Three millennial gals normalize talking about grief. Having each experienced a big loss, we know life isn't always a tragic place with the sad movie music playing in the background. We can cry, but we can laugh too! Whether it's work, friendships, dating, or other everyday encounters, grief somehow finds a way to sneak in, but we hope this podcast lets you feel less alone and less uncertain speaking about it. So grab a cup of coffee (or a drink), go on a walk, throw it on in the car we think grief conversations can actually be that casual so let's talk about it and go through it all together.MORE Hosts Kelsey Rothhouse, Kathy Barillas, Mads Mcgill

'Unfiltered: Afghan, not Dewana,' is a podcast that focuses on raising mental health awareness in Afghan communities and societies.

My mission is twofold: breaking cultural barriers around mental health discussions, fostering better communication amongst Afghans, and amplifying Afghan voices worldwide...MORE Host Medina Michelle
