In this episode of Bootleg Miles, JP opens up about something far harder than finishing a grueling 100-mile mountain bike race: asking for help with his mental health. As a teacher, filmmaker, and endurance athlete living with Bipolar Disorder, JP reflects on the fears that held him back from getting help — and the life-changing shift that happened when he finally did. Filmed on the bike and from the heart, this ride dives deep into the raw, often unspoken challenges of living with mental illness.
Whether you're struggling yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode tackles real mental health conversations head-on — including how coaching, therapy, and community can make all the difference. If you're navigating anxiety, depression, or Bipolar Disorder, this story might be the nudge you need to ask for help. And if you're just here for a ride, trust us — this one goes way deeper than watts.
