All right. Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Loveline. We got a great show plan for you, but we always do.

We're going to talk about some mental health myths. That's right. The wellness industry has exploded. Everyone's a life coach now and has something to say about mental health, which on one hand, I like that the dialogue is out there. We're normalizing, right? We talked

about all the celebrities that have come out talking about their mental health struggles

and issues, but we still want to be very thoughtful about where we're getting our information

from, right? Not every source is reliable. And a lot of things that we've been socialized to

It's as though they're the only people that existed or could get cast in a movie or in a commercial. And now we're seeing ads and models that are different, that are differently abled and disabled that are not cisgender, they're trans, that are black,

that are of color, that are larger body, that are gay. It's phenomenal. And because that's what

the world looks like, right? And everything should reflect back the reality of the world. And everyone

needs to learn how to have languaging and encounter all the diverse things

are in the world. That's actually how we do the powerful work of changing. We don't need to,
