In this episode of Get Savvy…Demystifying Healthcare, Sandy Kibling sits down with Dr. Fred Moss—psychiatrist, coach, and founder of Welcome to Humanity—to challenge the way we talk about Mental Health.
Dr. Fred shares his “Un-Doctor” approach: moving beyond labels, over-pathologizing, and quick fixes to focus on something many people never get in healthcare—being genuinely heard.
Together, they unpack how communication, authenticity, and connection can shift how we experience Anxiety, Stress, and emotional pain, and how listeners can advocate for themselves (and their loved ones) in a system that often rushes to diagnose.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I normal?” this conversation will give you a fresh, empowering lens.
