In 2015, she completed her bachelor's degree and discovered a passion for psychiatry. Driven by the critical need for mental health resources in her community, she earned her master's degree in psychiatry from Maryville University in 2022.Her psychiatry experience began in 2023 at an urgent care and primary care clinic in Yukon, Oklahoma, where she honed her skills in comprehensive patient care and developed a deeper understanding of diverse health needs. Angie launched her clinic in October 2025, offering medication management and psychotherapy services. Her dedication to fostering a supportive environment for mental wellness continues to inspire her work.2/10/2025 Compassion & Courage: Conversations in Healthcare Ep 161 – Navigating Mental Health – Angie Osborn

Hey Warriors Unmasked family! Chuck Thuss here, bringing you a truly meaningful episode that's close to my heart. In Episode 170, I had the honor of sitting down with Dr. Michelle Sherman and her mom, Deanne Sherman, two incredible women who are shining a much-needed light on an often-overlooked group: the supporters. Whether you're a spouse, sibling, friend, or child of someone managing mental health challenges or trauma, this episode is packed with insights, tools, and encouragement just for you. Dr. Sherman, a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience, and Deanne, a mental health advocate and teacher, share their wealth of knowledge and personal stories about how to navigate the complex role of supporting someone who is struggling. From the emotional toll it can take to the importance of self-care, their conversation is a game-changer for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, lonely, or burnt out while caring for someone they love. Key Takeaways from the Episode: Recognizing the Caregiver's Role: Often, those who support loved ones with mental health challenges feel invisible. Dr. Sherman and Deanne emphasize the importance of seeing and honoring the sacrifices these caregivers make. Self-Care is Essential, Not Optional: As Deanne beautifully states, taking care of yourself isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. Whether it's taking five minutes to breathe, delegating responsibilities, or finding a community of support, self-care is the foundation of being able to help others. Advocating for Support: Caregivers often feel guilty about asking for help, but Dr. Sherman reminds us that we can't pour from an empty cup. Whether it's leaning on a friend, joining a support group, or simply taking time for yourself, these small steps make a big difference. The Stigma Around Mental Illness: Michelle and Deanne also address the societal stigma that isolates both individuals managing mental illness and their families. They challenge listeners to lean in, rather than withdraw, when someone in their circle is struggling. Tools and Resources for Caregivers The Shermans recently co-authored two incredible books: Loving Someone with a Mental Illness or History of Trauma: Skills, Hope, and Strength for Your Journey I'm Not Alone: A Teen's Guide to Living with a Parent Who's Experienced a Mental Illness or History of Trauma These books are more than just informative—they're interactive guides packed with reflection exercises, practical skills, and stories from people who've been there. Whether you're an adult or a teen, you'll find actionable advice to help you navigate the challenges of supporting someone with mental health issues while maintaining your own well-being. You can find their books at Seeds of Hope Books or on Amazon. A Message to Caregivers One of the most powerful takeaways from this episode is the reminder that caregivers matter too. Dr. Sherman and Deanne's mantra, “We see you, we hear you, and we're with you,” resonates deeply. If you've ever felt alone in your journey, know that there is a community of people who understand and want to support you. Listen Now To hear the full conversation with Dr. Michelle and Deanne Sherman, including their personal stories, practical advice, and the mission behind their work, tune into Episode 170 of Warriors Unmasked.

Cognitive decline isn't inevitable, but it can be influenced by lifestyle, activity levels, and mental engagement. Chronic illnesses and mobility challenges can limit social interaction and physical activity, further impacting mental wellness. Community and connection are essential for maintaining mental acuity and emotional well-being in later life. Aging adults need resources that are specifically designed for their needs, offering independence and dignity. One Key Learning: The importance of community in aging—staying socially connected and engaged can significantly enhance mental health and prevent cognitive decline. It's not just about aging in place, but aging with purpose and relationships that nurture the soul.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

This is a special episode about mental health. It's a talk that was shared on our sister show TP&R a couple months ago. We're hoping that in a moment like this one, our Trailer Geeks community will find it helpful.   Perhaps this whole election season has been overwhelming. So we figured it's worthwhile to emphasize the importance of stepping back from all the chaos for mental well-being. The tools that are discussed include how meditation has been a transformative practice for many people, alongside other valuable “arrows in our quiver” like writing / prayer, physical exercise, nourishing the mind with great literature (fiction and non-fiction), fostering human connections, getting a healthy amount of rest and establishing helpful boundaries and rules of engagement.   00:36 Personal Journey and Struggles 03:06 Meditation: A Life-Changing Practice 10:56 The Power of Writing and Prayer 15:52 Exercise: Moving for Mental Health 18:16 Feeding Your Mind with Good Literature 21:43 The Importance of Fellowship 25:15 The Necessity of Rest 29:07 Setting Boundaries and Rules of Engagement 34:45 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talkin-politics-religion-without-killin-each-other/id1536169792   TP&R is on Patreon!
