We're wrapping up our Arc on stigma in mental health with a conversation about the past, present, and future of mental health in the military. Don, a veteran of the 101st Airborne in Desert Storm, provides us with firsthand experience on the evolution of our understanding of things like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and the toll of combat.

Today we talk about popular media and cultural representations of mental illnesses, and the stigma that perpetuates. We also share some positive examples of mental illness in pop culture, and explore a future in which there is more open, honest dialogue about caring for our mental health.

Welcome to a brand new arc of the Relationship Road Trip! This time we're taking a new route and instead of talking about relationships, we're going to talk broadly about mental health, and then do some deep dives into various stigmas and cultural challenges that folks with mental health illnesses face.

We're swapping vehicles this week to a motorcycle with a sidecar. Which leaves our poor Backseat Driver kinda out of place.

The subject this week is single parenting. We spend a lot of time talking about dual parent families, but there are a lot of unique challenges single parents face. Tune in this week for statistics, advice, and resources on single parenting.

Oh this is also the end of Arc 3 and parent child relationships! Next time we'll be diving into a new Arc around stigmas in mental health. It's a little different than our usual subjects, so don't miss it!
