We Share How Merch And Publishing Fuel Mental Health Support For Millions | Episode 382

Big goals don’t start big—they start consistent. We’ve crossed hundreds of episodes and expanded to daily live streams because one simple truth keeps proving itself: when people feel seen, they keep going. Today we open the hood on how our community powers mental health support across platforms, how our publishing arm is growing, and why even a single beanie can carry a message of warmth and belonging.

We talk through four featured titles that meet listeners in different moments of life. The House of You: Workforce Preparation Tips for a Successful Career gives practical guidance for resumes, interviews, and career transitions, while The House of You: Prescription for Living traces Justin’s mental health journey with tools for coping, therapy, and resilience. We also introduce two stories from David Solomon: The Atalan comic book, a first for him with art by Cooper Saunders, and The Young Siren Born, a chapter book for readers eight and up that blends adventure and empathy. When purchased through our nonprofit channels, The House of You books ship signed and personalized, turning a helpful resource into a keepsake.

Transparency is central to how we work. Purchases through https://www.voicesforvoices.org/shop or our TikTok shop flow through our 501(c)(3), directly fueling programming, outreach, and support. Retail orders through Amazon.com, Walmart, Barnes & Noble, or IngramSpark run via The House of You, our for‑profit partner; same great content, different processing, clearly explained. And yes, the merch has a mission: our embroidered beanies come in multiple colors, built to last, and every order helps fund mental health initiatives. We’re adding a purple option soon to match our brand palette.

Community keeps the engine running. Follow us on TikTok, Instagram, X, Threads, Facebook, YouTube, and Rumble, and join the Mythical Creatures Around the World group on Facebook—led by David Solomon—for a creative space that inspires new stories and projects. Beyond the updates and links is a simple promise: therapy is strength, life is worth living, and you are not alone. If you’re ready to help us reach at least three billion people over time, here are easy first steps: subscribe, share with a friend, pick up a book, or grab a beanie.
