In this episode, I walk through how the description is structured and why I put crisis and support resources first, including national and veteran hotlines. Seeking help isn’t a weakness, and I want anyone who’s struggling to know that support is available and that reaching out matters.

I also talk about the rest of the description layout, including how to contact the podcast, share feedback, use timestamps, and access additional resources. I explain the purpose of the Patreon as a low-pressure storage and resource hub rather than a requirement, where I hope to eventually organize books, links, and helpful programs in one place. My goal with both podcasts is to create a supportive, honest space that prioritizes mental health, resources, and real human connection.
