We teach reading. We teach math. We even teach driver’s ed.
But when it comes to communication—arguably one of the most essential life skills—we leave people to figure it out through trial, error, and emotional bruises.

In this episode of Rebranding Mental Health, Iman and Kurt explore how our society’s lack of formal communication education fuels conflict, burnout, disconnection, and underdeveloped leadership. This is definitely a hot topic for Iman!

You’ll learn:

• How gender, family systems, and media shape our early communication styles
• Why communication is a health behavior, not just a “soft skill”
• What a real curriculum would look like—from emotional regulation to repair after rupture

We share real-life examples, actionable takeaways, and a powerful call to shift communication from an afterthought to a foundational skill in school, work, and life.

🧠 “Imagine building IKEA furniture with no instructions—that’s how most people communicate.”

Let’s stop tossing people into the deep end of relationships without teaching them how to float. Communication isn’t optional. It’s survival.
