When Samantha was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, she felt alone and afraid. Suddenly, the mountains and valleys of her life made much more sense.


After struggling to navigate her complicated experience alone, she decided she didn't want anyone else to go through what she did. She went online, and founded a Bipolar Support Group.


"Beautiful Purpose: A Bipolar Community," has grown to over eight thousand members from all over the planet, and an official nonprofit business.


Samantha is now an official life-coach, and champions members of her Bipolar community, to bring them resources and assistance, help them navigate and understand their experiences, and offer a listening ear.


She lets them know, that "you are not alone," and "you can do this!".
