From the importance of your mental health to making sure to take a few minutes out of your day to clear out your cache and much, much more. We hope you guys like the episode. Make sure to follow Luis on Instagram @lovefearfoundation where you can find many resources to connect you to the help you might need.  Love & Fear Foundation is located in West Los Angeles and we serve the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities by providing them with information, education and access to mental health resources. They leverage a network of therapist, counseling centers and public resources to connect people with the help they need. They connect you with a resource that matches your needs. If you are an LGBTQIA+ person then they match you up with an LGBTQIA+ therapist or counseling center. If you are undocumented they match you with an undocumented or latinx resource. Luis started Love & Fear Foundation because he experienced firsthand that therapy is a privilege usually only afforded to those from higher social and economic status, but he also recognized that part of that privilege comes from them developing a cross generational awareness, or culture, around the subject of mental health.
