    2024/01/10

    Welcome to a new, enlightening episode of Echoes of Empathy. Join us on a journey where we explore the depths of human connection, resilience, and the incredible power of empathy.

    In this inspiring third episode, we are honored to have a very special guest, Gina Chapman-Murphy, my ex-wife and a guiding light in my life. Our conversation today is not just a dialogue, but a transformative journey through the lessons we've both learned and lived.

    In a candid revelation, I open up about my lifelong struggle with addiction and the complexities of living with bipolar disorder type II, a diagnosis I received in 2018. This episode takes a deep dive into how my views on addiction have evolved, seeing it not as a genetic fate, but as a response to life’s traumas. This fresh perspective offers listeners a new understanding of addiction, promising a deeper exploration in our future episodes.

    For an in-depth look at bipolar disorder, we direct our listeners to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration website at ⁠www.samhsa.gov/mental-health/bipolar⁠.

    My journey through these challenges has been marked by a turn to stimulants, a path that led to a life-altering event. While the full story will be shared in a future episode, today's discussion shines a light on the hope and understanding that emerge from such trials.

    This episode aims to dispel the myths surrounding these conditions, offering insights into their nuances and challenging the stereotypes that often cloud their understanding.

    And then there's Gina. More than my ex-wife, she is a reservoir of wisdom and insight. As she gears up to launch her vlogcast 'Transitions', we delve into the harmony between spiritual faith and personal identity.

    Tune in to this heartwarming episode of Echoes of Empathy as Gina and I explore life's challenges and the beauty of enduring friendships. This episode promises not just a conversation but an experience that will resonate with your heart and soul.
