Zak Sandler: The Composer Who Turned Bipolar Into a Creative Superpower.
About this episode
For many families around the world, conversations around mental health happen quietly — or not at all.
In this At the Podium episode, Broadway composer Zak Sandler reflects on growing up unaware that a bipolar condition ran through his family, and how shame and silence can sometimes delay understanding, healing, and acceptance.
This conversation is not simply the discussion around mental health, but the reminder that many of us carry things we were never taught how to talk about openly. And when finally have those tough conversations, healing and reconciliation can happen.
Listen. Reflect. Become.
