Why We Need Hope (and 12 Hugs a Day) — Brandon & Gabe Howard

In this powerful episode of Snackable Mental Health, Brandon sits down with Gabe Howard — award-winning writer, speaker, and mental health & suicide-prevention advocate.

Together, they dive into the real stuff most people are afraid to talk about:
• living with bipolar disorder
• the impact of misdiagnosis
• navigating medications
• why everyone needs something to look forward to
• how hope actually rebuilds a life
• and yes… why science says we need 12 hugs a day

This is an honest, human conversation about hardships, hope, connection, and the small things that keep us going.
If you’ve ever felt alone in your mental health journey — this one’s for you.
