Let's Talk About Trauma

We also discuss how toxic masculinity reflects in pop culture and how musicians like Elton John, Iggy Pop, Shawn Mendes + Harry Styles (to name a few) have challenged the narrative of what society deems as masculine (and how they continuously work to redefine it by embracing who they are).

As a community that emphasizes all things mental health, we then equally emphasize the exploration of self. Who am I? What do I need to feel fulfilled? What makes me happy?

I met Samantha in 2006 and have since been following her journey around the globe. After relocations to England and Dubai, she meets us today in Namibia where we talk about how she found personal freedom and a strong sense of agency through travelling.

This podcast may be useful if: You're feeling stuck or stagnate mentally or physically, and are looking to increase self exploration but are not sure how
