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.

Tired of toxic positivity and one-size-fits-all wellness advice?

In this refreshingly honest episode of Rebranding Mental Health, Iman and Kurt flip the script—focusing not on what’s wrong with the wellness industry, but what’s right.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by health influencers, underwhelmed by overpromises, or just unsure who to trust in the crowded space of mental and emotional wellness.

We’re calling out the green flags—the signs that a content creator, coach, or mental health guide is worth your time and attention.

💡 You’ll learn how to spot:

• Thoughtful, intention-driven creators who nerd out about their content
• Professionals who don’t pretend to have all the answers
• Creators who embrace nuance, transparency, and real-life complexity
• Voices that resonate with your values — not just your algorithm

And yes, we may lovingly roast a few red flags along the way 😉

This one’s for the discerning scroll—you deserve inspiration that uplifts, not manipulation that sells.

Tune in for perspective, reflection, and a healthier relationship with online wellness.

Most of us weren’t taught to listen to our nervous system — we were taught to silence it. In this gentle but eye-opening episode of Rebranding Mental Health, we explore how your body communicates distress and safety, and why ignoring those signals might be keeping you stuck.You’ll learn:

How your nervous system really works (green, yellow, red zones — no science degree needed)

• The everyday ways we override ourselves (scrolling, people-pleasing, powering through)
• Why your coping strategies made sense then — and what to do now.

You’ll also hear and walk away with a simple, daily practice to return to your body with care, using the breath.

This episode is for anyone who's been tired but kept pushing, anxious but kept smiling, or disconnected and wondering why.

Anchor phrase: “I don’t need to be calm to be present. I need to be present to feel safe.”

You don’t have to fix everything. You just get to pay attention.

In this Episode of Rebranding Mental Health, Iman and Kurt hit record on this episode feeling worn down by the everything of life in America right now — rising prices, nonstop noise, political chaos, and the emotional fatigue that creeps in when the world just won’t slow down.

Instead of pretending we had it together, we leaned into the mess with a stack of homemade Mental Health Mad Libs — pulling prompts, reacting in real-time, and laughing our way into some surprisingly honest conversations.

No plan. No polish. Just two humans navigating the human experience, with humor, heart, and zero pressure to be “fine.”

If you're feeling tired, disconnected, or just need a break from the noise — this one’s for you.

Part of the Rebranding Mental Health: Happiness Series

Welcome back to Rebranding Mental Health! In this episode, Iman and Kurt continuing the series on happiness — this time exploring the idea that happiness isn’t about chasing the “right” job, relationship, or situation... it’s about recognizing and accessing the resources all around (and within) us.

We revisit our needs-based model of happiness and introduce a powerful truth:

• Needs are universal, but resources are abundant and diverse.

From air and art to relationships and routines, resources can come from multiple layers — individual, interpersonal, community, institutional, and even nature itself.
This episode invites you to challenge the idea that there’s only one way to fulfill a need and explore how shifting your perspective can transform disappointment into discovery.

We cover:

• The difference between needs and resources (and why that matters)
• Why fixating on one resource can block joy
• How loss and grief intersect with resourcefulness
• Five layers of support we often overlook
• Why leaning on others isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom

Plus: A reflection challenge to help you reconnect with what’s already available to you.

🎧 Listen now and reframe what it means to feel supported, whole, and fulfilled — even in the messiness of life.

We say we want to protect children — but what does that actually look like?

In this powerful episode, Iman and Kurt examine how our institutions often fail the very people they claim to protect. From school systems to family courts to healthcare, we ask hard questions about accountability, advocacy, and the hidden costs of silence.

Who steps in when the systems don’t work? Who protects children when the adults around them are distracted, overwhelmed, or complicit?

This conversation isn't about blame — it's about building better systems and showing up with clarity, courage, and care.
