In this episode, I sit down with John Gerard, a visual artist, author, and peer-support-trained advocate, to talk openly about psychosis, perception, recovery, and lived experience.

We explore what psychosis actually feels like (beyond movies and headlines), how art and creativity can become a grounding practice, and why peer support isn’t about fixing people, it’s about sharing hope.

If you’ve ever wondered how to support someone without judgment — or how people rebuild their lives after their reality shifts — this episode offers a clearer, kinder perspective.
