Arts Meets Advocacy
My two biggest passions are art and helping others, and podcasts let me combine both. I share my work and lived experience to show listeners they’re not alone while spreading the art I create. Check out the podcasts I’ve had the honor of appearing on!
AT Parenting Survival: Raising Kids with OCD & Anxiety
“In this heartfelt and insightful episode, I sit down with Mia Mason, the creative force behind Worry’s Whispers, a beautifully illustrated collection of poems that gives voice to anxiety, fear, and the quiet corners of the inner world that so many of us know all too well.
Mia and I explore the origins of her work, what inspired her to turn internal dialogue into poetic expression, and how Worry’s Whispers serves as both a mirror and a companion for people navigating anxiety — whether persistent, sudden, quiet, or loud.”

Stories and Stanza
“In this episode of Stories and Stanza, we interview writer, illustrator, and mental health advocate Mia Mason about her book Worry's Whispers — a collection of illustrated poems woven together with a graphic-novel section following Drew's journey through OCD and anxiety, from isolation to seeking help, diagnosis, and resilience. Mia shares her own lived experience of OCD — the "sticky" intrusive thoughts, morality fears, and reassurance-seeking compulsions — and describes OCD as a ghost named Worry whose whispers can fade to background noise with treatment. She talks about how therapy-inspired drawings evolved into the book's format, how digital art became a tool for advocacy, and why values-based action — doing meaningful things despite fear — is central to healing.”
