    Sn 2 Ep 1 Dames and Mental Health

    The Dames are back for Season 2 with a very special episode. The Dames discuss women and mental health, the science behind the struggle and a wild discovery from 23 and Me. Bri and Laura share their own experiences with anxiety and depression and some ever-so-nerdy coping mechanisms. Take a listen and please reach out if you need support. Warning - this episode got pretty heavy. Please save this episode for a time when you are ready to explore mental health, but know that you are not alone and that we share some pretty helpful information when you are ready to hear it.
