Show notes

Too often, we attribute mental health challenges solely to personal trauma or chemical imbalances—but what about the oppressive systems within the society we live? And how do we keep our mental health in check while fighting against these systems? Today Shahem Mclaurin addresses these complex questions, and shares his inspiring journey from growing up in Baltimore to finding his true calling as a social worker and therapist. Then he gives us some hot takes on narcissism, social media addiction, and eating disorders.
