On this episode, I’m joined by Mike Joseph, born and raised in New York City, Mike is the host of two podcasts and a radio show, a mental health advocate and activist, and a wellness and sexuality educator. We begin by talking about what led Mike to go to therapy in the first place, and the importance of not feeling alone in these experiences. We then talk about both of our experiences sharing our stories around mental health, and I ask Mike where his instinct to challenge what masculinity means came from. Mike jumps into talking about fear around being ourselves, and I bring up the commonalities that exist between all of us, despite our differences. We then discuss the fear around being a parent, and how everyone’s stories are completely unique. We finish up by talking a bit about sexuality and polyamory, and the importance of asking yourself ‘why.’
