This week on Pod Friends, lets go “full bloom” together, for a raw conversation with RHAP’s own Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType). Mike and host Matt Scott (@MattScottGW) have a casual, unhinged, heart-warming, vulnerable chat about parenting, interviewing reality TV stars, Mike’s proudest moments as an interviewer, his relationship with feedback, mental health and the real struggle, self-care, new hobbies, and just a few of the people who have supported him along the way.

Interview starts around the 10 minute mark.

Trigger warning as this episode does include frank conversation about mental health and suicide. Take time to pause and take care of yourself along the way, and reach out to a crisis line near you. One option — offering both text chat and live call support to folks — is 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (formerly the National Suicide Prevention Hotline) which you can find at https://988lifeline.org or by calling 988 in the US.
