Margaret Tiger is joined by Liz Casper, a former
doctor, author, and artist, for a deeply honest conversation
about mental health, mania, diagnosis, compassion, and healing.
Liz shares her journey from working in medicine to experiencing
mental health challenges from the patient’s side. This
conversation explores what it means to understand mental health
beyond labels, how stigma affects people seeking support, and why
compassion is essential in both healthcare and personal healing.
Together, Gina and Liz discuss the emotional reality of mania,
the courage it takes to accept help, and the process of
rebuilding identity after a life-changing diagnosis. They also
talk about creativity, storytelling, and the role of art and
writing in making sense of difficult seasons.

overwhelmed, or curious about what healing can look like when
