  • Strong Minds, Stronger Roads: Mental Health & Self-Care for Life Behind the Wheel

    Strong Minds, Stronger Roads: Mental Health & Self-Care for Life Behind the Wheel
    Jul 8 2025

    On this week’s Highway to Health segment of Road Gang Radio, host Jimmy Mac sits down with Dr. Naomi L. Friedberg, a licensed psychologist based in Lafayette, Louisiana, who specializes in treating anxiety disorders and stress-related conditions. Together, they explore the unique mental health challenges faced by long-haul truckers—from isolation on the road and missing life at home to the pressure of being both dependable and emotionally distant.

    Dr. Friedberg breaks down the difference between stress, anxiety, and burnout—and why understanding them matters. She shares practical ways to identify when you're not just “tired” but burned out, when sadness might be something more, and how even the toughest drivers can benefit from real self-care (no bubble bath required).

    They also tackle the stigma around mental health, discuss the value of seeking help, and explain how telehealth can make professional support more accessible for drivers on the move. It's a real, relatable conversation about being human in a hard job—and how taking care of your mind can keep your wheels turning.
