April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month — and this year marks its 25th anniversary. In this episode, we explore what actually happens inside the brain and body after sexual trauma: why survivors freeze instead of fight, why memory becomes fragmented, and why shame rewires the way we see ourselves. With words from Tarana Burke, Dr. Judith Herman, and Brené Brown, we honor the strength it takes to survive — and the courage it takes to heal. This is not a story of brokenness. This is a story of a brain that did exactly what it needed to do to keep you alive.

Bipolar disorder is one of the most misunderstood conditions in mental health — and one of the most commonly misdiagnosed. In this episode, we break down what bipolar disorder actually looks like, explore the signs of mania and depression that often go unnoticed, and hear from the voices of those who have lived it through powerful reflections from published memoirs. If you’ve ever wondered whether your highs feel too high or your lows feel too low, this one is for you.

What does success really look like when your mind is fighting battles no one else can see? In this debut episode of Comorbid Minds, we dive into the pressure to "have it all together" while silently navigating anxiety, depression, or any of the invisible struggles so many of us carry. We talk about the guilt of slowing down, the myth of productivity as self-worth, and why achieving your goals doesn't always mean you're okay. Because success without mental health isn't success, it's survival. Let's start the conversation.
