Episode 2, Mike Campbell and Tom Lawrence go deeper into what permission actually is. Instead of just asking how to share, explore why we don't.

• The Internal Gatekeeper: Discuss the idea that we often wait for someone else to ask "Are you okay?" before we feel allowed to speak. Why do we feel we need an invitation to be human?
• The "Imposter" Barrier: Men, in particular, often feel their struggles aren't "heavy" enough to warrant sharing compared to others. Mike can touch on dismantling the "I shouldn't complain" mindset.
• Safety in Sharing: How "giving yourself permission" actually gives others the green light to do the same. It’s a leadership trait, not a weakness.
