In this episode, Shannon sits down with Gretchen Schoser-also known as G-Rex-mental health advocate, founder of Schoser Talent and Wellness Solutions, and co-host of the podcast Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads. After surviving a life-altering mental health crisis on Christmas Day 2022, Gretchen has made it her mission to create spaces-at work and in the world-where people feel seen, supported, and safe to be fully human.

Gretchen shares how humor and honesty became her lifelines during her darkest days, and how launching a podcast just weeks after her crisis helped her reconnect with herself and others. She opens up about the realities of hiding depression behind an extroverted exterior, the power of laughter as a healing tool, and her journey from corporate America to mental health advocacy. Gretchen also discusses her work helping organizations build human-centered systems that truly care for employee well-being, and why wellness is never one-size-fits-all.
