Podcast
your mind matters

Welcome to Your Mind Matters!

Join our hosts Lana Boleyjack and Bassam Habib as they introduce NPL's first mental health awareness podcast!

Your Mind Matters launched in August 2023 with the intention of encouraging conversations about mental health in men of all experiences. This initiative has blossomed into a full-fledged podcast where candid conversations are held to shed light on how mental health is affected from many different angles and for all people.

Tune in every other Wednesday for new episodes with members of the Nashville community who are working to make good mental health feel more attainable for everyone. 

We hope you enjoy listening, and always remember, Your Mind Matters!

Cathy Strahan — Traveling Children's Librarian at NPL — shares her hopes for what the new position can bring to Nashville communities.

As a child, I categorized people by genres, eras, or media to remember them better. It helped me define how I felt about them and their impact on me. Without this, I would unfortunately forget them as soon as they were out of sight, and that still holds true today!
