| 0:00.0 | Hi, friends, and welcome to another episode of your Bish Therapist podcast, a real-life therapist |
| 0:04.9 | term pop culture aficionado serving clinical interpretations and hot takes on all things pop culture. |
| 0:10.6 | And today is going to be another solo episode. |
| 0:14.0 | Normally, the end of the month is for Eminem hour with Mandy and I. |
| 0:19.7 | And for those of you who maybe follow her on social media or |
| 0:23.1 | listen to her podcast may know, her dad needed some very complex heart surgery. And he had that a |
| 0:29.3 | couple of days ago. And so I'm happy to report that number one, he is doing well. Mandy is doing well. |
| 0:35.8 | The family is doing well. And I am constantly checking in like a psycho. But, you know, Mandy and her father are wonderful people. They deserve all the love and support in the world. And I'm really grateful that they were able to get to a place that could really help them. Number two, I, you know, am happy to do a solo episode |
| 0:56.3 | because when my girl doesn't have the bandwidth to do it, you know, life is more important. |
| 1:01.0 | Those things are more important. So when will we do our next M&M hour? I don't know. But we're |

| 1:26.2 | talk a little bit about that. And I also am |
| 1:29.2 | going to share a little bit about I've been struggling in a depressive episode over the last few weeks. |
| 1:35.1 | So I gained some insight into that. And I want to give us all a little bit of a pep talk because I |
| 1:41.1 | think anyone who has empathy right now in this world is suffering. |
| 1:46.5 | We are struggling. The world is on fire. That's what it feels like anyway. The most important |
| 1:51.9 | thing is that mental health does not exist in a vacuum. And the one thing that I think it's lost |
| 1:57.9 | in the sauce is that when people are struggling with mental health or drug and |
| 2:01.9 | alcohol issues and the world is on fire, that contributes to people's struggles. Mental health is health. |
| 2:09.5 | Yet it's not focused on. It's not talked about. There's still so much stigma. And so, you know, |
