Trigger Warning: This video contains talk about suicidal ideation and suicide attempts.
This week I'm joined by AJ Mendez. AJ is a bestselling author, mental health advocate and ambassador for NAMI, and a former pro-wrestler. You may know AJ best from her time in WWE under the ring name AJ Lee. Most recently AJ has joined the WOW – Women of Wrestling promotion as an executive producer.
I felt a sweet connection with AJ, my sister in Bipolar. She’s a real kind and genuine person who is about to conquer the world. We talk about being Bipolar, the time leading up to her diagnosis, being a suicide survivor as well as her wrestling career and what’s she’s working on now.
I definitely recommend reading "Crazy Is My Superpower: How I Triumphed by Breaking Bones, Breaking Hearts, and Breaking the Rules which is at booksellers nationwide.
