tw: school shootings, trauma

Dr. Jessica Rabon drops in this week to chat about a difficult and important and unfortunately very timely topic: how to talk to kids about trauma in the wake of school shootings. Both Dr. J and Dr. Jessica are based in the U.S. and this particular topic hits close to home, especially since both of them are parents to young children. 


The first thing to tackle in this episode is the frustration and complete outrage that this continues to be a reality, followed by ‘what the hell are we even doing about it??’ The next thing to tackle is how we deal with the frustration, sadness, and collective grief of school shootings and how we can communicate that with our children. Tune in to the conversation to hear Dr. Jessica’s advice and learn the different ways to broach the conversation depending on your child’s own needs.

This mental health podcast starts like most superhero franchises: with an origin story. Justin shares what motivated him to become a psychologist, and how he had to be talked into trying TikTok… where he now has more than half-a-million followers. Jeez, hope he at least bought that friend dinner…

Because it’s a special episode, you get TWO origin stories for the price of one! Justin is joined by DiveThru founder Sophie Gray. Sophie shares how she struggled to cope with being bullied as a child, turning to self-harm and becoming a fitspo influencer. After a life-altering panic attack, Sophie turned to journaling to help her dive thru her feelings. Wait a sec, that’s the name of her company!

We’re so stoked to have you drop in (pun intended) on our first-ever episode!
