Dr. Denise and her beloved dog Boomer
Happy Friday, my friends!
When I received a confirmation email from psychiatrist Dr. Denise McDermott that I’d be a guest on her show, I was nervous. Then I freaked and considered canceling. You see, before I had contacted her to be a guest, I checked out her credentials and they were impressive and intimidating!
When I listened to her podcast archives I felt better. She was warm, personable, and nothing like 99% of the psychiatrists I’ve encountered. Dr. Denise believes in the mind-body-spirit connection.
Dr. Denise believes in the mind-body-spirit connection. She’s traditionally trained—I’m not saying she’s a mega-granola-eating, patchouli-drenched physician-hippie (a “phippie”??!!), BUT she believes in combining allopathic and holistic approaches. She’s a proponent of using the least amount of meds necessary. That is very cool.
As soon as we began recording our podcast, Dr. Denise completely set me at ease. We just jumped right in and I felt like I was talking with a friend. There was none of that lofty “pdoc” attitude (i.e. “I’m an M.D. and I’m clearly better than you! You’re a M.D.-degree-less nothing!”)
We’re about the same age and we share some of the same cultural references, plus she’s based in Southern California and some of you know that’s where I grew up.

Really good interview!
You are TOO kind….and I LOVE it!!!!!!!!👍

A breathe of newness that Dr Denise is. Will definitely get her book. Neurostyles is so cool and definitely more empathetic. Glad you didn’t freak out and cancel…such is one of the consequences of dem neurostyles. Thanks for sharing lady
Hello beautiful Lady M.! I like the word “neurostyles” too!!!
By the way, my Mom left me a voicemail message today and she mentioned she had re-read your Amazon review about my book this morning. She said how VERY smart and eloquent you are!!!!!
You have another fan!
💗
Smart and eloquent! Wow that is so thoughtful and it just blew me off hahaha
And Marie….she is SUPER PICKY!!!!!! Please take that as a HUGE compliment!!!!!!!!!
Like I don’t know? I wish I could bold print out her remark and frame it to add on my wall of inspiration. Please, zut play that voice mail again and type out exactly what she says and send to me, thank you so much darling
Wee, look at you! You’re a chatting professionally speaking starry person, O Empress Percolatia! I bet you’d kick toast at the Toastmasters now! xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I’d kick toast 🍞 and then some, ha ha ha!!!!
My daughter is taking Leadership class in 7th grade and the students have access to the full-size Panther school mascot outfit; they can sign up to wear it and walk around the campus to raise student spirit during recess.
How I’d love to wear that thing for Toastmasters – I’ve always loved the anonymity of wearing masks, and being the Panther would take that to a whole other level. My speech would be about panther safety, of course! 😉
p.s. yes, I know that was a very silly reply, but would you expect nothing less from your devoted friend?
☕️
LMAO! That’s just awesome, Empress, and makes my Sunday! And hey, why not wear the costume? It takes a lot of skill to project one’s voice through that costume head! 😉 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Congratulations, Dyane! You’ve done such a good job putting yourself out there. Dr. Denise sure is personable!
Thanks, lovely Cass! It’s hard to put myself out there – thanks for acknowledging that.
Re: Dr. Denise— I have a great psychiatrist & he’s retiring in a couple years and when that happens, I want Dr. Denise to open a third location in this neck of the woods!
