About the Show

OTR – Achieving Mental Health for Real is a podcast about you.
Ordinary people. Extraordinary stories of recovery.
OTR stands for Over the Rainbow — the original name of the show.
I kept it, because it still applies.
Episode 2, Home, explains why.
You’ll hear from educators, doctors, life coaches —
and from people who live with ADHD, OCD, Bipolar, PTSD, Dyslexia, and more.
We talk about techniques. We talk about truth.
But the hardest and most important technique is this:
Love yourself.
That’s not easy.
I’ve struggled with ADHD, OCD, severe anxiety, depression, and dyslexia.
I found a way to survive.
This site is for you — to help you find your way out.
This is a not-for-profit podcast.
I don’t do this for wealth.
I do it so no one has to suffer needlessly from lack of knowledge.
I want my own suffering to mean something.
I’m still learning how to make a better show.
Yes, I talk about ADHD — but I balance it across episodes.
We believe OTR means Mental Health for Real.
Let the content reach you.
Tell me you listened.
Tell me what helps. Tell me what doesn’t.
I’ll never ask for donations.
Your money can go where it’s free.
Wix may show ads to keep the site cost-free.
I live on Disability and SSA, so my budget is limited —
but this mission is not.
We speak in voices of your own.
It is your journey.
Stay tuned. Stay real. Stay home.
