Serious Mental Illness Resources for Families & Providers

Hello and welcome to The Holding it Together (Kinda) Podcast. I am your host Michael Mackniak and here we will get real in our conversations about Mental Illness and Caregiving, and the messy reality of keeping it all balanced.

No sugar-coating, no clinical jargon—just real talk about the hospitalizations, the medication battles, and the toll it takes on a home

This is for the parents, siblings, and partners who are doing the impossible every single day.
Holding It Together is a home for the overthinkers, the multitaskers, and anyone who feels like they’re one spilled coffee away from a meltdown.
