This week the boys chat with Emi Nietfeld, a writer, speaker, and advocate for young people. Emi's journey through foster care and homelessness inspired her to write a memoir, "Acceptance," which delves into the true meanings of resilience, ambition, and success. Emi explores her backstory with mental health challenges and her turbulent childhood. She also discusses why she concealed her illness on her college applications and our culture's obsession with resilience narratives. Emi has a unique perspective on the damaging belief that mental illness relates to moral "badness" and will share her experiences overcoming these challenges. Get ready to be inspired as Emi shares her story of perseverance and determination. Join the post-episode conversation over on Discord! https://discord.gg/expeUDN
