The discourse surrounding Cheyenne Bryant has sparked a larger conversation: what happens when social media turns questions about someone’s credentials into a viral narrative?

In this episode, we unpack the debate around whether someone is accurately representing their professional credentials and why that distinction matters—especially in the mental health space, where misinformation can have real consequences.

We discuss how social media can encourage people to build narratives from clips, assumptions, and incomplete information, while algorithms reward certainty and outrage over nuance. We also explore the responsibility we all have to slow down, verify credentials, distinguish opinion from professional expertise, and consider the potential impact of the information we share.

Questioning someone's credentials is fair. But so is checking the facts before turning a question into a conclusion.

When mental health is involved, accuracy isn't optional. The responsibility to seek the truth belongs to all of us.
