Whether you've been diagnosed with schizophrenia or you're supporting someone living with the condition, connecting with others who understand schizophrenia can be a great help. Talking to those who are dealing with the same things you're experiencing can not only help you feel less alone, but also help you learn tips and coping mechanisms from each other, share resources, encourage treatment, and allow you to tell your stories in a safe and accepting environment. But how do you find other people with serious mental illnesses like schizophrenia to connect with? What should you say? Where do you even go? Host Rachel Star Withers, a diagnosed schizophrenic, and co-host Gabe Howard break down how to find other people with schizophrenia and give you a simple opening you can use to build new connections.  Finally, guest Amber (who lives with mental illness) joins. Amber's mental health advocacy journey began when she found out she had schizoaffective disorder and decided to share it on social media. She decided she wanted to help as many with her diagnosis as she could, so she began speaking about her diagnosis regularly on social media. Listener Takeaways Understand why peer connection is unique and how it provides a level of validation that clinical providers often cannot replicate Discover how staying connected to a community can actually improve outcomes  Learn Amber's “Three Pillars of Stability”: consistent support, therapy, and medication Our guest, Amber W, is a wife, mom, and Army veteran. Amber's mental health advocacy journey began when she found out she was schizoaffective bipolar type, and wanted to help fight against stigma. From there, she was invited to a psychiatric hospital to speak about her recovery. This ignited a fire in her; she decided she wanted to help as many with her diagnosis as she could so she began speaking about her diagnosis regularly on social media.

Bonus Episode of "Inside Schizophrenia" podcast from Healthline Media. “Paranoid schizophrenic admits to attacking dog walker.” When we watch a horror movie, we know the “madman” on screen is a work of fiction. But when the nightly news leads with a diagnosis to explain a tragedy, the fear it creates is very real — and often permanent.Why does the media lead with schizophrenia only when the story involves violence, yet remain silent when it comes to stories of recovery, hope, and humanity? In this hard-hitting episode, host Rachel Star Withers (who lives with schizophrenia) explores the Lead with Fear phenomenon — the dangerous journalistic trend of linking a diagnosis to a crime before the facts are even in — and why schizophrenia seems to have the worst PR team in the world.

She also brokered the reintroduction of American studio films to the Chinese marketplace after a decades-long hiatus.

Which is funny, because all the TV we watched in Portugal was trash reality TV: which, on that note, shoutout to Ridiculousness. So, it's a movie made by WWE starring Stone Cold Steve Austin, preaching about audiences condoning violence. It probably shouldn't be taken seriously, right?

“How do I talk to my loved one?” It is the most frequent question the show receives. In this episode, host Rachel Star Withers (who lives with schizophrenia) and co-host Gabe Howard dive deep into the nuances of communication, moving away from reactionary "crisis mode" toward intentional, empathetic connection. They explore why validating emotions and feelings — rather than schizophrenia symptoms — is the key to building trust and how to ask for permission before broaching difficult topics. Later in the show, Gail Simmons, culinary expert and judge on Bravo's Top Chef, joins the conversation to share her personal story. Gail opens up about her brother's schizophrenia diagnosis and how her family used the universal language of food and the dinner table to maintain their bond during challenging years.

Living with schizophrenia is traumatic — full stop. Hallucinations, delusions, hospitalizations, lost relationships, and stigma can fracture how you see yourself and the world. But how do you process all of that without being labeled dangerous, unstable, or misunderstood? In this episode of “Inside Schizophrenia,” Rachel Star Withers (who lives with schizophrenia) and cohost Gabe Howard explore practical, safe ways to express your schizophrenia journey — without needing to be an artist, writer, or performer. From journaling (even if you hate it) to movement, storytelling, and simple word exercises, they break down how expression can support emotional regulation, restore personal agency, and help organize traumatic experiences. Listeners will learn: why you don't need artistic talent to benefit from expressive outlets how storytelling helps organize traumatic memories into something manageable what caregivers and loved ones should know about encouraging safe expression Later, Rachel is joined by singer, songwriter, and poet Susan Wojnar, who shares her powerful lived experience with late-onset schizophrenia and how creativity both challenged and supported her recovery. Susan discusses hearing voices within music, reclaiming her guitar from psychosis, and why sharing her story through poetry helped her — and others — feel less alone. Susan's new book, "White Darkness: Poetic Tales of the Schizophrenic Experience," is available now. This episode isn't about creating masterpieces. It's about finding your way to release what you've been carrying and take control of your narrative. With 25 years of lived experience with schizophrenia, Susan Wojnar's book debut transcends the traditional boundaries of memoir, diagnosis, and verse to offer readers a profoundly human window into the experience of psychosis. With raw honesty, stark imagery, and a lyrical voice that sings even in silence, “White Darkness” dares readers — caregivers, mental health professionals, those who struggle with mental health issues, and everyday people alike — to step inside a fragmented yet beautifully defiant world.

