Did you know creative writing has the power to help you process emotions? No? Well, pull up a chair and settle in for an incredible conversation about creativity and emotional expression. When we think of creativity, we often imagine the lofty masterpieces—the flawless expressions of humanity and feeling and passion. And with this expectation of perfection, creative writing (and painting and crafting) can seem really intimidating…

The truth is, finding a creative outlet for emotional expression is super beneficial to your mental health. And it’s often a personalized journey—what works for some or most may not necessarily work for you. Jake Ernst, a therapist AND creative, has some cool tips for you! Tune in to hear his thoughts on the matter and learn how to use creativity for your own emotional expression.

Rachael Kable drops in all the way from Australia to talk about mindfulness.

So much of our time is spent planning for the future, thinking about the past, and searching for distractions or dopamine… leaving very little time to actually be present. And that’s where mindfulness can be a huge help. It’s really just making an effort to be aware of our thoughts and feelings in the current moment.

Justin and Rachael also chat about whether or not binge-watching The Office counts as mindfulness, why she started her podcast, how weird the concept of time zones is, and what a fortnight is.

Rachael’s mindfulness resource recommendations: bit.ly/3LJD5Fm

Therapist and activist Hannah Fuhlendorf drops in with Dr. J to share her tips on sustaining yourself while advocating for all of the causes you care about. Because if we’re being honest, you won’t be dismantling systemic racism or solving global warming all by yourself in one day. You’ll need to do it sustainably.

They talk about who counts as an “activist” (spoiler: it’s not just the people with the megaphones), what activists can do to avoid burnout, and how to be an activist in a way that really fits with your life. And you know what else is really important to activism? Community. Hannah shares why a collective effort is really important.
