She doesn't just skim the surface; Hannah gets into the nitty-gritty, questioning where these attitudes come from and why they persist.

This episode isn't just about pointing out problems—it's about offering practical coping strategies and advocating for better treatment and understanding. If you're curious about why certain harmful attitudes exist and how we can all contribute to change, this episode is a must-listen.
