Pardon My Mind with Rachel & Hiiro

**Formerly known as Getting Jewcy! Same co-hosts, same content, same approach. We're constantly getting to know our minds. And when we have guests, we get to know them behind their public image, so that you can get to know them beyond their Social Media presence. Mental health awareness and inclusivity across the human spectrum (especially with the LGBTQ+ community) is near and dear to us. We find the beauty in vulnerability. Please subscribe to our YouTube channel (@PardonMyMind) to continue supporting us, as these episodes can be WATCHED as well!
