Katherine Switz: Thriving With Bipolar Disorder - a podcast by Lara Dalch

Katherine Switz is founder and CEO of The Stability Network, a global coalition of people working together to change the narrative around mental health. She also serves as an advisor to local, national, and international mental health efforts. 

Prior to her work in mental health, Katherine gained business experience at McKinsey & Company and General Electric, held a variety of executive roles in the non-profit sector, and led economic development programs across Russia, India, and Africa for major international development organizations. Katherine received an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA from Dartmouth College. She lives with bipolar 1 disorder.

Katherine and I grew up together in Richmond, VA and recently reconnected when we ran into each other on the street in Seattle – after over 25 years of separate life paths. After learning more about Katherine’s story in our high school alumni magazine, I asked her to join me for a discussion about living – and thriving – with a mental health condition, the importance of self-care to managing her bipolar disorder, and the tools she uses that can help us all lead more present, fulfilled, and happy lives.
