What Helps You?🌻 — A Mental Health Podcast🎙️
What Helps You? is a mental health podcast about the beautiful, messy, and human ways we take care of ourselves.
I’m KäshavĂyah — and here, we talk about the little things that keep us standing when life gets hard.
Sometimes it’s me, sharing a thought that’s been living in my head — a reflection, a reminder, or a truth I’m still learning. Sometimes it’s a guest sharing their story. And once a month, we open a queer book and reflect on what it teaches us about being alive.
This isn’t therapy — it’s community, reflection, and a reminder that healing starts with small acts of care. Follow me on IG @shavie4ever21 🌻🫶🏾.

What Helps You?🌻 — A Mental Health Podcast🎙️
E6 | A Bad Bitch with Principles 🌻 (with Matt Gagnon)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of What Helps You?, I sit down with my personal trainer turned close friend, Matt Gagnon, for a conversation that’s equal parts chaotic, philosophical, and unexpectedly profound.
From wild Cinco de Mayo stories to reflections on resilience and losing the only dream you ever had, this episode moves seamlessly between laughter and life lessons.
Matt opens up about growing up as the minority in his school, losing his hockey career to injury, navigating reckless seasons of life, and the mindset shift that ultimately grounded him: appreciation. Together, we unpack what it means to make instantaneous versus situational choices, how character is built through discomfort, and why sometimes getting “punched in the face” is part of the shift that shapes us into who we’re meant to become.
Buckle Up & Welcome to the Fray!
