Let’s Talk About It: Recent Episodes

Ethan

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

-Margaret Mead

My name is Ethan and I've suffered from bipolar disorder, addiction, anger issues, body dysmorphia, and morbid obesity just for starters. Growing up I never felt comfortable asking for help or being vulnerable. My goal is to create a space where you can feel safe enough to be vulnerable and to shake the negative stigmas that are attached to mental health. Let's be vulnerable and give others strength to do the same!
