Episode 162: Impostors Are We

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! We wanted to let everyone know that September is Suicide Awareness/Prevention Month. As promised, we keep Mental Health Links available every episode. But For general Mental Health the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) [https://nami.org/Home] has great resources for people struggling with mental health concerns as well as their families. We also want to draw attention to this article [https://www.nami.org/blogs/nami-blog/october-2017/9-ways-to-fight-mental-health-stigma] on stigma from NAMI's site.

On today's episode we have the triumphant return of Chase [https://twitter.com/ManaCurves] after too long of an absence. We are also joined by returning guest Reinhardt [https://www.thereinhardtexperience.com/about] as the four Goblins attempt to tackle Impostor Syndrome. The cast previously discussed this topic way back in Episode 59 [https://zencastr.com/z/D0Od0FPS] through the lens of Tiana. Alex and Hobbes felt that this topic needed a revist and more perspectives. Also giving Chase the reins means we get more tangential video clips [https://youtu.be/1tO0QV6VYu4] to watch!

Again we would like to state that Black Lives Matter [https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/]

We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co [https://twitter.com/grindincoffeeco] a black, LGBT+ affiliated and owned, coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers. You can read more about their mission here [https://grindingcoffee.co/pages/about-us]. You can use our partner code [https://grindingcoffee.co/?ref=GOBLINLOREPODCA] for discounted coffee!

We also finally have a Linktree [https://linktr.ee/GoblinLore] with all of our discounts/resources
