🎙 Episode: Everybody Hurts (with Janelle Miller Moravek)
Mental health isn’t just personal—it’s generational.
In this powerful episode, Nicole and Ann Marie sit down with Janelle Miller Moravek, Executive Director of Youth & Family Counseling and longtime leader in community mental health. For 25+ years, Janelle has been breaking down barriers, making counseling more accessible, and helping families navigate challenges with compassion and clarity.
Together, they explore what it means to be Gen X—the “just keep pushing” generation—and why ignoring mental health has cost us in careers, families, and communities. Janelle shares her own journey as both a leader and a mom, plus the tools that can help us stop keeping struggles in the shadows.
✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why mental health care is still a “baby field”—and how far it’s come since our parents’ generation
How vocabulary (finally) gives us language for what we’ve always felt but didn’t know how to name
Why therapy isn’t just for crisis—it’s a tool for growth, connection, and prevention
How technology (like 988 and virtual counseling) is transforming access
Why loyalty to others shouldn’t come at the expense of loyalty to yourself
Janelle also introduces her new project, ATLAS, a digital behavioral health atlas designed to help people find the right level of care at the right time.
🎧 If you’ve ever whispered “I’ll just push through,” this episode is your reminder: tending to your mental health isn’t selfish—it’s how you create ripple effects of strength in your family, work, and community.
