Structuring Chaotic Minds
Welcome to Structuring Chaotic Minds: A Show Focused on Balancing Mental Wellness & Life. Created for individuals just like you and me who struggle with anxiety, being overwhelmed, and balancing life due to mental health. I'm your host Melissa Franklin. I am a leadership and development coach who suffers from the amazing combo of Bipolar I disorder and ADHD. And yes, some people think I’m crazy, but I'm still crushing my goals. So, I'm on a mission to amplify the voices about our situations, share critical knowledge and information with our family & friends, and help remove the social BS about mental health and mindsets. Join me and my expert guests as we venture through our wonderful world of well…EVERYTHING! Between careers, finances, and even physical health, all the way down to your own personal self-care support groups and mental health. Let's go!
