Secrets Behind My Million-Download Mental Health Podcast Gretchen Schoser | Ep 46

In today’s episode, I sat down with the incredible Gretchen Schozer, co-host of “That Goes On In Our Heads.” We dug deep into how Gretchen’s personal journey—from surviving a mental health crisis to launching her award-winning podcast—fuels her passion for breaking the stigma around mental health. We talked podcasting tips, the power of community, why authenticity matters, and how Gretchen and her co-host Dirty Skittles have built a safe space for honest conversations. Plus, Gretchen shared her workflow secrets, her favorite tools, and why consistency and compassion are everything in this space.Whether you’re a podcaster, mental health advocate, or someone looking to feel a little less alone, I hope this episode reminds you that your story matters and that meaningful impact can start from your own living room.
