Welcome to the final episode of this season of Dem Bois Podcast! This has been an amazing year of holding space for folks to come and share their transitional stories, the feedback has been fantastic, and we hope to be back for season 2 soon. Today I share my mental health journey with you. I talk about my introduction to therapy at a young age, the different therapists I’ve worked with over the years, what I’ve learned in therapy and much more.

I talk:
Beginning my mental health journey at a young age - 6:35
A disclaimer to check on your “strong” friends - 11:20
My first experience with a therapist - 16:02
Navigating my mental health on my own - 20:18
Finally finding my current therapist - 32:14
Things that made my mental health better - 37:26
