Wayne Brady posted that he was on this show on Instagram, so I listened. I’ve been feeling especially anxious and depressed lately and hoped to gain some wisdom from the show. Overall, it has some good tips about the importance of understanding yourself, reaching out to others, reflecting on what’s going well and what’s not, etc. For anyone who has had therapy, meditation and or coaching, it will be familiar to you. What turned me off was how much the host interjected herself into the interviews with her guests (I only listened to the one episode, it might be different in others). The guests on the episode I listened to all live in privilege (even if they didn’t grow up in it, they’re very well off financially now). Some of what they talked about doing that helped them is unattainable to me financially and I’m a fairly high earner. So this isn’t for everyone. It feels like it’s best for wealthier suburbanites. It wasn’t awful, just wasn’t great.

It feels refreshing to be able to presence a safe space surrounding the direction of mental health conversations. Great speakers selection!

Great first episode and hopeful it is followed by more important, meaningful conversations. End the stigma of mental health and creates connectivity among those that are passionate about making change.

Mental health is extremely important. I love hearing the different perspectives. I look forward to future episodes.

So happy I tuned in. I love that mental health is getting a platform in the podcast world. This episode talked to me in so many levels. I am so hooked on A million little things and as soon as I began to watch was intrigued with a show that captured the real world. It was great to here the creators insight and deep connection to the show. I am a huge Linkin Park fan and when Chester passed especially in the way he did, I was shook and also felt a deep sadness for many reasons, also because I knew exactly what his kids felt. I too lost my father to suicide and Talinda put it great when she said she didn’t want the kids to remember their father with negative backlash. Thank you for opening a door and bringing awareness to a topic that is to often bypassed. If this can touch one person to get help or even to help others view mental health in a different light thank you are accomplishing great things! Can’t wait for more episodes.
