This is a very different episode - it takes a deep dive into an often overlooked epidemic in society today—loneliness and mental health challenges exacerbated by the pandemic, that have not abated since then. Host Ravi Tangri sheds light on the growing issues of isolation, depression, and the stigma around seeking help, impacting countless lives, possibly including your own or someone you care about.
Ravi shares a personal story sparked by a simple message on a sweatshirt, "You Are Enough," which resonated powerfully with strangers. The discussion highlights alarming statistics on loneliness and mental health, urging listeners to break the habits formed during the pandemic and seek support from friends, professional help, or community resources.
The episode encourages intentional action and small steps towards rebuilding connections and finding sustainable mental well-being. If you find this message important, you're invited to share it, sparking a conversation that might just save a life.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
