The Stick Lounge Podcast x Positive Awakenings — Episode 1

This week, Joe sits down with Dekel, the founder of Positive Awakenings, for a powerful and eye‑opening conversation about mental health, healing, and what it really means to ask for help. Together, they unpack one of the biggest questions people struggle with: When is therapy the right choice? 

From breaking the stigma around seeking support to challenging the generational beliefs that keep so many people silent, Joe and Dekel dive deep into why therapy is still misunderstood — and why that needs to change. They explore how different cultures view mental health, the barriers people face when trying to get help, and why having someone to talk to is more important today than ever. 

This episode marks the launch of The Positive Awakening Series, a monthly collaboration between The Stick Lounge Podcast and Dekel. Each installment will shine a light on mental wellness, personal growth, and the conversations that too often go unheard. 

A thoughtful, honest, and much‑needed discussion — and just the beginning of a series built to help people feel seen, supported, and understood.
