On this episode, Ryan (University of Massachusetts student) and I discuss about how it feels to be a short man in this society, how physical pain is intricately linked to our mental health, and how being biracial can make us feel left out and lonely. We share our experiences and struggles, being vulnerable in order to bring this conversation out and hope for more awareness.

On part II of my conversation with Craig Randall, we reassess what hope actually means and how watered down it has become through the media. We also talk on how hope can help us re-frame our reality--challenge us to not identify ourselves with our mental struggles. Craig has been one of the few people in my life that has given me hope and great encouragement in my mental health journey, and I am personally so grateful to have talked to him. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Also make sure to check out his Instagram account @craigrandallwriting for his take on hope in his haiku's and also to get updates about his soon-to-be published books!

Listen to see how hope has helped him in his journey and how he views hope in different way from what the mass media shows. Hope you enjoy part 1 and stay tuned for part 2 next week to see what Craig's definition of hope is.

On this episode, Erandi (first year UvA PPLE student) and I discuss about how our upbringing in Asian communities affect our narratives about seeking help and looking into our mental health problems. We talk about how in our communities seeking help for mental health seems like a  luxury, how our parent's generations grew up not being educated about mental health, and how the grind culture in our communities encourage us  to ignore our personal problems.
