About this listen

 Causes That Matter is a space for honest, respectful, and impactful conversations about the social (in)justice issues shaping our communities today. From diversity and inclusion to equity and civic engagement, we go beyond the headlines to explore why these topics matter—and how they affect people in very real and personal ways. We believe in healthy dialogue, even when it's uncomfortable. That means bringing together a variety of voices and perspectives, because understanding grows when we listen as much as we speak. As one anonymous voice wisely said, "We all live in the United States of America, but we all experience living in the United States differently." This podcast is here to explore those differences, find common ground, and challenge ourselves to think deeper. If you're ready to move beyond slogans and soundbites to conversations that inspire change, this is the place for you.2025 Social Sciences

    Episode 4: Permission to Speak - The Strength for Men to Heal through Therapy

    Men are increasingly breaking through the stigma and recognizing that seeking mental health treatment is a sign of strength, not weakness. I'm joined by Dr. Juliana Deans, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), on my podcast "Causes That Matter," where we discuss the courage it takes for men to address their trauma and begin their healing journey through therapy. Dr. Deans focuses on giving men permission to speak about their experiences and how finding their voice can transform their path to healing.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
