<p><strong>Welcome back, WIFs.</strong></p><p>It’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and we’re talking about it in a way that actually feels… doable.</p><p>We’re joined by licensed therapist Ben Shabad—who, fun fact, won a Jeremy Allen White look-alike contest back in 2024 (we had questions).</p><p>From phone addiction and constant scrolling to boundaries, habits, and slowing down in a fast-paced city like Chicago—we also get into something equally important: how good conversation (and yes, pizza) might be one of the most underrated mental health tools we have.</p><p>Because mental health isn’t just about crisis—it’s about awareness.</p><p>Press play, get cozy, and come sit with us.</p><p>Resources: </p><p><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-cozy-night-for-readers-and-people-who-wish-they-read-more-tickets-1987707547783" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Get Your Tickets!</a></p><p><a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/cozyconversations" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Call Our House Phone!
