In this heartbreaking and deeply meaningful episode of Mental Health & Me, a mother shares the unimaginable journey of losing her daughter to cancer. Through memories, pain, love, and resilience, she opens up about what it was like to walk beside her child through illness while facing every parent's greatest fear. This conversation explores anticipatory grief, the impact of caregiving, the silence that often follows loss, and how grief changes a person forever. With honesty and vulnerability, she speaks about keeping her daughter's memory alive while learning how to continue living after loss. This episode is for anyone who has experienced grief, supported a loved one through illness, or wondered how people survive the unimaginable. It is a powerful reminder that love does not end when someone dies, and neither does their story.

In this deeply personal episode of Mental Health & Me, we sit down with Matt Robinson who shares the raw, unfiltered reality of losing a spouse—and what comes after. From the initial shock of a cancer diagnosis and overwhelming grief, to the quiet, everyday moments that follow, this conversation explores what it truly means to navigate life after loss. This episode gently challenges the idea that there's a "right way" to grieve, offering space for honesty, reflection, and healing. Whether you've experienced loss yourself or want to better understand someone who has, this episode is a reminder that grief is not something to "get over"—it's something we learn to carry.

In this episode of Mental Health & Me, host Natalie Souders sits down with special guest Linsay Rundell to recount a "bucket list" hike up Pike's Peak that spiraled wildly out of control. What started as a scenic outdoor adventure quickly turned into a job of managing disappointment and reshaping expectations. No doubt there were some questionable decisions, unexpected panic, and a mountain with a serious attitude problem. Natalie and Linsay break down the moment things went sideways, how their mental health played a role in the chaos, and what they learned when the universe (and the altitude) decided to remind them of its power. Join us for laughter, honesty, and a surprisingly heartfelt reflection on fear, resilience, and the stories we tell when we finally make it back down the mountain.

In this episode of Mental Health & Me, therapist Natalie Souders explores one of psychology's most unsettling yet fascinating studies — the Milgram Experiment. Why do ordinary people obey authority, even when it goes against their morals? Natalie unpacks the experiment's design, the ethical controversy it sparked, and what it reveals about human behavior, conformity, and compassion. Join Natalie as she connects these insights to everyday life — from workplace dynamics to social pressures — and helps us reflect on how understanding obedience can empower us to make more conscious, compassionate choices.
