"Why Don’t We Talk About This?" centers around the themes and experiences that people talk about in pockets or completely avoid. Things that may be controversial or uncomfortable but benefit our mental health and wellness to get off our chest. Themes that help us break the stigma, silence shame, and grow community. I speak with folks whose learned experiences and professions give way to a diverse knowledge of topics that we just aren't talking about...but should be! If you have a topic or want to collaborate, send a message so we can explore ways to connect.
