Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast! May is Mental Health Awareness Month and the plan is for all the episodes this month to relate to important topics within Mental Health. We are also participating (along with other excellent creators) in #MentalHealthMtG and attempting to raise money for MH Organizations!!

In today's episode we have the return of Chase!!!! She helps Hobbes and Alex revisit a topic from way back in Episode 30: Nissa and Burnout. The hosts talk about their experiences with this topic as well as the nature of Burnout during a Pandemic. This again is a tough topic given that the first step is awareness that Burnout is even occurring. The hosts discuses some ideas on how to do this and ways to practice things such as self-compassion! As a reminder you can find links to MH Resources below.

We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co a black, LGBT+ affiliated and owned, coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers. You can read more about their mission here. You can use our partner code for discounted coffee!

As promised, we plan to keep these Mental Health Links available moving forward too. For general Mental Health the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has great resources for people struggling with mental health concerns as well as their families. We also want to draw attention to this article on stigma from NAMI's site.
