CITY MINDS NEED HEALING | S2 E7 K.A.S.T with Tommy (Tommy Talks Therapy) Urban Therapy Unfiltered

CITY MINDS NEED HEALING | S2 E7 K.A.S.T with Tommy (Tommy Talks Therapy) | Urban Therapy Unfiltered In this episode of K.A.S.T, we sit down with Tommy, the voice behind Tommy Talks Therapy, for a real conversation about mental health in the environments that shape us. Because in the city, pressure is constant, survival becomes normal, and for many, therapy still feels out of reach. We explore what it means to grow up and live in fast-paced, high-stress environments where vulnerability isn’t always welcomed, and how that impacts the way people process trauma, express emotion, and seek help. This conversation challenges the idea that “getting on with it” is strength, and looks at what real healing actually requires when life doesn’t slow down. Tommy shares his perspective on breaking stigma, making therapy more accessible, and why culturally aware conversations around mental health are more important now than ever. • Mental health in urban environments • Why many people still avoid therapy • Survival mode vs true healing • Breaking stigma in communities • The importance of culturally relevant therapy • Creating safe spaces for honest conversation This episode is about understanding the mind behind the environment, and why healing is no longer optional. If this resonates with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. 🎧 Honest conversations.

In this episode of K.A.S.T we sit down with Levi, known to many from Who Dares Wins, but behind the resilience and strength is a story shaped by loss, struggle, and ultimately purpose.

The years that followed were filled with twists and turns, alcohol, drugs, and battles with his own mental health, including suicide attempts. This conversation explores what happens when pain goes unspoken for too long, and how the darkest chapters of life can either break you or rebuild you. Today, Levi has turned that pain into purpose.  As the founder of a charity foundation, "Joshua Levi Foundation" he is dedicated to helping others who are facing the same battles he once fought.
