**Trigger Warning: abuse, sexual assault, molestation, PTSD, mental health, trauma**In this episode, I'm joined by Joey Garza, founder of Above The Stigma, a non profit whose mission is to de-stigmatize mental health. We get real as fuck and shoot the shit about men and mental health, sexual assault, child molestation and the barriers that men face in getting the help they need to thrive mentally. I'm in awe and inspired by Joey. He's an amazingly resilient human being with a heart of gold and I'm so proud of him and honored to be a safe space where he can share his story. You can follow Above The Stigma on IG @_abovethestigma_ and learn more about their endeavors, donate money (don't be cheap, heaux!), contact Joey at
