Today we honor the sacrifice of our veterans—past and present.

But let’s also remember: their battles don’t always end when service does.

Veterans are 58% more likely to die by su***de than non-veterans and the drug-overdose mortality rate among U.S. veterans has increased by 53% in recent years.

These numbers are more than statistics, they are real lives and real families realities.

If you’re reading this and know a veteran—or you are one—please know you are not alone.
Your breath is your power. Your story matters.

And the most important battle to win is the one for YOURSELF!

Don’t let stigma stop you from getting the support you deserve.

Thank you for your service—and for choosing every day to .

If your podcast explores identity, culture, or systemic gaps in care—we need to talk.

🎙️ Topics I unpack:

Why “strong” keeps Black and brown women from seeking help

How representation is mental health strategy

What culturally competent care actually looks like

Systems that build real trust—not just pretty policies

📩 DM or comment below if your audience is tired of surface-level DEI and wants the truth about mental health access.

For women of color, “getting help” often means:

Explaining why your name matters

Translating your emotions into clinical language

Shrinking so the space feels “comfortable” for others

And we wonder why people don’t use their benefits?

If your workplace wants to boost utilization and support, start by making care believable.
That means training your people—not just paying a provider.

📩 DM “REPRESENTATION” if your org is ready to move from awareness to access.

Let’s be clear:

Mental health benefits without cultural competence are not benefits.
They’re a PR move.

Women of color don’t just need access.
We need care that doesn’t mislabel us, ignore us, or gaslight our pain.

Your systems weren’t built for us.
And unless you're actively reworking them, they’re still failing us.

Want your team to feel safe before they break down?

Don’t wait for another crisis to admit the system isn’t working.
Let’s build something that actually sees your staff.

You told them to “go get help.”
But did you ask if the help sees them? Knows them? Respects them?

When people of color, especially women seek care, they still face bias, dismissal, and erasure.
This isn’t about awareness anymore. This is about systems.

Your team can't access what doesn’t include them.
Representation isn't a trend, it’s access.

📩 DM “REPRESENTATION” if your organization is ready to make care culturally responsive.

If your podcast is tired of surface-level “wellness at work” conversations—let’s get real.

We’re unpacking:
• What actual mental health support looks like
• Why “benefits” don’t matter if no one uses them
• How systems of healing create cultures that retain their people

This isn’t a self-care pep talk.
It’s strategy for workplaces that are serious about change.

💬 DM or comment if your audience is ready for truth, not just trends.
Let’s talk culture that heals on and off the mic.

Mental health isn’t a poster in the breakroom.
It’s not a slide at the end of orientation.

It’s what happens when someone is struggling and your system says:
“You matter enough to take care of.”

So ask yourself:
Are your benefits accessible?
Are your people afraid to use them?
Do leaders know how to respond when someone is not okay?

Let’s build workplace cultures that make help real, not just theoretical.

📩 DM us for fall training availability.

Many policies says "support."
But your culture still says "survive it."

Let’s be honest:
If our team is afraid to rest, scared to speak up, or punished for boundaries…
Then it’s not support.
It’s a system built on silence.

Mental health isn’t a poster or a perks package.
It’s how people feel every single day in our space.

If benefits are gathering dust, people are gathering stress.
And silence? That’s your biggest liability.

If someone walked into your office with a broken arm, you'd send them home.
You’d ask for a doctor’s note. You’d adapt their workload. You’d care.
So why don’t we treat mental health the same way?

Depression, burnout, anxiety, these are injuries.
And yet we let people stay at work, suffer quietly, and power through pain.

Let this be your permission slip.
Mental health days are not extra. They’re necessary.

Let’s Talk: Inclusion Beyond the Buzzwords

If your workplace only mentions “inclusion” on holidays but avoids hard conversations in the breakroom, it’s not working.

🧠 At Relevant Connections, we help leadership teams understand that inclusion is not performative, it’s protective.

It’s not just about who’s invited to the table, it’s whether they’re heard without having to code-switch, overwork, or self-abandon to stay.

🎯 If you host a podcast or lead a team that’s tired of surface-level workplace wellness
