  • Honest review of HME

    After playing a few episodes, HME has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts to listen to on my walks and drives. Heather's ability to naturally let her guests speak in a very candid way is amazing. The topics and conversations never feel forced, and you easily become immersed in them. Above all else, though, the episodes have made me feel less alone in this chaotic world.

  • Genuine and kind host

    Heather is a kind-hearted and thoughtful host. I appreciate the work she is doing to educate her listeners. She was prepared with a wide range of questions and she even took the time to watch my online courses to better understand my work. Heather helped the conversation feel comfortable and flow smoothly from topic to topic. I highly recommend being a guest along with listening to her podcast.

Heather brings a perfect balance of lighthearted humor and sincere discussions about various highly stigmatized mental health topics. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a thoughtful exploration of mental health!

(141) A Year Later, He Flipped Off The River: JT White
Q: What is Trucks and Mayhem, and where did the idea come from?
Trucks and Mayhem emerged as a daytime truck show paired with a nighttime heavy-metal concert, born from a desire to blend two passions—cars and music—into a sustainable project, with plans to grow into a fabrication shop if it proves viable.
(141) A Year Later, He Flipped Off The River: JT White

(143) From Finding Healing in Music to Healing the Music Industry with Erin Ventoso
Q: So tell me how you got involved with RocDoc. What is RocDoc?
RocDoc is a group of providers who travel to support musicians on the road; Erin learned about it through a chance encounter and joined when the founder needed more providers to cover tours.
(140) Is That A Healthy Boundary, Or Just Avoidance? With Candice Coughenour
Q: What practical advice do you give to couples who feel they've outgrown each other?
Pause to assess capacity and re-regulate, practice explicit communication about needs, consider whether issues are about defense mechanisms, and decide if the relationship can evolve or if separate paths are healthier.
(140) Is That A Healthy Boundary, Or Just Avoidance? With Candice Coughenour
Q: How do you define boundaries, and how should people think about them in relationships?
Boundaries are about self-alignment and context, not gatekeeping. They should reflect a balance among self, others, and context, be adaptable, and serve to maintain connection while honoring values.
