In this episode, we’re diving deep into mental health — the real kind. The kind that hides behind “I’m fine,” and often goes unnoticed.

We talk about the pressure to have it all together, the masks we wear, and why it’s so important to check in on the people who seem “okay.” You’ll hear a raw conversation with Lisa from Lifeline, plus reflections on stigma, identity, and what actually helps when things feel heavy.

This one’s a reminder that no matter how it looks on the outside, most people are carrying something — and you never know the difference a real conversation can make.

We unpack:
– Why surface-level conversations aren’t enough
– The impact of stigma and why silence can be dangerous
– The pressure to always be strong — and what strength really is
– How to support a mate (even when you don’t know what to say)
– The simple things that ground us when life feels overwhelming

Quote of the episode:
“Most people aren’t looking for a fix — they’re looking to feel seen.”

If this one hits home, send it to someone you care about. You never know who might need it today.
