On this episode comedian, Big Daddy Tazz, will discuss how he uses humour to combat his challenges with mental illness.
Often described as one of the most talented comics in the business, the "Bi-Polar Buddha" Tazz uses creative ways to educate, inspire, and normalize the conversation of mental health. For example, Tazz explains that as men we are born with a magic wand between our legs. While this can make us feel powerful, it can also tell us we aren't allowed to have emotions because we need to be a "manly" man. Sadly, this belief prevents many from getting the help they need. Tazz shares powerful stories and strategies that break these unhealthy scripts.
So get ready to be inspired and have a few laughs along the way!
