Gretchen Schoser
I'm Gretchen "G-Rex" Schoser, and I'm passionate about advocating for mental health. My journey into this role began on December 25, 2022, when I found myself amid a severe mental health crisis. That night, I made a life-saving call to 988, and it was the beginning of my recovery. It also sparked something in me—a mission to help others by normalizing conversations around mental health.
As an extrovert, I spent years hiding my depression, even from those closest to me. After my breakdown, I realized how important it is to be open and honest about mental health struggles. With the support of my close friend and co-host, Dirty Skittles, who was there for me throughout my recovery, I turned my personal experiences into something bigger—a platform for change.
Our podcast, Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads was born from the healing power of laughter and the strong bond of connection. Each episode features raw, honest conversations about mental health, often sprinkled with humor and personal stories, because I believe in the power of laughter to heal. Our goal is simple: to break mental health stigma and help our listeners feel seen, heard, and supported.
With over 700,000 downloads across more than 60 countries, Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads has grown beyond what I imagined. Through this podcast, I hope we can continue fostering open conversations and making resources like therapy and the 988 hotline more accessible to everyone who needs them.
