Podcast Description
Welcome to Thrive Together, a space dedicated to sharing the stories of everyday people who have faced the realities of mental illness. Our mission is to amplify voices that often go unheard, offering a platform for those underrepresented in mainstream media, along with allies who support the cause. Each episode delves into personal struggles, explores the intersection of culture and mental health, and works to break down the stigma surrounding mental health treatment and education. Join us as we foster understanding, empathy, and a greater awareness of mental health in our communities.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast focuses on themes surrounding mental health, cultural intersections, and personal resilience, with episodes covering topics like body dysmorphia, the experience of navigating the adult industry, and the impact of cultural expectations on mental health journeys.

Welcome to So I Was Told, the anti-podcast podcast where culture meets candor. Join us as we dive into social politics, mental health, and the messy realities of deconstructing harmful social constructs. From lighthearted banter to tackling the heavy stuff, we keep it real, raw, and refreshingly unfiltered.
Expect a bit of chaos, the occasional NSFW topic, and some colorful language along the way. Whether we’re dissecting societal norms or just calling out the nonsense, this is your space for honest conversations and unapologetic truths.
Tune in, get uncomfortable, and maybe learn a thing or two! You might even laugh along the way.
This wasn’t supposed to go here, but it did.
What starts as a continuation of our Smash Bros conversation turns into something bigger: what actually makes a movie hit, why original films feel rare now, and how we’ve drifted away from the experience of watching something together.
We talk about the kind of characters that don’t belong in Smash, the line between fun crossovers and complete nonsense, and how quickly things fall apart when IP becomes more important than intention. But somewhere along the way, the conversation shifts into AI, Hollywood’s obsession with familiarity, and into the question no one seems to be asking:
Do we even remember what movies are supposed to feel like?
This episode is less of a Part 2 and more of a pivot. A realization. A reminder that when you strip away the spectacle, what people actually crave isn’t bigger franchises or smarter tech, it’s something human. Something shared. Something you can’t replicate alone on your couch.
