From Bipolar to Blissful with artist Lindsey Ridgeway
About the episode
“I think giving yourself that space to heal is important. So when I did start to heal and the little tiny spark that was my creativity turned into a candle flame and then turned into a house fire and now it's like it's lit up my entire life and I can't imagine my life without it.” — Lindsey Ridgeway
