From Breakdown to Belly Laughs: A Journey from Bipolar Struggle to Laughter and Acceptance

Krystal B. Clark Season 3 Episode 35

What happens when life throws you a plot twist you never saw coming? Join Krystal and best-selling author, mental health blogger, and stand-up comic Dave Mowry as he shares his extraordinary journey from successful businessman to homelessness and back to purpose—through the power of storytelling and humor.

💥 Success to Rock Bottom:
Dave was a thriving businessman until a mental breakdown took everything—his career, his home, and his ability to function for 14 years. But what seemed like the end was actually the beginning of something even greater.

🌱 Finding Purpose in NAMI:
Encouraged by his wife, Dave attended a National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) meeting, a decision that changed everything. What started as seeking support turned into a mission to help others by sharing his story, first as a volunteer, then as a full-time advocate.

🎤 Healing Through Humor:
Dave took his story to the stand-up comedy stage, learning how to turn his struggles into laughter. Now, he teaches and performs, proving that even the hardest moments can be met with a punchline.

This episode is a must-listen if you need a dose of inspiration, resilience, and a few laugh-out-loud moments! 🎧✨
