In Session with Nat & Ang
Welcome to In Session with Nat & Ang!
We’re Nat and Ang, and this podcast is a safe space where we talk about mental health, real life, and what it’s like being Arab American.
Each episode, we open up about the struggles, thoughts, and feelings that many of us keep inside. We talk about balancing both parts of who we are, learning how to cope, and finding tools and resources that actually help.
You’ll hear vulnerable moments, silly conversations, and unexpected stories as we figure things out together.
Join us In Session and walk with us on this journey—one honest conversation at a time.
