  • A Very Drunk Thanksgiving Special (ft. Jorge)
    We were extremely drunk when we recorded this special Thanksgiving episode on the floor of Ram’s house, and honestly I have no idea what we talked about (my drunk alter ego La Chica Carmen came out). This year has been surreal, it’s been full of highs and lows but I realize how fortunate I am to be able to laugh through my emo moments with Ram. This podcast started off from a lot of pain, and it’s been amazing to see how it’s transformed our lives. Each conversation has healed me in some way, and helped me accept different parts of myself. We have no idea what the future holds in terms of the Boyz since I’m moving away, and if we encounter a deep deep abyss in the future I am grateful for the things we accomplished. Thank you to everyone who shared their stories with us, and trusted us even though we like barely knew each other lol. The holidays can suck sometimes so listen to this if you want to laugh, there is singing, and incoherent rambling. Thank you to everyone who’s listened to us, and supported us, we family, especially since you know our deepest traumas, and vulnerabilities. Lol.

  • Working in Mental Health w/ Mitch and Ryan
    Join us this episode as we share space and talk about working within the field of mental health with Mitch Collins, a program director for a program working with individuals with mental illness in that face the legal system, and Ryan Smith, in process to get his LCSW. Both have extensive experience in the mental health field and this episode of Boyz gives a lot of insight in the inner workings of the mental health system as a whole. We also talk about Mitch and Ryan's own individual journeys and how their path led them to what they do today. They show also how mental health workers deal with their own health and, at the end of the day, they're humans just like us but individuals that chose to hear out the pain of people that often go unspoken.
    Mitch and Ryan are also starting their own podcast called "Radical Minds" talking more about their experiences working in the mental health field. If you liked this episode and want to hear more from them, take a listen and go support fellow mental health podcasters!

  • Anger w/ Marco
    "Anger is a mask"
    We dive deep with our good friend Marco about how anger hides the pain that we are feeling inside. Anger comes from many sources but finding the root of the pain anger hides usually leads to childhood trauma. And oooo boy we do get into it this episode! At the end of the day, anger is just grief in disguise and we talk through the ways we could release that anger.
    Come be angry with us this episode!

  • Spirituality w/ Justus and Steelo
    Two artists, Justus and Steelo, join us today on the pod to talk a lot about their relationship with spirituality/religion, music and how that helps them with their mental health. While not all of you are probably religious or spiritual, I think their lived experience gives good insight in how other people use their spirituality to help them through their life and maybe you can give it a try yourself!

About Boyz Do Cry

From the publisher's feed

Authentic and honest conversations about mental health. Hosted by two students Ram Reyes and Paulina Rodriguez-Ruiz, each week we talk about how we are feeling — how we are actually feeling — and try to make sense of the things going on in our heads. We invite guests — ranging from our personal friends or mental health professionals — to share their stories and talk about their experiences.
