We have talked a lot on our show about mental health and our various struggles with ensuring we take care of our own. And in this, Mental Health Awareness Month, Richard talks to Steve about how his mental health has impacted his life and his career; and he gives advice on how friends and significant others can support those going through mental illnesses.

Remember that sound? "You've Got Mail." We recently landed on it while Hulu-browsing and reminisced about the joy we had living in New York City. Go down a quick trip down memory land with us.
It's been a bit of a challenging few weeks in our house, but with some good news to share, we wanted to dive into one of the key elements we dove into the last week: Comfort. And it's impact on our lives. Curious to your own thoughts ... hit us up on Instagram or Twitter!
We have made no secret of our personal challenges (adoption, death, stress) and this conversation is all about how we have handled these challenges and obstacles in our lives and how we support each other in our own journeys.
