ABOUT JOURNEY IN BLOOM

Hi! I'm Shara,
a mental health advocate.
Let's be honest, mental illness can be a lonely journey. I'm passionate about advocating mental health because I am a mental illness survivor.
I was diagnosed with a severe case of Bipolar in 2006. In the almost two decades of managing my illness, I have endured eight hospitalizations. I've experiences the ups, downs and confusion regarding this illness firsthand. I remember searching for something or someone to relate to in the early years of my journey and finding nothing.
​
Through years of self-care, self-awareness and unwavering determination, I have now been episode free for eight years. Today, I am a single mother raising teenagers, an entrepreneur, and proof that healing is possible.
​
My mission is to normalize mental illness, help those suffering to feel less alone and inspire those feeling broken to bloom.
​
Just as the lotus pushes through mud and mire and blooms in beauty, you too can rise from this adversity and shine.
​
I encourage you to join me in the Journey in Bloom!
​
