Throwback Thursday: Summer Break! Eli Weinstein: Why It's Important to Normalize Emotions for ALL Genders

I had a plan when I started this conversation with my friend and colleague, Eli Weinstein. I figured we would begin with speaking about mental health awareness and segue into teens and anxiety, but all bets were off!

As a licensed therapist and the host of The Dude Therapist Podcast, Eli is a seasoned pro, so we chatted like old friends and touched on so many incredible (and necessary) topics.

Eli is one of those people; so passionate, engaging. I never really know where our conversation is going to go! I vibe off his energy- hang on to his every word, respect his opinions- excited to hear what "thought nugget" he will share next.

Y'all are lucky with this one, so incredibly lucky. We hit it all: from anxiety to gender stereotypes, the effect of social media on teenagers, to the stress of parenting.

Thank you, Eli Weinstein, for joining me, destigmatizing mental health issues, and debunking some of the myths and misconceptions surrounding mental health.
