November is Men's Health Month! After a few life updates, Belle brings on her friend, Matthew Skros, as our first male guest, talking about his experience with mental health. They discuss everything from college counseling, group therapy, and full-circle moments. We hope you enjoy this episode!

Ruby Aparicio-Pagán is a Licensed Social Worker who has worked with students in Cumberland County for many years. She is a proud Mexican-American woman, a first generation student and most lovingly, a wife and mother. Ruby and I discuss social work, barriers to care, being a first generation student and American, and the transition to being a mother. It all boils down to this: our identities shape our experience of the world. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed having Ruby on!

My best friend and teen in the Miss America Organization, Brooke Meisenhelter, joins me in this episode. We discuss unrealistic beauty standards, Tik Tok Trends, bullying, ending toxic friendships and her Emotional Support Animal, Sage! 
I so appreciate Brooke's vulnerability. It can be really hard to open up when you're a teenager, and she is such an amazing role model for her peers. I learn so much from her every day. I am so proud of you, Brooke!
