Podcasts about Webby

Okay shut up shut up we have to focus!!!We have the INCREDIBLE Franchesca Ramsey in the house, so we can't be distracted by things like 1) what Text Me Back even is? 2) if it is good or bad. Franchesca's presence punctures one of the central tenets of Text Me Back - for SHE has a podcast (Lemme Fix it!) AND she is also the iconic host of Webby nominated series We Were All Rooting for You. We have people looking into this, but initial reporting suggests that there may be other podcasts apart from Text Me Back. Seems suspicious, but we will circle back when we know more.And since Franchesca is the big brain behind Lindy's renewed internet fame, we're talking about our TOP CELEBRITY BEEFS. You'll never guess who we have called out, betrayed, and been blocked by. Thomas Lennon, follow Lindy again if you forgive us!! Sorry we didn't like that one movie you were in, buddy!!! And because we're talking about internet psychos, that naturally brings us to Tyra Banks, America's Next Top Model, and Jake and Logan Paul.

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. Our host, Rachel Star Withers, (Link: www.rachelstarlive.com) is an entertainer, international speaker, video producer, and schizophrenic. She has appeared on MTV's Ridiculousness, TruTV, NBC's America's Got Talent, Marvel's Black Panther, TUBI's #shockfight, Goliath: Playing with Reality, and is the host of the HealthLine podcast “Inside Schizophrenia”. She grew up seeing monsters, hearing people in the walls, and having intense urges to hurt herself. Rachel creates videos documenting her schizophrenia, ways to manage, and letting others like her know they are not alone and can still live an amazing life. She has created a kid's mental health comic line, The Adventures of ____. (Learn more at this link: https://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Fearless-Unstoppable-Light-Ambitious/dp/B0FHWK4ZHS ) Fun Fact: She has wrestled alligators.

This week, Jaansi sits down with healthcare journalist Kristen V. Brown to explore the role of science journalism in shaping public trust, health decision-making, and collective understanding.

The integration of artificial intelligence, AI, in mental healthcare holds promise for enhancing treatments, diagnosing, personalizing care, and more. An emerging new use of AI is in therapy, but is it ready for schizophrenia?

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. Additionally, he has authored over 130 peer-reviewed scientific papers and has contributed his expertise to over 80 death penalty cases. He is also a family caregiver of two close relatives with schizophrenia and another with bipolar disorder. Dr. Amador has trained tens of thousands of professionals and families on LEAP® (Listen-Empathize-Agree-Partner), a communication approach that creates trusting relationships with people who have serious mental illness and anosognosia. www.leapinstitute.org Our host, Rachel Star Withers, (Link: www.rachelstarlive.com) is an entertainer, international speaker, video producer, and schizophrenic.

  Rafael McMaster Founder Rafael McMaster is an artist who began his career in fashion and has designed clothing lines for Puma and others. His design career led to multiple lines of snowboards, brand and design work for Chris Paul, Matthew McConaughey and MEK denim as well as Webby award nominated websites. In 2016, McMaster hit a wall. Everything on the outside looked perfect— a great family, house, car, and position at a world class creative entertainment agency— but inside Rafael felt spiritually bankrupt. His friend Dave Brubaker told him, "You got to the top of the corporate ladder only to realize your ladder was on the wrong building." Looking for a change and a new vision for the next chapter of his life, Rafael sought to volunteer at his daughter's elementary school and show his art locally.  Having painted for 20 years as a hobby, friends and patrons alike encouraged Rafael to share his art professionally. It was this inspiration that led him to two surprising facts: there was no art class offered in his daughter's elementary school, and there were zero galleries in his hometown of Hermosa Beach. Rafael felt this was his calling—to cultivate art and its awesome power to connect— within his community. Inspired into action, he founded the South Bay Artist Collective, a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose purpose is to cultivate creativity, consciousness, and connection through art. He founded the gallery and creative lab Resin within months, and began a world-class youth creative arts program, weaving in decades of professional creative direction, graphic design, fashion design, and original music into a dynamic and comprehensive arts program. All of these thriving entities are now known as Indivisible Arts.     https://www.indivisiblearts.org/  https://www.rafaelmcmaster.com/  LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rafael-mcmaster-ba573531/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rafaelmcmasterart/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mcmaster.peace/ YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVP8eNYx58zbFZuBSZj6b8w
