In this episode, we explore how embarrassment, social pressure, and the need for permission show up in everyday life—and what that reveals about mental health.

Key Takeaways:

• Why people wait for others before taking action (doors, cake, and more)
• How embarrassment manifests physically and influences behavior
• The power of being the “first slice”—giving permission for others to follow
• Mental health isn’t just about resources—it’s about creating safe spaces to act
