Earth to Gert

Earth to Gert is a raw, honest podcast about mental health, healing, and what it really takes to feel better—from someone who’s lived it. I’m Gert: a health coach, mom of twins, recovering codependent, and classic U-Haul lesbian who spent most of my life battling anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. This show isn’t about perfection or pretending. It’s about doing the work—whatever that looks like for you. Each week, I dive into the raw, messy, beautiful process of healing the brain, regulating the nervous system, and creating a life that feels like yours. Sometimes it’s just me, sometimes I bring in guests from my own life who have powerful stories to tell. Expect blunt honesty, some swearing, and a whole lot of love. New episodes every Thursday from Mental Health Awareness Month (May) through Suicide Awareness Month (September).
