    Life After 'School of Rock': Brian Falduto on Mental Health & Queer Empowerment

    From child star to life coach, Brian Falduto’s story is anything but ordinary. You probably remember him as “Fancy Pants” from School of Rock, but what you might not know is how that early spotlight shaped his identity, mental health, and path forward. Today, Brian is an artist, advocate, and coach helping queer people reclaim their power and live authentically. In this episode of Happy Healthy Homo, Brian opens up about growing up in the public eye, turning labels into liberation, and finding healing through music, coaching, and community. We dive into mental health in the LGBTQ+ space, the lessons he’s learned from his own journey, and the empowering work he’s doing now.

    Has Sex Positivity Gone Too Far? What Gay Men Need to Know About Trauma & Healing

    Going to therapy is a sign of strength, not weakness. Our paid partner BetterHelp makes therapy simple, with 10% off your first month to help you get started: https://betterhelp.com/happyhealthyhomo Find Michael Pezzullo on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelpezzullolmft What does it really mean to be “sex positive”? And has the movement actually gone too far? 🌈 This week on Happy Healthy Homo, we sit down with therapist Michael Pezzullo (He/Him), a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma, and chemsex. Together we dive into some of the toughest but most important conversations for gay men today: sexual trauma, the chemsex scene, ketamine-assisted therapy, and how we can reclaim masculinity in a healthy, authentic way. Michael also shares how trauma shows up uniquely in gay men’s lives, why so many avoid reaching out for help, and what real healing can look like. If you’ve ever wondered where sex positivity ends and self-destruction begins — or how we can build healthier relationships with sex, masculinity, and ourselves — this episode is for you.

    Why We’re All So Overwhelmed, Stress vs. Burnout & What Actually Helps

    Feeling overwhelmed? Us too. In this episode, Keegan & Joel break down the difference between stress, overwhelm, and burnout and why so many of us are stuck in the messy middle right now. From constant notifications to comparison culture, cost of living stress to queer emotional labour, it’s no wonder life feels like too much. We share our own stories of hitting breaking point, what actually helps us cope (and what definitely doesn’t), and why “just do yoga” isn’t the whole answer. Think practical tips, honest laughs, and a reminder that if you’re overwhelmed, you’re not broken—you’re just human. ✨ Highlights include: Stress vs. overwhelm vs. burnout (and how to spot the difference) Why modern life feels impossible sometimes Coping strategies that actually work (and the BS ones we’ve tried) The queer side of overwhelm—extra layers nobody talks about 🎧 Tune in for real talk, practical tools, and a little less FOMO.

    The Gay Body Image Crisis No One Talks About feat. Filmmaker Roger Ungers

    This week we’re joined by award-winning documentary filmmaker Roger Ungers, the creative force behind Shape — a bold, unflinching look at body image, masculinity, and identity in gay culture. We dive into the real conversations behind the glossy Instagram feeds: – Why so many gay men feel pressure to look a certain way – How racism, ageism, and toxic masculinity show up in queer spaces – What it’s like making indie queer films with limited support and big ambition – And why Roger believes representation has to get more honest Roger shares the behind-the-scenes process of making Shape, the personal stories that inspired it, and what he hopes it sparks in the queer community. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t "fit the mould," this one’s for you.