Relentless drive isn't the problem for most high performers. The real breakdown happens when self-belief collapses after early success and hustle turns into motion without direction. This episode is part of The Best of Habits & Hustle, a series where we revisit some of the most impactful conversations we've shared. In this one, I'm joined by Rob Dyrdek to challenge the idea that working harder fixes everything and explore why success stalls when it isn't intentionally designed.  We also talk about rebuilding belief after hitting bottom, mastering time as a strategic advantage, and designing systems that create real wealth without burning your life down.

For decades, the narrative surrounding schizophrenia has focused almost exclusively on controlling symptoms. But with no cure, can someone actually get better? Recovery in the context of schizophrenia isn't about the absence of symptoms. It's a deeply personal process — one that centers on restoring hope, self-determination, and a meaningful life, even when hallucinations, delusions, and setbacks continue to exist. In this episode, host Rachel Star Withers, who lives openly with schizophrenia, and co-host Gabe Howard explore what recovery really means for people with serious mental illness. From clinical symptom remission and functional abilities to redefining purpose and identity, they unpack how recovery can look — and why it rarely fits the “back to normal” expectation held by loved ones and society. Later in the episode, Dr. Mark Ragins, who is a pioneer and leading voice in person-centered, recovery-based psychiatry, joins the conversation. Listener takeaways  why people — not illness — should be at the center of treatment how recovery can include setbacks and still be real progress how the psychosis triangle explains both breakdown and healing how relationships can stabilize psychosis even when symptoms persist Listen now as this episode challenges outdated ideas of recovery, validating lived experience and showing how a meaningful life is possible with schizophrenia, symptoms and all. Our guest, Mark Ragins, MD, has been a psychiatrist for 40 years, working in community mental health centers, as the Medical Director for 27 years at the Mental Health America Village in Long Beach, California, an award-winning model of recovery-based mental health services, as the students' psychiatrist at Cal State Long Beach, and on street medicine teams working with homeless people on the streets throughout LA county. His book, “Journeys Beyond the Frontier: A Rebellious Guide to Psychosis and Other Extraordinary Experiences,” is based on true stories of working with some of the most underserved and difficult-to-engage people in our community. Countless people have come to experience the work being done at the Village firsthand and Mark has given hundreds of presentations and lectures to wide-ranging audiences nationally and internationally. He is one of the true pioneers and leaders of person-centered, recovery-based psychiatry. Many of his writings are posted online at markragins.com, including his short book A Road to Recovery. He was also featured in Steve Lopez's book The Soloist. Over the years, Mark has won a number of awards, including from the American Psychiatric Association, the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association, NAMI, and Mental Health Advocacy Services.

This is a huge and news-making show. Recorded just before Kelly's pivotal meeting with Hegseth in Washington. When Donald Trump used the power of the presidency to call for Senator Mark Kelly's execution, he crossed a dangerous new line—and sent a chilling message to millions of veterans and every American who dares to speak out. In this all–new episode, Independent Americans host and Army veteran Paul Rieckhoff sits down with the Arizona Senator, Navy combat pilot and astronaut for a raw, unfiltered, and urgent conversation about retribution, free speech, and the future of American democracy.​ Just hours before his first face-to-face meeting with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth since Hegseth and Trump launched an unprecedented military investigation into Kelly.  Senator Kelly explains why Trump's move is not just an attack on him, but on every retired service member who might now think twice before speaking his/her mind. He breaks down how Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are trying to weaponize the Uniform Code of Military Justice against political opponents, and why he refuses to be silenced—even if that means facing a “kangaroo court” in uniform.​ Rieckhoff presses Kelly on the looming risk of a new war with Venezuela, what Trump might do while Congress is out of session, and why the administration still hasn't offered any clear legal or strategic justification for putting American troops in harm's way. Kelly connects the dots between Trump's past calls to kill the families of terrorists, shoot protesters in the legs, and “just kill people,” and the dangerous culture now spreading inside the Pentagon.​ This is a critical, behind-the-scenes briefing with the Senator on the Armed Services and Intelligence Committees who is directly in Trump's crosshairs—and who is still showing up to hold this White House to account. It's also a powerful message to every independent, veteran, military family, and engaged citizen about courage, oversight, and what it really means to stay vigilant in this moment. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

