79: Why Our Mental Health System Is Failing – And How We Can Fix It!

Feeling frustrated by a system that only treats symptoms while ignoring root causes? I know I was. That’s why I sat down with Kimberly McCarthy, a health and wellness educator-turned-nurse, to uncover the critical gaps in our mental health system. For over 20 years, Kimberly worked with incarcerated youth and saw firsthand how neglected mental health care fuels bigger issues.

Determined to make a real difference, she left her career to become a nurse, diving deep into mental health care for young people. In this episode, she opens up about:

✅ The hidden flaws in mental health treatment

✅ How social media is impacting our youth’s well-being

✅ Why traditional therapy isn’t enough – and what actually works If you or someone you love is struggling with mental health, this conversation is for you.

We’re breaking down real solutions that can help move beyond symptom-focused care to lasting healing.
