"Mental Health Is Not a Trend — It’s Survival" The Secret Journal Entry that Saved a Life: a Mental Health Survival Guide
Off The Cuff Podcast with Joy & AB
In this raw and honest episode, Joy and AB unpack the truth behind a powerful statement: Mental health isn’t a trend — it’s survival.
From a mother discovering goodbye letters in her daughter’s journal to the dangers of "pop psychology" and quick-fix mental health advice online, this conversation dives deep into the realities our youth — and adults — are silently facing.
They talk about the fine line between normal emotional experiences and mental health crises, why emotional regulation starts before age seven, and how the culture of “numbing” our kids’ feelings may be doing more harm than good.
You’ll also hear practical solutions like the “mental health toolkit,” the “Hi-Low-Buffalo” check-in, and the importance of truly knowing the individual you’re trying to help , whether you’re a parent, teacher, coach, or mentor.
This one’s not fluff. It’s not trendy. It’s not curated.
It’s real. And it might just save a life.
