A Deeper Reason
A Deeper Reason
Discovering the effects of Bipolar 1 is a daunting, continuous cycle that feels like it never ends. I’m not just talking about the common symptoms—the ones you can read about. I’m talking about the aftermath. The unclear, foggy spaces that have no destination in sight. No map. No intention, just exhaustion.
Imagine embarking on a journey with passion, dedication, and drive so intense it can’t be contained. But then—you're stuck. Paralyzed. Not physically, but mentally, emotionally. You're trapped in a loop with no obvious exit and no understanding of how to control the urge to move, to do something, to feel something… because something won’t let you.
So, you sit. Shaking your leg. Thinking. Wondering. Waiting.
Wanting to be normal.
Wanting to just go out, have fun with friends, feel free, and simply be.
Hi. I’m Courtney Sessoms.
A high-functioning, versatile phenomenon who happens to have Bipolar 1.
You’d never know it. Most people don’t.
We’re often misunderstood. We show up, we help others, we shine—even when inside we’re barely staying afloat. And despite everything we carry, we remain 100% genuine in all we do. That’s the kicker. That’s the beauty. That’s the struggle.
So, what does this have to do with last week? Or with Orange RUBIE Life Style?
The whole fucking damn shabang.
Yes, I said it.
I realized just how deeply Bipolar 1 has affected every major decision I’ve made—especially my choice to leave Black BRAND, a decision that felt like both a breakdown and a breakthrough.
It hit me: Orange RUBIE Life Style was born in fire—this fire.
Out of chaos, confusion, and a relentless need to create meaning out of pain.
And yet—I still stand.
And more than that, I rise.
This isn’t just a brand. It’s a purpose-driven movement.
The Bipolar Girl with a Purpose is only the beginning. I’m done hiding behind functioning and perfection. This disease needs attention, and I’m on a mission to give it exactly that—through the model of RUBIE. Through every workshop, every conversation, every damn piece of content I put into this world.
That person sitting next to you?
The one speaking at an event, running a 4k, smiling in a meeting?
That could be me. That is us.
Don’t be shy.
Talk to us.
We promise—we’ll talk back. And we won’t bite.
We might even change your life.
Welcome to the fire. Welcome to the fight. Welcome to the rise.
