Episode Synopsis


Today's episode follows Gretchen Schoser's chilling story of despair and rebirth.  Gretchen is a suicide attempt survivor, award-winning podcaster, and tech-savvy entrepreneur whose work focuses on healing the mental health Western society wears down.  Gretchen and I muse over topics as far afield as the importance of community, how friends love friends no matter what, and why baby raccoons are the balm for all maladies.REFERENCES:Gretchen Schoser’s website:  https://www.schosersolutions.com/Sh!t That Goes on in Our Heads Podcast:  https://goesoninourheads.net/Follow Gretchen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/schoser_tw_solutionsFollow Gretchen on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/schoser-talent-and-wellness-llc/(00:00) - Opening credits
