Mental Health Much?

This is it, the big episode I have been prepping for since the start of this season: the episode on the diet culture and the wellness industry.

Join Jordan and I as we discuss our relationship with dieting, discover facts about the wellness industry and debunk some of our preconceptions about food. An episode not to be missed!

On this episode, my friend Darcy comes on the show to discuss gay relationships for gay men of sizes, through the community of chubs and chasers. In this episode, we discuss size stigma, loneliness, feeling invisible in the community, and how to be a better ally to fat people.

In this week’s “mini episode,” Jordan and I interview The James Arrow, to talk about body diversity and radical acceptance. From his experience navigating gay culture as an Asian man living with a disability to the making of a body diverse community calendar, James talks about his activism and about not giving a f*ck.

This week, Jordan and I are discussing body image in the context of gay sex and relationships. We will first discuss body insecurities and beauty norms, then we will talk about the gay scene and dating apps. After, we will explore the topic of sex and porn, to finish the conversation on normative discontent, and how we tend to criticize and view our bodies in our communities.

A truthful and vulnerable episode, not to miss.

In this very long special spooky episode, I have the privilege to interview AJ from fellow Canadian podcast Crime Family. AJ and I talk about the phenomenon of true crimes’ podcasts and documentaries, how they became so popular, why people love them so much and how they can affect our mental health. In the second section of the episode, AJ and I are discussing mental health, crimes, and the law. Stay tuned for a very unique and interesting conversation.

On the last episode of season 2 of Mental Health Much, I receive Brendan to discuss a very important question: why should we go to therapy, when we are feeling unwell before of systemic world stressors? In this conversation without a clear answer, we talk about capitalism, burning out, watching the news and, obviously, video games.

Thank you everyone for a phenomenal second season, and I will see you again very soon.

Pour le dernier épisode francophone de la saison 2, je reçois nul autre que la sensation TikTok Mx Jimmy Blow pour parler identité et sentiment d’appartenance. Avec Jimmy, nous discutons de ne pas trouver sa place dans la scène gay, de l’importance d’être soi-même et de sobriété. Un épisode parfait pour tous les gens qui se sont sentis différents un jour ou l’autre.
