It sounds like I've had 5 cups of coffee before I recorded this episode, but I think it's just from the energy we gave each other. Look forward to more cool events coming to you from this awesome collab!

In Episode 2 of the second Mental Health Monday edition, we discuss mental fitness and emotional intelligence. Heads up - the audio quality isn't as great as usual! We were dealing with a few technical difficulties, but I still wanted to get the content out to you all. Hope you can still enjoy it!

The new mental health series called Method to the Madness where we discuss issues that impact our mental health as they relate to our very unique and different backgrounds, perspectives, and ideologies. We hope to create a space where we can engage in critical dialogue, listen to, challenge, and learn from each other. We hope to model how different people can come together and find our comment interest. We might get a little mad at each other, but at the end of the day we are mad at how mental health is dealt with and talked about. Together, we will end the stigma!

I'm excited to bring you #STFS back again next Monday AND the new series M2M (Method to the Madness) - which honestly, 5 years ago...I would have never done.

In honor of Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month, she shares her story about cancer treatment and specifically how she used medical marijuana to help deal with the side effects of chemotherapy. She sheds some light on THC, breaks down some stigma, and encourages people to use their voice and vote in their local elections. Amanda recommends checking out the American Cancer Society, the Foundation for Women's Cancer, and encourages folks to learn more about Men's Ovarian Cancer.
