Mind Of Her Own

Julie talks to Toronto-based lawyer Beth Beattie who is one of the Friends of the Bell Let’s Talk campaign – Canadians from all walks of life sharing their personal stories about living with mental illness. Beth spent years hiding her Bipolar Disorder from almost everyone in her life - partly because she was worried about how clients and co-workers would treat her if they knew about her illness. But that all changed two years ago when she decided to open up to a couple of co-workers who were struggling with mental illness issues in their families. Beth knew she could help by sharing her experience – and so she did. And she hasn’t stopped talking since.   Connect with Beth Beattie: Bell Let’s Talk Team – Beth Beattie Resources mentioned: Bell Let’s Talk website All aboard, the Bipolar Express – Globe and Mail Mental Health in Motion – Canadian Mental Health Association Thanks for tuning in to Mind of Her Own – the podcast that gets inside a woman’s head!
