Dealing-480-480
Life isn’t easy, especially when your health is a struggle. Sometimes you’re just Dealing.

 

Hosts Mara De La Rosa and Nicholas Pilapil are exploring how people are dealing with mental and physical health issues. Together with their guests, they openly discuss personal experiences, ways to thrive, and help to breakdown the stigma of our illnesses. With their candor and wit, you’ll find yourself nodding in agreement and even laughing out loud.

 

We’re all dealing with something, and that’s okay.

Did You Know

Dealing joined Accidental Information after their initial first season. As they become part of the family, the show was souped-up with a clever new format and evolved direction. If you’ve been following the show since the beginning, you’ll hear a lot of the things you already love with even more meaningful conversations and fun. Season 2 started in April, 2020.

“Keeping the struggle real!

This podcast is funny? Who would’ve thought a show about mental health could be so hilarious. These 2 tackle real life issues with such honesty that it is relatable, consumable, and insightful. Thanx for showing up and letting them know some of us may be crazy but that crazy is also normal.
