Women Making Moves and interviews writer Breana Grayson about living with bipolar disorder, what “stability really requires,” and the stigma and misunderstandings that still surround bipolar (“one of the ‘scary ones’”). Breana explains that medication is essential for her but not sufficient; stability also involves therapy, psychiatric care, consistent sleep, exercise, diet, and enjoyable practices like writing, guitar, and “therapy based kind of yoga,” and she defines stability as moving through life without derailing relationships or work. They discuss how menstrual cycles can affect symptoms, Breana’s use of cycle tracking and astrology to document patterns, and her diagnosis process at 25 through an intensive outpatient program after work and relationship difficulties. Brianna argues remote and flexible work are not favors but protect productivity, and she advocates proactive workplace support, education, and community so people don’t handle bipolar alone. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:47 Stability and Root Chakra 01:22 Bipolar Stability Routine 02:22 Redefining…
