The restaurant industry itself is a toxic one for women. You're selling yourself because there are so many different power dynamics at play and you don't even think about it on the customer side when you're at a restaurant.
Have you ever wondered about the unseen battles people face in their daily lives? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Road to Recovery', Yonah Budd dives into the hidden struggles within the restaurant industry and the prison system. Yonah chats with Sofia Vavaroutsos, a journalist and producer, who shares her eye-opening experiences with sexualization in the restaurant world. Her story sheds light on the toxic power dynamics that many endure behind the scenes.
The conversation then shifts to Edward Hertrich, author of 'Wasted Time', who discusses the tragic suicide of an inmate in St. John's, Newfoundland. Edward highlights the urgent need for better mental health resources in prisons, emphasizing that these institutions often overlook the mental well-being of their inmates. Yonah also brings in insights from Naomi Sayer, an indigenous lawyer, and Leah Denbok from Humanizing the Homeless.
They explore a court case involving strippers' challenges during Ontario's COVID-19 measures and the stigmas surrounding homelessness. These discussions underscore the broader societal issues exacerbated by the pandemic. But that's not all. Yonah touches on the dynamics of job interviews, particularly flight risk, and stresses the importance of listening in toxic work environments. Throughout the episode, he emphasizes community and socialization as key components of mental health.
Whether you're interested in the intricacies of addiction recovery, mental health advocacy, or simply want to understand more about these pressing issues, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and heartfelt stories. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between addiction, mental health, and societal pressures.
