This week we are so lucky to have on the show licensed mental health counselor and longtime LGBTQIA+ ally, Kathy Redwine. She and I vibe over our shared interests regarding mental health and the ways that we as a society are handling/not handling it. We discuss emotional intelligence, de-stigmatizing mental illness, and mental health support for the queer community.
