Let’s Talk Mental Health

Real Conversations the System Doesn’t Have

Mental health isn’t always inspirational.


Healing isn’t always pretty.


And some conversations are too uncomfortable for most people to have out loud.

Hosted by Army veteran, writer, recovery advocate, and former addiction counselor Jamie Hairston, Let’s Talk Mental Health explores the realities behind trauma, addiction, burnout, emotional abuse, recovery, toxic relationships, nervous system overwhelm, and the mental health systems people often feel failed by.

This isn’t surface-level positivity or recycled self-help advice. These are honest conversations about survival, healing, emotional exhaustion, human behavior, and what it actually takes to rebuild yourself after life falls apart.

Through raw solo episodes, expert interviews, and real-world discussions, this podcast bridges lived experience with psychological insight — helping listeners feel seen, understood, and less alone in the things most people hide.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, misunderstood, stuck in survival mode, or like nobody talks about the hard parts of healing… this podcast is for you.

New episodes weekly.
