In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Heath and Josh sit down with Mental Health Awareness advocate, artist, and Axolotl enthusiast Misty. She shares her powerful journey of working with Child Protective Services, where she witnessed firsthand the trauma children face and the emotional toll it took on her over the years. Misty opens up about how the stress and heartbreak eventually led her to pursue a new path for the sake of her own mental health.
The conversation takes a turn toward advocacy as Misty talks about her trip to Capitol Hill to raise awareness for tardive dyskinesia—a rare and often misunderstood illness. She explains why speaking up for those affected is so important and how that mission became personal.
Josh and Misty also reminisce about a high school trip they took together to the Grand Canyon area, where a sudden health scare had everyone worried—until it turned out to be far less serious than originally feared.
To lighten things up, the group talks about Misty’s unique love for Axolotls, her quirky and adorable aquatic pets that bring her peace and joy. From serious issues to silly stories, this episode is a touching reminder of resilience, advocacy, and finding joy in the little things.
