Welcome to Season 9 of The F.E.E.L Podcast — a space for authentic conversations, emotional healing, and inspiring transformation. We're kicking off this season with a powerful episode featuring Gretchen Schoser, cohost of Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads podcast.
Gretchen is a truth-teller, hope-giver, and passionate advocate for mental health awareness and emotional well-being. In this candid conversation, she opens up about:
The life-saving moment she called 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
The importance of setting healthy boundaries as an empath and extrovert
Overcoming toxic relationships and letting go of emotional drama
Her battle with depression and how vulnerability became her superpower
Using storytelling and humor to heal and connect with others
We talk about the power of knowing your "why," and how that can pull you out of your darkest moments. Gretchen’s story is raw, real, and relatable. Her journey from survival to purpose is one that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, undervalued, or emotionally exhausted.
This episode is a must-listen for those navigating emotional burnout, people-pleasing, or mental health challenges. Gretchen reminds us that asking for help isn't weakness—it's strength.
Call to Action: If you or someone you know is struggling, dial 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. You are not alone. There is always hope.
Tune in, feel seen, and join the conversation.
