Hey friends – welcome to Thoughtful Human, the podcast. We’ll be talking with individuals and experts about everything from cancer, addiction, grief, and mental health, to some highly stigmatized, often taboo subjects like herpes, domestic violence, suicide, and more.
If the mention of any of these subjects makes you feel a little uneasy, well, that's exactly the point. We’ll use this space to explore why these subjects are so hard to discuss, and how we can break down barriers to communication and get our loved ones the support they need. Each episode, we’ll leave you with tangible tips to help you move through your own roadblocks and approach these conversations in your relationships.
