Chérie and Anthony: A Family Diagnosis

Sage in Time: The Podcast

In this episode, Derek is joined by his VR workout friend, Chérie, and her son Anthony, as they both share their own different experiences with the same diagnosis. Anthony shares his experience as the oldest of Chérie's children in caring for his siblings during Chérie's early years with her mental health journey. Chérie accepts Anthony's recollection of experiences and his feelings about his experiences and Anthony shares empathy with his mother in a way that he, as an adult with Bipolar is more cognitively and emotionally familiar with. They dialogue throughout the episode and even ask each other questions to gain better understanding and offer compassion to each other - and the listeners and I get to experience the love they share for each other. Check out their podcast at Apple Podcasts or Spotify Podcasts among others.
