MentaliTea

For Episode 11 of MentaliTea we sat down with Chloe Estelle to discuss Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, the Autism Spectrum and the details and differences between them. Through her many projects and experiences, we learned what it was like to grow up with Autism; form her own identity alongside her twin sister; pursue her major in college; and create an organization called Ourtism, which helps others on the Autism Spectrum to set and achieve their own goals. Beside her during this journey (and this recording!), has been her trusty service dog Benj... and we're just going to apologize ahead of time if we were a bit distracted by him at times. Join us as we spill the tea on Autism!

For episode 10 of MentaliTea we sat down with Ashley Kristoff to discuss her journey with Thyroid Cancer, from the diagnosis, to the treatment, to the years afterward. Not only did we learn of some of the warning signs and methods to cope, but we also learned of the strength and dedication it takes to push forward, and how her work at The Mighty helped her realize the importance of priotorizing her mental health post cancer. Along the way we sip on some extravagant tea while sharing laughs about what “eye of the wizard” could possibly mean (either way, we’re going to start a trend, we know it!) Please join us as we spill the tea on Cancer.

A subject so large we needed 4 people! Newlyweds Katie and Alex sit down and discuss how each of them not only handle their own mental health, but how they handle it together.

Even though you may not be able to see sounds, we hope you learn what it's like to see through his eyes with the sound of our voices.

Hosts Camara and Zack travel to the state capitol of California to discuss mental health in the workplace with Seth Y..
