EP 176: Stride w/ Pride in 2026

About this episode

The episode discusses mental health challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month and emphasizes the importance of support and self-acceptance.

Pride Month is a time to celebrate identity, community, and the progress that’s been made — but it can also be a time when important conversations about mental health come to the surface. For many in the LGBTQ+ community, navigating identity, acceptance, and external challenges can impact well-being in real and complex ways. In today’s episode, we’re continuing that conversation by exploring how young people build confidence, cope with challenges, and create supportive circles that uplift and empower. This is about embracing who you are, finding your voice, and knowing there’s a community that stands with you every step of the way.
