Community Routes
This is a podcast filled with therapists, psychologists, authors, and regular people where we talk about mental and emotional health. We take complex topics and break them down, often over snacks and coffee. Our goal is to provide free, digestible mental health discussions to help build a more healthy, supportive community. Join Samuel, Sarah, and Julie every other week on Tuesdays (or whenever you feel like listening)! Our segments: “Off the Beaten Path” is a special episode that features interviews with the community. ”Unpack That” involves discussing books and concepts about mental health. ”Trail Mix” takes a variety of concepts that are asked to the cohosts and discussed as a group. ”Deep Breath” is a shorter, brief mental message for the week.

Hey neighbors! Samuel here. My voice is shot, but I'm glad I get a chance to send you this message anyway. "The crew is back in-person!" We finally met in JHR Headquarters: Worthington, Ohio. You can feel the energy in the room. I am so excited for y'all to hear our newest episode. We talk about the buzzword "Codependency" and what it means to have an unhealthy, boundariless relationship. We also dive into healthy relationship practices and what healthy boundaries look like. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do!

I hope you enjoy this week!

This week we continue our talks with activists Shynesha and Andie. We dive deeper into the goals of the protestors and also start a discussion on a healthy future. We tackle some pretty deep topics, so buckle up!
Thank you to Shynesha and Andie for being on the show!
P.S. The audio quality is a little off because of Zoom. I have figured out a solution, so it won't be a problem after this series of Off the Beaten Path. Enjoy!

Hey everyone! I wanted you to listen to Kristen's episode so you would be prepared for this week's discussion, which will release within the hour. Both episodes are great listens and packed with information about neurodivergent peoples. Enjoy!
