Mike explains how his mom's conversion to Christian Science led to an event that forever changed his life; the differences between how men and women experience mental illness; and how mental illness can change your perception and behavior.

Adriel Martiez reflects on living with a mom who had an untreated severe mental illness, which resulted in him ending up in foster care when he was ten years old, where he learned to be strong and take care of himself. Adriel is a decorated Army Combat veteran who served 2 tours in Afghanistan; he discusses the issues soldiers face during service, including mental health and how sometimes the best healing comes from talking with other soldiers. Adriel also talks about his passion for politics, and how being heavily involved in the Idaho political scene since he was 17, and running for office 3 times, left him feeling disillusioned about the political machine in Idaho.

Todd opens up about being raised in a toxic and abusive LDS family; processing and overcoming his own misogyny; navigating his ego to learn to better control his emotions; addresses the spanking versus time-out parenting-style debate; managing his ADHD without medication; and intergenerational trauma and mental illness impacts society.
