Genius Brain Listeners, this podcast is brought to you by Better Help.

The days are getting shorter, and for a lot of us, that can feel a little heavier. This time of year is actually perfect to reach out to someone you haven't talked to in a while. Maybe it's grabbing lunch with an old friend or checking in on a family member. You've been meeting to text. Every time I do it, I end up thinking, man, why didn't I do this sooner? Therapy can feel the same way. hard to start but but worth it. BetterHelp makes that first step easier with licensed therapists and smart matching that actually works. This month,

don't wait to reach out whether you're checking in on a friend or reaching out to a therapist

yourself. BetterHelp makes it easier to take that first step. Our listeners get 10% off their first
