In this episode of Mental Health & Me, host Natalie Souders sits down with special guest Linsay Rundell to recount a "bucket list" hike up Pike's Peak that spiraled wildly out of control.

What started as a scenic outdoor adventure quickly turned into a job of managing disappointment and reshaping expectations. No doubt there were some questionable decisions, unexpected panic, and a mountain with a serious attitude problem.

Natalie and Linsay break down the moment things went sideways, how their mental health played a role in the chaos, and what they learned when the universe (and the altitude) decided to remind them of its power.

Join us for laughter, honesty, and a surprisingly heartfelt reflection on fear, resilience, and the stories we tell when we finally make it back down the mountain.

In this episode of Mental Health & Me, therapist Natalie Souders explores one of psychology's most unsettling yet fascinating studies — the Milgram Experiment.

Why do ordinary people obey authority, even when it goes against their morals? Natalie unpacks the experiment's design, the ethical controversy it sparked, and what it reveals about human behavior, conformity, and compassion.

Join Natalie as she connects these insights to everyday life — from workplace dynamics to social pressures — and helps us reflect on how understanding obedience can empower us to make more conscious, compassionate choices.
