Prevention Nation

Did you know today is International Men's Day? We are celebrating all men who make this world a better place! We're taking this time to discuss the importance of men's health and well-being.

We've seen two stories on the internet lately (mostly TikTok) getting quite a bit of attention. Both of these are similar in the way people are responding to men protecting themselves against being assaulted by the opposite gender. Let's discuss the double standards for males and females going on within our society.

International Men's Day is November 19th. This month we are recognizing and supporting all men on the journey to greater health and a healing journey.

SPOILER ALERT! We don't give too much away but we're talking honestly about all that has happened so far in this show.

Have you ever noticed how the media covers a story about rape or sexual assault? What we hear on a constant basis can start to influence our view on this matter. Potentially leading to us becoming victim advocates or reinforcing rape culture. We're discussing about a specific case, but the media portrays this narrative for more often than not.

We found a very encouraging tik tok of a politician being kind to a stranger. Makes us wonder, how hard is it to just choose kindness towards other? Let's discuss.

This podcast isn't all about Simone Biles, but a larger conversation going on. Roy and Holly discuss the pressures of sports, unrealistic expectations, forcing unnecessary rules on athletes, sexualization of women, and sexual assault behind the scenes. It's a lot of content, but we hope you enjoy and really consider what we are teaching each other and the next generation.

You can listen to a lot of commentaries out there on the Britney Spears conservatorship controversy around podcast land. We decided to sit down and talk about the parallels between Britney's situation and thousands of other survivors experiencing domestic violence. This isn't an isolated incident, different forms of violence keep happening in all kinds of relationships, but we're here to hopefully prevent this from happening or help someone experiencing this.

We've also finished season 1 of Prevention Nation! Join us soon for season 2 soon
