In the premiere episode of ⁠foorum Nexus⁠: Core Conversations, we sit down with two remarkable guests—⁠Crystal Rodenbaugh⁠, a therapist and advocate for mental health, and ⁠Carlton Abner⁠, a former registered nurse and now Associate Provost for Campus Health and Wellness at ⁠Kansas City University.⁠

This episode explores an often-overlooked reality: therapists and healthcare professionals, just like the rest of us, need love, support, and care. Through a heartfelt and genuine discussion, Crystal and Carlton share their insights on empathy, the unique challenges faced by mental health professionals, and how we can all work together to create a more compassionate world.

Join us for a conversation that normalizes vulnerability and bridges the gap between those who provide care and those who receive it, reminding us that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and supported.

Welcome to the new era of advocacy and action!

We've rebranded from Freedom Project Podcast to foorum Nexus. In this video, our founder shares why we rebranded, what to expect, and the future for foorum Nexus.
