This podcast is Pt 1 (of 2 parts) in a tribute to legendary actress and mental health advocate, Patty Duke. Through reenactments of scenes from her bestselling autobiography, Call Me Anna, we unpack 2 vital lessons for people fighting mental illness and those who love them! What's more impressive than her resume (Broadway star at age 12, Oscar winner at 16, her own TV show at 17, etc.) is all the adversity Duke has overcome, which may come as a surprise to many. With or without bipolar disorder, her life would be a diffcult one by any standard. When you hear the Flipswitch tribute, you have no choice but to be filled with HOPE!
