About This Podcast
Manic Little Thing is what happens when bipolar energy and OCD anxiety team up and hit record. We share the stories that shaped us — the scary ones, the embarrassing ones, the heartbreaking ones — and somehow manage to make them funny. Every episode blends chaotic humor, unexpected vulnerability, and the kind of chemistry only two best friends with matching mental illnesses can produce.Expect emotional whiplash in the best way: heartfelt one minute, unhinged the next, always real. New Episodes every Friday Eve (Thursday). Hosted by Nathaniel James & Nicole Cavallaro.
