We sort of took a detour from our original plans for this episode, as Cathy found out that July is Minority Mental Health Month, and with so much going on in the current new climate, we wanted to be on the right side of things by offering to shed a little light on the struggles that minorities have to deal with when it comes to mental health, why it's WAY more difficult for minorities vs Caucasians, etc.
We also talk about the recent heat wave that hit the US, the challenges that came with making our National Ice Cream Day video (visit our Instagram or Facebook to see the video) and we take a moment to share a listener email.
This episode had a LOT of material that had to be cut, but that just means we'll have stuff for our Patrons! Sign up to support us on Patreon for bonus material! Link below...
