State Of Mind Mental Health Podcast

Michael Stroh

Booking Overview

This is a mental-health interview show focused on psychology, recovery, neurodiversity, resilience, and the human stories behind personal change, typically featuring external practitioners, authors, subject-matter experts, and people with compelling lived experience. PR agencies could credibly pitch psychotherapists, psychologists, addiction-recovery specialists, neurodiversity experts, mental-health authors, and resilience-focused professionals; booking difficulty is medium because guests need clear expertise or a substantive personal story but do not appear to require celebrity-level prominence.

#124 - Why an ER Doctor Gave His Kidney to a Complete Stranger | Dr. Matt Harmody

September 30, 2026

What makes someone give a kidney to a complete stranger? In this episode of the State of Mind Mental Health Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Matt Harmody, a retired emergency physician, living kidney donor, and author of Ascending America. Matt walks me through leaving a stable engineering career at 30 before he had a single medical school acceptance, and what 25 years in the ER taught him about protecting his "empathy well" so compassion fatigue and burnout don't win. Then we get into the heart ...

September 09, 2026

Most people spend their lives seeking external validation, but Dr. Larry Freeney spent his proving he deserved to exist. Born in East Texas to a family that suggested his mother end the pregnancy, Larry grew up navigating complex racial identities and the shadows of the KKK. He shares how these early experiences formed a survival instinct that eventually drove him to extreme physical challenges like the Spartan Winter Death Race. We discuss how to build genuine emotional stability when your f...

August 24, 2026

I sit down with Jay Setchell — Marine Corps veteran, serial entrepreneur, and author — who has died and been brought back more than once. At nineteen, Jay was declared dead in Vietnam. Seventeen months and twelve days into his service. He spent the next year in a hospital, then fought seventeen more years for the disability rating he'd already been promised. In 1973, a drunk driver hit him nearly head on; he describes watching the scene from outside his own body. Then on the Fourth of July, 1...
