A silly podcast about women and their silly brains. Respectfully dedicating ‘that time of the month’ to men (for once). *Consider this a broad Trigger Warning* *Each week our thotful hosts Carley Eiden and Samara Suomi talk ‘mental illness shop’ with women (identifying and otherwise) of all backgrounds. Once a month we open the space for men’s mental health talk in our justifiably titled ‘That time of the Month’ segment.  Negative Thots intent as a podcast is to encourage people to open up about their day-to-day life living with mental illness.  With that openness comes a likelihood of somewhat difficult-to-digest discussions. Our goal is to create a safer, lighter, and sillier space to have conversations we don't normally have with our peers.  With the topic in general comes heavy material. There will be deep discussions, jokes, stories, and theories that may be a little ~triggering~ to others. Some topics of discussion can be hard to hear, but we believe it's important to listen to the messages each guest brings with them. Listen with an open mind and heart as we explore the range of thots inside us all. (**use this warning for vanessa’s/all future episodes)
