  • Living With Tourette's

    Living With Tourette's
    Apr 25 2026
    Most conversations about Tourette’s focus on the chaos—until Kevin stepped into the spotlight with a story of resilience, humor, and eye-opening truth. Imagine living with a condition so misunderstood that the mere mention sparks misconceptions, stigma, and some pretty wild TV portrayals. Now, picture turning that confusion into education, one podcast episode at a time. Buckle up, because Kevin’s journey from a diagnosis at age eight to becoming a passionate advocate and podcast host will reveal what living with Tourette’s really looks like—and it's more normal (and less crazy) than you think.Kevin’s raw honesty peels back the layers of stereotypes, showing how stress, medication side effects, and societal misconceptions shape his experience. You'll discover: how he manages symptoms without the “rage” people assume, the truth about “small” vs. “wild” tics, and why 90% of TV portrayals are just... practice for Hollywood. This episode breaks down how a small percentage of people with Tourette’s do those intense, TV-worthy behaviors—most just clear their throats and blink. Kevin shares the surprising statistic that only 10% of those with Tourette’s curse or shout racial slurs, debunking the “TV disease” myth once and for all.We also dive into the importance of education and empathy—why telling someone to “cheer up” or assuming they don’t have a mental health condition is not just missing the mark, but adding to the stigma. Kevin’s mission to elevate awareness shines in stories of community, humor, and the power of self-acceptance. Plus, he’s written a book, launched a podcast, and now aims to do more—showing that trauma can be transformed into advocacy, and that compassion beats judgment every time.Perfect for anyone living with mental health challenges, curious about neurodiversity, or just wanting a good laugh and a wake-up call. This episode will motivate you to ask questions, challenge misconceptions, and see people for who they really are—and that’s human, complex, and equally deserving of respect. Because as Kevin proves, understanding is the cure—and sometimes, a little humor is the best medicine.Kevin is a Tourette's advocate, author, and podcast creator who’s dedicated to breaking stereotypes and spreading awareness. His story reminds us that behind every diagnosis is a person fighting fear, frustration—and finding moments of joy and authenticity every day. Remember: this isn’t about TV stereotypes. It’s about real lives, real resilience, and the courage to speak out

    The Shocking Truth About How Mental Illness Is Still Hidden in the Shadows of Society
    Apr 18 2026
    Most of us are walking around with a mental health playlist more tangled than headphone cords in your pocket. But what if your struggles, diagnoses, meds, and wild stories were actually the key to understanding yourself—and maybe even saving lives? Today, Maddie and Pete sit down with the incredible Natalie, who’s lived through psychosis, hospitalizations, court cases, and her own pandemic of chaos — all while trying to just be a good mom, hairstylist, and part-time psychic (well, she speaks to spirits, but close enough).Brace yourself for jaw-dropping stories including illegal black boxes, Homeland Security run-ins, and enough wild tales to fill a Netflix series. You'll discover real talk about bipolar, complex PTSD, psychosis, postpartum horror stories, and the stigma that keeps so many suffering in silence. Maddie shares her own journey from meds mountain to feeling alive again, and Natalie drops wisdom bombs about the importance of medication, mental health accessibility, and why moms especially need to speak up—because silence can be deadly.Why does all this matter? Because ignoring mental health doesn't make it go away; it just keeps people trapped in their own emotional maze. This episode is your wake-up call to break the stigma, embrace your chaos, and learn that sometimes, the wildest stories hold the most healing power. Whether you’re fighting your own demons or just curious why life’s so crazy, this episode will make you laugh, cry, and maybe even feel seen.Perfect for anyone tired of the “just think positive” advice or feeling overwhelmed by the mental health rollercoaster, Natalie’s raw honesty is a reminder: You’re not alone, and your story matters. Hit play—and start rewriting your own narrative with humor, hope, and a dash of insanity.
