in this raw and unscripted episode, i challenge harmfulnarratives of hyper-individualism and explore why community care is essential for survival, especially for trauma survivors failed & often retraumatized by the mental health industrial complex.

let's talk about:

• why telling people to "just call your therapist" when they reach out is harmful - and what to do instead
• why community care is the antidote to hyper-individualism
• how to show up for your community in specific.meaningful ways that honor both your capacity and others' needs by using a tool i call "the support menu"

this episode is a love letter to anyone who's ever been toldthey're a burden—spoiler: you're not. we owe each other care, and together, we can survive and thrive.
