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The Rebranding Mental Health Podcast explores what mental health could look like if we moved beyond the outdated disease model and embraced TOTAL health—brain, body, relationships, and purpose.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.

Feelings Are Signals, Not Verdicts: Why Everyone’s So Defensive (and What to Do About It)
We live in an era of emotional pop-ups: constant alerts, quick reactions, and inboxes full of unread feelings.
In this episode of Rebranding Mental Health, Iman and Kurt unpack why we take everything personally, how defensiveness hijacks empathy, and why emotional literacy is the health skill of the decade.
You’ll learn:
• Why the average emotion lasts 90 seconds (unless you hit “replay”).
• How to tell the difference between data and drama.
• What happens to your relationships when you stop treating feelings like verdicts.
Because your emotions aren’t trying to convict you, they’re trying to connect you.
