Episode 13: Madaline Barnes – We Did It Again... We Accidentally Booked Another Expert

It's happening more often than we'd like to admit... another guest who's actually qualified and supervised.

In Episode 13 of Rod & Chris: Unqualified and Unsupervised, therapist and neuroscientist Madaline Barnes joins us for a fascinating conversation about grief, mental health, and how our brains respond to loss. With a career path that began in statistics before leading her into therapy and grief counseling, Madaline brings a unique perspective that's both practical and deeply compassionate.

We talk about helping adolescents navigate grief, why everyone experiences loss differently, and how to recognize when grief may be developing into depression. It's an honest, approachable conversation that helps make sense of one of life's most confusing experiences.

Don't worry... Rod and Chris still manage to keep things from sounding like a college lecture.

In this episode you'll hear:

• Why grief looks different for everyone
• Helping adolescents process loss in healthy ways
• The difference between grief and depression
• What neuroscience can teach us about healing
• Practical insights for anyone supporting a grieving loved one
