Tune into the very first episode of Season 4 of Distressed to Joyful; Bailey's Way to hear about the updates and fun, new things to expect throughout this season. Additionally, I take the time to discuss how un-alone we are in our struggles with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety and a host of other mental health diagnoses. Mental health is a topic that is talked about a lot more these days, but the more awareness we can bring about it, the better.

My wonderful photographer-turned-friend, Darrell Williams of 713 Photo Focus, took all of these amazing photos for the Season 4 photoshoot! As mentioned in this episode, I created both the silver sequin jacket and black sequin romper that I'm wearing and the photoshoot commenced so that I could create the fabulous new cover art for this season of the podcast. All of these photos were taken at Smither Park in Houston, TX.

Speaking of cover art... Below you'll see the cover art for each of the past 3 seasons of Distressed to Joyful; Bailey's Way. You can learn more about why I change the artwork each year by tuning into Season 3, Episode 3: The Changing of the Seasons.
