Listen to These Four Podcasts to Learn More About Dealing With Mental Health
Four popular podcasts that will guide you into a journey of self-love, and help you along the way.
Hi, how are you? Have these past months been treating you well mentally? If not, you are not alone. Podcasts have become a way of providing us a sense of company and insight into many topics. They are a form of self-care. The following podcasts are famous for their mental health content.
‘Mad Chat’
‘Mad Chat’ hosted Sandy Allen talks about mental health and what our culture considers madness. The host, Allen, is a trans nonbinary that discusses neurodivergent. Neurodivergent describes brains that function significantly differently from the prevailing societal standard of “normal” in film, television, and cultural traditions. The podcast is funny despite the heavy topic. The lightness of the episodes gives you the feeling that you are hanging out with funny and smart friends.
‘Other’s People’s Problem’
The podcast is somewhat similar to another one called ‘Where Should We Begin’ but more personal.
‘No Feeling Is Final’
Honor Eastly, an Australian artist and mental health advocate, shares her own experience of having overwhelming suicidal thoughts. The show is for anyone who has wondered if life is worth living, and for those who are trying to understand their friend, partner, or child, who’s wrestled with those feelings themselves. It is heartbreaking and desperate, but also darkly funny and charming. The podcast is a story of identity and why we should stay alive.
Warning, the podcast touches on heavy subjects.
‘Truth Be Told’
You’ve been there before, tired and angry after a long day, week, months, and all you would like to do is vent or need a good laugh. ‘Truth be told’ does precisely all of that. Tonya Mosley, journalist, and host of the podcast, created the show to advise people of color and everyone going through a challenge to speak on things they can’t control. Each episode is based on questions submitted by the audience amplifying their calming and affirming ambient.
As you might know, podcasts are now getting ready to get their time in the small and big screen. Sadly none of the ones mentioned above are getting adapted yet, but we can still listen to them and educate ourselves more on mental health topics.
