Good evening, everybody. How are you all doing? Welcome to the show. Got a great show plan for you.

Kind of stoked to break down this article. A lot of the topics I bring you are things, of course,

that are in pop culture. Topics are often, you know, things that you all will put in the DMs that

you're curious about, want to hear more about, along with your questions. That's the DMs on the Loveland IG page. Always happy to hear from you. And the things that I see people

constantly stumbling over in my private practice. But I also will read articles in relationship to

things I'm writing or my own clinical experience or my own personal life. And some of them I'll be

like, that was really meaningful or that was a really cute way of

framing it.

So this one, I wanted to open by talking about this one.

This was a couple articles I'm kind of like smashing together.

But let me round it out before I get into it specifically.

So, you know, we live busy lives.

We talk about that all the time. And I've, you know, discussed on the show with everyone how everyone has different, everyone has a different amount of units of energy, right? And I've talked on the show extensively about how we're really trying to center mental health because everyone's like, hashtag mental health advocacy, hashtag mental health matters. But then they don't actually do anything meaningful

to really align with that or to support that. It's just verbiage, it's lip service. It's because

it's what we're supposed to do. And so my point being, it's a disability rights justice issue.

It's a mental health justice issue. And it's this idea that

everyone can't have the same expectations placed upon them. And I've said that in terms of

parents with a child, friends with, you know, another friend, a partner to their partner,

a boss to their employees, a teacher to their students.

Everyone is different needs based on their mental health and their physical health.

So we can't have universal rules.

We can't.
