the illest couple
Sean & Cathy a.k.a. "the illest couple" are working to end mental health stigma one super awkward conversation at a time. We believe it is crucial to communicate openly about our own mental health struggles so that we can better navigate the waters of life, and... well... marriage... but we also believe in jokes about butts (because butts are funny.)
