If you're a parent or not, this will help you reflect on how toxic masculinity has shaped your views and how you can break the cycle of toxic masculinity, mental health stigmas and reclaim your power as a child sexual abuse survivor.

Quentin shared on how he manages anxiety, what it can look like for others, and why it's important to get to the root of anxiety and not deal with it as a surface symptom.

We also talked about equity in communities of color and how this impacts mental health services and more!

Shout out to Rebekah Borucki for making the connection for Quentin and me!

Sleep is more valuable than we give credit for. In particular, when it comes to healing our traumas, sleep has the power to restore our mental wellness as a part of our healing process.

This is one of the reasons I invited my guest Meredith Louden on to the show. Meredith helps people with insomnia learn how to fall asleep without the use of drugs or tricks. She is the founder of Healing Insomnia from Within. She's developed an effective strategy for regaining the ability to fall asleep easily, quickly, and consistently, using the fundamental understandings of how the brain actually works.

I know this episode seems oddly related to CONSENT, but you'll understand the connections when you listen! Enjoy and be sure to share your feedback on your favourite takeaways!
