Mental Health RewrittenSuicide: Rewriting the Conversation Around SuicideIn this episode of Mental Health Rewritten, we tackle the subject of suicidal ideation with care, nuance, and urgency. Through a combination of real survivor stories, fictionalized scenes, clinical insight, and historical framing, host Dominic Lawson guides listeners through what it means to live on the edge of despair — and what it takes to survive it. We hear the stories of: Nia, a high-functioning professional whose emotional unraveling is invisible until it’s too late. Ashley-Lauren, a survivor navigating abuse, chronic illness, and a suicide attempt that ultimately catalyzed her healing. Sean...2025-07-231h 09Mental Health RewrittenSex: Starting the Conversation Around Sexual AnorexiaKyle sits awake at 2 AM, the glow of his laptop revealing a single word in the search bar: “avoidance.” He scrolls past harsh phrases like fear of intimacy and sexual withdrawal that feel like accusations. Then one term stops him—“sexual anorexia.” For the first time, he wonders: What if I’m not broken, but scared? And what if scared has a name? This episode of Mental Health Rewritten explores the little-discussed realm of sexual anorexia, a term for fear-driven intimacy avoidance often rooted in trauma. Though not officially listed in the DSM-5, sexual anorexia is a profoundly rea...2025-07-0252 minMental Health RewrittenSex: Rewriting the Conversation Around Sexual AssaultIn this powerful and necessary episode of Mental Health Rewritten, we open with a deceptively simple question: “Is this sexual assault?” From that moment forward, we begin a journey that challenges long-held beliefs about consent, trauma, and silence, especially when the abuse doesn’t look the way we expect it to. At the heart of this episode is Maria, a fictional composite of real stories. We explore the types of harm that don’t come through force, but through the absence of consent, emotional pressure, or the quiet rewriting of boundaries inside long-term relationships. But Maria’s...2025-06-171h 12Mental Health RewrittenSex: Rewriting the Conversation Around Pornography**POST CREDIT CONTENT ALERT** Welcome to Episode 2 of Mental Health Rewritten — “Pornography: Rewiring Reality” In this powerful follow-up to our season premiere, we confront one of the most polarizing issues in modern mental health: pornography. Through the dual narratives of Gio and Maddie, we navigate secrecy, shame, and compulsion — we dive into the psychological impact of porn consumption on young minds, relationships, and emotional development. We illustrate how digital intimacy can morph into emotional avoidance. Featuring reflections inspired by Susan Sontag’s The Pornographic Imagination, data trends around economic stress and porn usage...2025-05-301h 17Mental Health RewrittenSex: Rewriting the Conversation Around Sex AddictionWelcome to Episode 1 of Mental Health Rewritten! In our season-opening episode, we confront one of the most misunderstood and stigmatized topics in mental health: sex addiction. Through the story of Daniel — a man whose professional success masks a deep internal struggle — we explore how compulsive sexual behavior impacts relationships, careers, and personal identity. Along the way, we challenge misconceptions about sex addiction, examine its clinical roots, and highlight the hidden pain it causes across gender lines and around the world.

I’ve been receiving inquiries about what an EPK (electronic press kit) is and what needs to be in them. I’ve also been in various conversations where some artists missed opportunities due to not having certain tools to present to media, DJs, event promoters, and even to their fans. One would say that its tragic to not have an EPK, but for me, I give grace…to an extent. To an extent = Google, networking, asking an OG or someone that has done this over and over is always a reliable resource. Plus, Krate Digga might not go so...2024-03-0700 min
