Podcast appearances and mentions of Barbara K Lipska

The saying ‘I'm losing my mind' couldn't be truer for my next guest. This week I am speaking with Barbara K. Lipska, a Neuroscientist who was diagnosed in 2015 with metastatic melanoma in her brain's frontal lobe. As the cancer progressed and was treated, she experienced behavioural and cognitive symptoms connected to a range of mental disorders, including dementia and her professional specialty, schizophrenia. Gradually, after a course of immunotherapy, Barbara returned to normal functioning and amazingly recalled her experience – even writing a memoir entitled ‘The Neuroscientist who Lost her Mind: My Tale of Madness And Recovery'. A tale like no other— I am honoured to speak with Barbara about returning home to her true self after her brush with insanity.  Quotes “100% of people die with this illness when this spreads to the brain— so it's tragic as you can imagine.” [4:41] “I'm alive and that's the most important thing.” [18:34] “Live in the moment because you don't know what will happen to you.” [26:12]  Notes Barbara's background [2:15] Barbara's illness [3:50]  The impact of her illness [10:05] The journey of healing [15:48] How to approach mental illness and its effects [20:45] Key lessons learnt [23:47] The future and moving on [28:15] Closing thoughts [34:40]  Gillian Socialshttps://fullcircleglobal.comhttps://www.instagram.com/the.master.coach/  https://www.facebook.com/GillianMcMichaelMasterCoachhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/gillian-mcmichael/https://www.linkedin.com/company/full-circle-development-consultancy/https://www.facebook.com/fullcircleglobal/ Barbara Socialshttps://www.barbaralipska.comRead “The Neuroscientist who Lost her Mind”: https://www.amazon.com/Neuroscientist-Who-Lost-Her-Mind/dp/1328787303
