    This is an impactful show led by powerful host, Sheila Hamilton. The conversations she holds and the depth she provokes show her acumen as a journalist and subject matter expert.

  • Powerful and necessary

    We need to take the stigma away from the topic of mental health. I have lost one too many lives…individuals that felt they were alone, isolated, scared, feeling as if they did not matter to anyone. They did to me. Sheila’s work in this podcast is truly a gift and I am grateful for her continued efforts to keep this conversation going so perhaps someday, that one person will reach out before choosing the latter. Thank you Sheila! I appreciate your voice and your words more than you know. ❤️🙏�... more

  • Interesting guests

    But please examine your attitudes toward psych meds and those of us who need them to live full and healthy lives. We get enough shame from society in general and don’t need to hear it from therapists. I just can’t listen anymore. Too hurtful.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 424/ Nigel Roberts/Caregiving for People with mental Illness. Part Two.
Q: Do you now feel like you understand how someone who has lost people that they love could go through a similar process without hiking 450 miles through Nepal?
He explains that active, embodied coping like walking can function as a form of therapy for some, but the core lesson is to recognize the value of structured support systems and personal boundaries, not to romanticize suffering.
Ep. 424/ Nigel Roberts/Caregiving for People with mental Illness. Part Two.
Q: What would you choose to tell them and what would you choose not to tell them?
He would stress the importance of honesty about the limits of caregiving, the necessity of professional help, and the reality that grief and responsibility can be complicated and not entirely solvable by personal devotion alone.
Ep. 424/ Nigel Roberts/Caregiving for People with mental Illness. Part Two.
Q: But I want to talk this time about, is there an intersection, Nigel, between the type of work that you did and the work that you had to do at home?
Nigel suggests that professional methods and international experience didn't directly translate to home caregiving, but he emphasizes the need for external support and boundaries rather than trying to handle everything alone.
Ep. 420/ Brendan Mahan. ADHD. Overcoming the Wall of Awful. Part Two.
Q: What do you offer someone who may feel like, okay, I can put together these steps to learn how to fold my laundry, but where I'm really missing is a life partner or someone to share it with?
Do the things you enjoy and seek out communities that align with your interests to meet people in real life, using niche activities (like cooking classes or niche hobbies) to form meaningful connections.
Ep. 420/ Brendan Mahan. ADHD. Overcoming the Wall of Awful. Part Two.
Q: How do you suggest people work with it? Where is, for instance, medication in this book?
Medication is positioned as one resource among several, with an emphasis on skills and resources; it's not the sole solution, but it can provide the dopamine boost needed to engage with tasks, alongside strategies to build skills and systems.
