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.
