Rebranding Mental Health
The Rebranding Mental Health Podcast explores what mental health could look like if we moved beyond the outdated disease model and embraced TOTAL health—brain, body, relationships, and purpose. Through real talk, cultural critique, and forward-thinking ideas, we unpack the systems that shape our well-being and imagine bold new ways to heal, connect, and grow. It’s not about fixing what’s broken—it’s about building what we’ve been missing.

The Price of Survival: How the Cost of Living Is Rewriting Our Health
In this episode of Rebranding Mental Health, Iman and Kurt name a quiet emergency: the way rising costs, rent, groceries, insurance, debt, are taxing our nervous systems before we even start the day.
If your body has been bracing, neck tension, headaches, lack of focus...that’s not personal failure. That’s your biology responding to economics.
In this episode, we:
- Explore how scarcity rewires attention and decision-making and why your focus isn’t broken, it’s budgeted.
- Look at housing as health: eviction stress and rent burdens aren’t just economic, they’re biological.
- Trace the community shockwaves of displacement and disconnection and why belonging is infrastructure, not a luxury.
- Share innovative, actionable tools to stabilize body and budget.
This is not about blame. It’s about biology. And it’s about reclaiming dignity, community, and hope. Because you are not the balance of your bills. You are a nervous system built for connection. May you have what you need and people to help you keep it.
