Mad in America! 🎙️ When Jennifer Millard-Schmitz and I started The Gaslit Truth Podcast, getting on the Mad in America podcast felt like a total pipe dream—but here we are, and it’s a BIG deal!

Being featured by Mad in America is more than just a milestone—it means we’re being recognized by one of the most respected platforms challenging the status quo in mental health. MIA gives a voice to professionals, survivors, and advocates who are reimagining what true healing looks like beyond the medical model. Their work is rooted in truth-telling, informed consent, and human rights—values that we deeply align with.

Our episode, "Breaking Out of the Prison of Prescribing and Finding the Freedom of Therapy," is a powerful step forward in bringing light to conversations that many are afraid to have—about overprescription, systemic gaslighting, and what real healing can look like when therapy is centered on connection, not control.

We’re honored, we’re humbled, and we’re more fired up than ever.

Postpartum depression is a significant issue that affects many new mothers, and I was honored to contribute to an article on the topic for U.S. News. The article highlights key signs of postpartum depression, such as persistent sadness, difficulty bonding with your baby, and changes in sleep or appetite. It's crucial for new mothers to be aware of these signs and seek help when needed. If you're going through this or know someone who is, support is available. You don’t have to face it alone.

Mood changes, disruption in sleep patterns and crying episodes could be indications of postpartum depression.

Well, I’m not sure if this qualifies as literary genius, but I am sure of one thing: Your Best Brain has the potential to help people see their mental health in a new light. That’s what matters most.
