    S1.5 E2: Asian Men's Mental Health - Leo Returns

    Since Leo's episode was the most referred-to episode with Grace's clients, Grace has invited Leo back into the studio for Leo a solo conversation. Together, they cover topics close to their hearts: connection and emotional vulnerability, gendered experiences and expectations, and what it means to be a man that's in the process of healing. Leo Xia, aka Lowhi, is a Los Angeles-based men’s mental health facilitator who facilitates weekly men's support groups through Proud Asian Men and Asian Mental Health Project. Leo created these spaces to combat the global male loneliness epidemic and to support men in creating the life that they dream of through emotional intelligence and communication.
