S3E1 - What's In A Name?

Welcome back for Season 3 of the Embrace Mental Health Podcast! We are ready for another season of great topics and deep discussions surrounding all things mental health. You'll hear the same familiar voices, but some different names for the those who the voices come from.In this episode, our cohost Wesley shares something deeply personal: he's changing his first name to Rowan. Join us as he explores the concepts of identity, authenticity, and how they tie into mental health. We talk about what names represent — how they shape our sense of self, belonging, and emotional well-being — and what it means to choose a name that truly reflects who we are. Rowan unpacks the fear, grief, and vulnerability that can come with change, as well as the self-compassion and resilience that make healing possible.Even if you’ve never thought about changing your name, you’ve probably faced moments when staying true to yourself felt uncomfortable or risky. This episode invites reflection on authenticity, resilience, and the courage it takes to live in alignment with your inner self — one intentional choice at a time.Connect with us!Website - www.embracementalhealthnsc.orgInstagram - @embrace.mental.healthFacebook - www.facebook.com/emh.nsc/Email - [email protected]
