How to Follow or Subscribe to The Bipolar Mama

Updated

The Bipolar Mama (thebipolarmama.com) is a personal blog written by Lauren Kocher, and the site shows signals of offering a subscribe or subscription option, so readers who want updates can look for that entry point on the site itself. The exact signup flow, what you receive, and how often you receive it are not fully specified in the available page evidence, so treat any subscription as something to verify directly on the website before committing. If you only want to read without signing up, you can still browse posts and use the share buttons on each article.

What the site offers for following along

Based on the visible site content, there are two main ways to stay connected:

  • Subscription / subscribe option — The site's pricing signals include the keywords "subscribe" and "subscription," which indicates a subscription-related feature exists somewhere on the site. The evidence does not show a specific link, price, or delivery method.
  • Social sharing buttons — Every post includes share buttons for Facebook, X (Twitter), Pinterest, Reddit, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Email, and WhatsApp. These let you pass posts along to others or save them to your own feeds, which is a lightweight way to keep up without a formal subscription.

How to find the subscribe option

Because the exact placement isn't documented in the available evidence, use this general approach:

  1. Open thebipolarmama.com in a browser.
  2. Look for a subscribe, follow, or sign-up element — commonly in the header, sidebar, or at the bottom of posts.
  3. If you find a form, read what it says you'll receive (new posts, newsletters, updates) before entering your email.
  4. Submit and check for a confirmation email, since many subscription tools require you to confirm before you're added.
  5. If no subscribe option appears, you can still follow new posts by checking the homepage, since posts are listed in reverse-chronological order with a "Posts navigation" link to older entries.

Expected result: You either receive a confirmation and future updates, or you confirm that no public subscription form is currently offered and rely on direct visits instead.

What to check before subscribing

  • What you're signing up for: The evidence only confirms that subscription-related language exists. It does not confirm whether it's a newsletter, a membership, or a notification list.
  • Cost: No pricing links or payment platforms appear in the available data, so don't assume it's free or paid — verify on the page.
  • Frequency: The posting pattern visible in the evidence is irregular (posts dated May 2018, January 2019), so don't expect a fixed schedule.
  • Privacy: Any email you provide goes to whatever platform powers the form; check the site's stated terms if that matters to you.

If you'd rather not subscribe

You can follow the blog passively:

  • Bookmark thebipolarmama.com and check the homepage for new entries.
  • Use the share buttons on posts you like to save them to Pinterest, Reddit, or your own social accounts.
  • Follow the site's social presence if one is linked from the posts, since shared content often appears there too.

Common snags

  • No visible form: Some blogs hide the subscribe option behind a menu or only show it on certain pages. Scroll the full homepage and open a single post to check.
  • Confirmation email missing: Check spam or promotions folders; subscription tools often send a double opt-in message.
  • Unclear terms: If the form doesn't explain what you'll get, it's reasonable to skip it and follow via bookmarks instead.

The bottom line: the site shows signs of a subscription feature, but the details aren't documented in the available evidence. Look for the subscribe entry on the live site, read what it promises, and decide from there — or simply follow new posts by visiting the homepage and using the share buttons to keep track of what you've read.
