As we approach Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m honored to sit down with Dr. Paul Corona—a trailblazing physician, author, and fierce advocate for mental wellness—whose mission is to transform how we understand and treat mental health. With over 30 years of experience bridging psychiatry and family medicine, Dr. Corona shares his remarkable journey, from being nicknamed “Dr. Paul” as a five-year-old with a toy medical kit to becoming a leading voice in integrative mental health care. He brings to light the vital connection between our minds and bodies, and why true healing must treat both. His newest book, The Corona Protocol, offers a bold, scientifically grounded approach to tackling some of society’s most pressing issues, including addiction, bullying, homelessness, school shootings, and suicide. We talk candidly about the science behind emotional struggles and why mental illness is not a matter of willpower. Dr. Corona explains how trauma, hormones, and genetics shape brain chemistry, and why it’s time to let go of outdated fears around medication. We also have a raw and emotional conversation about losing a child to suicide—and what we must do better as a society to support one another before it’s too late. This episode also explores the impact of technology and the mental health aftermath of the pandemic on today’s youth. Dr. Corona offers insight for parents navigating anxiety, depression, and ADHD in their children, while highlighting how healing can be affordable, accessible, and rooted in listening and compassion. Whether you’ve felt overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to help someone you love, this conversation will open your eyes and remind you of what’s possible. You are not alone. There is help. There is healing. And there is always hope. Tune in to be inspired and reminded that healing begins when we dare to have these conversations—and when we remember that everyone is worthy of care, understanding, and light.

Trigger warning: This episode discusses suicide, depression, and grief—please listen with care. In this deeply emotional episode, I'm sharing the space with a remarkable guest: Betsy Thibaut Stephens. Betsy is a mother, writer, and survivor of unthinkable loss. Her son, Charlie, was a bright, compassionate, easygoing 21-year-old who quietly battled depression—a struggle that ended in tragedy. In her beautifully written book, Blackbird: A Mother’s Reflections on Grief, Loss, and Life After Suicide, Betsy invites us into her journey of remembrance, heartbreak, and ultimately, healing. Together, we talk about the raw truth of losing someone who masked their pain behind a smile, the relentless “what ifs,” and the impossible decision to keep living in the aftermath. She shares the quiet bravery of mothering through sorrow—flying across the country to hold Charlie while he cried, learning to speak his name out loud after his passing, and finding purpose through the pain. This episode is for anyone navigating grief, loving someone through their darkness, or trying to understand the invisible weight so many carry. Betsy’s vulnerability is a lifeline. Her story reminds us that depression doesn’t always look like hopelessness—and that healing isn’t about forgetting, but about remembering with intention. We cry. We reflect. We say their names. And in doing so, we offer a powerful reminder: you are not alone. Your grief matters. Your love still has a voice. And even on the hardest days, there is still a path forward. Blackbird is available everywhere books are sold starting April 8th. Please share this episode with someone who needs to know they are seen and never alone.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about domestic abuse, emotional trauma, and financial control. Listener discretion is advised. In this powerful episode of Judging Meghan, I sit down with my dearest friend, Vicky Edwards, who opens up about her courageous journey through domestic abuse and the emotional, financial, and psychological toll it took on her. Vicky shares the subtle beginnings of manipulation, the isolation she faced, and the pivotal moments that led to her breaking point. Her raw honesty is a testament to the strength it takes to not only survive but to rebuild from the trauma. Vicky’s story is one of resilience and reclamation of power, showing that even in the darkest times, there is hope. We discuss how the support of close friends, community, and a strong network can make all the difference, and how she’s now giving back by helping others heal. Vicky also shares the inspiration behind her podcast, Life After Divorce, but Funnier, and the trauma support group she co-founded, both of which aim to provide a safe space for others on their healing journeys. If you’re navigating the aftermath of trauma or heartbreak, this episode will serve as a reminder that you are not alone and that healing is not only possible, but it can lead to newfound strength and purpose. Tune in to hear Vicky’s inspiring story of survival, strength, and transformation. And for more, check out her podcast with Jackie Miller: Life After Divorce, but Funnier. Resources: If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, support is available. Please reach out to organizations like the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit their website at www.thehotline.org. Tune in to this inspiring conversation about courage, resilience, and the power of community. Let Vicky’s story be a beacon of hope and strength.
