Real people. Real places. No studio walls required.
Stigma Shift is a podcast about mental health, recovery, purpose, leadership, stigma, and the stories people usually tell after the microphone is turned off.
Sometimes we record at your business. Sometimes in your community. Sometimes on a trail. The setting changes. The conversation stays real.
The microphone stayed. The walls didn’t.
Stigma Shift began as a radio show on KRIM 96.3 FM, creating space for direct conversations about mental health, addiction, recovery, stigma, community, and what it actually takes to change a life.
The next chapter keeps that same spirit but takes the show out into the places where people actually live their stories.
The goal is not a perfectly polished interview. The goal is a conversation somebody listening to can recognize themselves inside.
Different places. Same kind of honesty.
The format is built around the guest and the story rather than forcing every conversation into the same studio chair.
On the Trail
Walking conversations in Sedona and across Arizona where movement, landscape, and story can share the same frame.
On Location
Your business, nonprofit, workspace, community, event, or another place connected to who you are and what you do.
Long-Form Conversation
Enough room to move past elevator pitches and into the parts of the story that actually matter.
Audio + Video
Episodes can be produced for podcast listening, video platforms, clips, and social media storytelling.
Stories worth getting beneath the surface of.
Stigma Shift is broad enough to follow the person, but grounded in conversations that connect back to mental health, change, purpose, and what makes us human.
You do not need a famous name. You need something real to say.
This Could Be a Good Fit If You…
- Have lived experience you are ready to talk about responsibly
- Work in mental health, recovery, justice, healthcare, education, or community service
- Are building something meaningful in Arizona
- Have a story that can help somebody feel less alone
- Can talk honestly about both struggle and what came next
- Want a conversation rather than a commercial
Probably Not the Right Fit If…
- You only want to sell a product for an hour
- You need every question scripted in advance
- You want shock value without responsibility
- You cannot discuss your topic without attacking or demeaning other people
- You are looking for clinical endorsement the show cannot provide
- You are not ready for a candid conversation
New Episodes Coming Soon
Stigma Shift is leaving the studio and heading into the places where real stories happen. New conversations are currently being lined up across Arizona—on location, in the community, and on the trail.
Want to be part of the first season? Pitch yourself, recommend a guest, or tell us about a conversation worth recording.
One conversation. More than one place to hear it.
The best conversations rarely begin with “So, tell me about your brand.”
If you are in Arizona, coming through Arizona, or have a story that belongs on Stigma Shift, reach out and tell me why we should sit down—or hit the trail.
Podcast conversations may include sensitive topics such as mental health, trauma, addiction, suicide prevention, incarceration, and recovery. Stigma Shift is educational and conversational media, not clinical treatment or individualized medical or mental health advice.
