My Story - Bronnie Tressler

Thursday Oct 19, 2023

Thursday Oct 19, 2023

This is my story. In my early thirties with a baby and two year old I faced very difficult circumstances that brought on a bipolar episode. This was marked by a psychosis, depression, as well as anxiety. In this first podcast episode I share about my experience that included hospital care with my baby. I go on to describe the activities I participated in that helped me make a very good recovery. 
My story is told through a conversation with my close friend Bron Tait who journeyed with me. (We are the two Bronnies). Bron has expertise in the areas of mental health, both as a nurse and pastor. I so appreciate her wisdom and insights shared.
This episode gives the background for Reviving Hope. It’s a must listen.
This is just the beginning! There are excellent guests coming to inspire you - so don’t miss out.
