Where’s My Mind is a podcast where mental illness is discussed with the same candor as sex during a Sex and the City brunch scene, but with more diverse and inclusive participants. Kimberly Rolfs and Rena Barch met while learning to make coffee, not realizing that latte art would become the pathway to frank discussions about everything from depressive episodes to avoiding talking truth to their therapists. In this long-form podcast, we discuss the the highs, the lows, and the very real in-between.

2. Where's Alex's Mind? - Alex Hughes on Bipolar Disorder, Manic Episodes, Being Hospitalized, Healthy Coping Mechanisms, and Dealing With Mental Illness In Relationships

Actor, writer, and director Alex Hughes joins us for our first guest episode (!!) to talk about his bipolar II diagnosis, how hypomania and mania differ, what it was like spending a night in the psych ward, finding healthy coping mechanisms, how the way you act in therapy mirrors how you act in life, and his hesitation around going on medication. Also, Rena talks to Alex and Kim about their friendship and creative partnership, how dealing with mental illness helped their friendship evolve, and how they went from a toxic and codependent relationship to one in which they both support each other's mental health (spoiler alert: a LOT of communication).