What if you were certain you were perfectly healthy — but everyone around you insisted you had schizophrenia? This may not be denial; it could be anosognosia — a neurological symptom that prevents people from recognizing they have a mental illness.  In this special bonus episode, host Rachel Star Withers, who lives with schizophrenia, sits down with Dr. Xavier Amador, world-renowned psychologist and founder of the LEAP Institute, to unravel one of the most misunderstood symptoms in psychiatry. Dr. Amador, author of the bestselling book “I Am Not Sick, I Don't Need Help!,” shares the science behind anosognosia, why logic and education often fail, and how empathy and connection can bridge the gap between awareness and treatment. Drawing from his own family's experience, Dr. Amador introduces the LEAP method (Listen, Empathize, Agree, Partner) — a revolutionary communication strategy proven to help loved ones accept treatment, even when they don't believe they're ill. Listen and learn: the brain science behind why some people can't recognize their own illness how to tell the difference between denial and anosognosia why love and empathy — not confrontation — are the keys to connection practical steps for families to rebuild trust and encourage treatment This episode offers understanding, hope, and tools for anyone supporting a loved one living with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or other serious mental illnesses. Our guest, Dr. Xavier Amador, Founder and President of the LEAP Institute, is a world-renowned clinical psychologist, forensic expert, and author of 9 books, including the bestseller “I Am Not Sick, I Don't Need Help!” His extensive work, books, and clinical research in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other mental illnesses have been translated into 30 languages.

“Would you become a tattletale if it meant pocketing nearly a million dollars?” That's the provocative question at the heart of this episode of The Sandy Show, where hosts Sandy McIlree and Tricia dive into the wild world of high-stakes snitching, viral lottery fever, and the quirky moments that make everyday life unforgettable.This episode kicks off with Sandy's hilarious confession about a Christmas present inspired by the middle finger and a playful debate over the true value of Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes. As the conversation unfolds, listeners are treated to a blend of humor and real-life dilemmas—from the skyrocketing Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots to the lengths people will go for a chance at fortune. But the real jaw-dropper comes when Sandy and Tricia explore New York City's now-canceled “tattletale bounty” program, where ordinary citizens earned staggering sums—like $895,737—just for reporting idling cars. “If I could make that kind of money, I might step into snitch world,” Sandy admits, while Tricia stands firm: “There's no price. I could be a rat. $800,000. I am not going to be a rat.” Their banter brings both laughter and reflection on the ethics of snitching and the surprising ways people chase easy money. Throughout the episode, Tricia's infectious excitement over growing lottery jackpots and her candid stories about family, favorite drinks, and the challenges of raising a “snitch-hearted” daughter add warmth and relatability. Listeners also get a taste of pop culture nostalgia, from birthday shout-outs to the cancellation of MTV's “Ridiculousness” after 46 seasons. Notable moments include:Sandy's playful negotiation with his daughter over a hypothetical $800 million lottery win.The revelation of “snitch kings” earning life-changing sums for reporting idling cars.Tricia's heartfelt advice on when to speak up and when to “mind your business.”The quirky tradition of “air gongers” and shout-outs to the show's youngest fans.Whether you're here for the laughs, the life lessons, or the chance to win big, this episode delivers a perfect blend of entertainment and insight.  Memorable Quote:“If I could make that kind of money, I might step into snitch world. I just might.” – Tricia“There's no price. I could be a rat. $800,000. I am not going to be a rat.” – Sandy Call to Action Love what you hear?

Episode Description “If you don't take risks, will you always work for someone who did?” That's the thought-provoking question Kent Hance opens with, setting the stage for an episode packed with wisdom, heartfelt tributes, and classic Texas storytelling. In this episode, Kent Hance reflects on Warren Buffett's philosophy of risk-taking, weaving in personal anecdotes and sharp observations about how political landscapes have shifted over the decades. Listeners are treated to Kent's unique perspective on business, politics, and the importance of taking chances—whether in the boardroom or in everyday life. The episode takes a poignant turn as Kent shares the moving story of Gage Ingram, a Texas Tech graduate and Navy SEAL who made the ultimate sacrifice. Kent's tribute to Gage and his family is a powerful reminder of the courage and commitment found in communities across Texas. The episode also honors Sarah House, another Texas Tech alum whose life was tragically cut short, underscoring the fragility of life and the importance of community support. But it wouldn't be a Kent Hance podcast without a dose of humor and the unexpected. From tales of “stupid criminals”—like the man who tried to rob an ATM inside a jail—to the inventor of the Pop-Tart and maggots on a Delta flight, Kent's stories will have you laughing, shaking your head, and marveling at the unpredictability of life. Notable Quotes & Moments: “If you don't take risks, you will always work for someone who took risks.” Kent's heartfelt tribute: “There are young people all over this world doing dangerous things that we don't know about. They're trying to keep us safe.” On police work: “Not everybody should be a police officer. You have to have the right temperament.” The Pop-Tart story and Seinfeld's upcoming movie—dessert for breakfast, anyone? “Don't wear stupid t-shirts to court and don't try to rob the jail.” Themes & Insights: The value of risk-taking in life and business Shifts in political ideologies and their real-world impact Honoring service and sacrifice in the military and local communities The importance of defensive driving and staying safe The lighter side of human folly and the lessons it brings Call to Action: Did a story resonate with you?
