In this heartfelt episode of Power to Her, I sit down with Morgan, a brave and open young woman who moved from Ireland to the UK to begin university, just one month after being diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

Morgan opens up about what it was like to start this new chapter of her life while navigating her diagnosis, understanding her medication, and finding her place in a new environment where she didn’t know anyone.

She speaks honestly about the challenges of her first year, feeling isolated, misunderstood, and overwhelmed — and how things began to change once she surrounded herself with the right people and found a circle of support built on kindness and non-judgement.

This episode is a reminder that mental health journeys take time, that asking for help is a sign of strength, and that finding people who see you for who you are, not your diagnosis, can completely change your path.
