Wearing the clothing opens up those conversations, which has been wonderful. And again, people, when we're out for our walks or at the park with the kids or going for our runs wherever, people will comment on the shirt and they'll even say: oh, I love that, oh, but I'm a tea drinker. Again, it still allows you to to share as much or as little as you want, and we, I think. You know, you're owning your mental health and you're proud of that.
Ever thought a T-shirt could spark a conversation that changes lives? In this episode of 'Life Unscripted', host Janice Arnoldi sits down with Allison and Brian Gilbank, the dynamic duo behind Own Your Stigma. Their mission is simple yet profound: reduce the stigma around mental health, one piece of clothing at a time.
With slogans like 'You can talk to me about mental health and dogs' and 'Be kind to your mind', their apparel isn't just about fashion—it's about starting important conversations. A portion of their sales goes directly to mental health organizations and charities, making each purchase a step towards greater awareness and support. The Gilbanks share their personal battles with mental health, which inspired them to create this unique clothing line.
They discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified mental health issues and how their initiative aims to bring light during these challenging times. The episode also touches on the importance of exercise for mental well-being and how owning your mental health journey can be empowering. If you're curious about how something as simple as a T-shirt can make a difference, this episode is a must-listen.
