In this Episode of Rebranding Mental Health, Iman and Kurt hit record on this episode feeling worn down by the everything of life in America right now — rising prices, nonstop noise, political chaos, and the emotional fatigue that creeps in when the world just won’t slow down.

Instead of pretending we had it together, we leaned into the mess with a stack of homemade Mental Health Mad Libs — pulling prompts, reacting in real-time, and laughing our way into some surprisingly honest conversations.

No plan. No polish. Just two humans navigating the human experience, with humor, heart, and zero pressure to be “fine.”

If you're feeling tired, disconnected, or just need a break from the noise — this one’s for you.

"Rebranding Mental Health: A Movement, Not a Label."

Part of the Rebranding Mental Health: Happiness Series

Welcome back to Rebranding Mental Health! In this episode, Iman and Kurt continuing the series on happiness — this time exploring the idea that happiness isn’t about chasing the “right” job, relationship, or situation... it’s about recognizing and accessing the resources all around (and within) us.

We revisit our needs-based model of happiness and introduce a powerful truth:

• Needs are universal, but resources are abundant and diverse.

From air and art to relationships and routines, resources can come from multiple layers — individual, interpersonal, community, institutional, and even nature itself.
This episode invites you to challenge the idea that there’s only one way to fulfill a need and explore how shifting your perspective can transform disappointment into discovery.

We cover:

• The difference between needs and resources (and why that matters)
• Why fixating on one resource can block joy
• How loss and grief intersect with resourcefulness
• Five layers of support we often overlook
• Why leaning on others isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom

Plus: A reflection challenge to help you reconnect with what’s already available to you.

🎧 Listen now and reframe what it means to feel supported, whole, and fulfilled — even in the messiness of life.

"Rebranding Mental Health: A Movement, Not a Label."

We say we want to protect children — but what does that actually look like?

In this powerful episode, Iman and Kurt examine how our institutions often fail the very people they claim to protect. From school systems to family courts to healthcare, we ask hard questions about accountability, advocacy, and the hidden costs of silence.

Who steps in when the systems don’t work? Who protects children when the adults around them are distracted, overwhelmed, or complicit?

This conversation isn't about blame — it's about building better systems and showing up with clarity, courage, and care.
