The Honest Catch-Up is a recurring segment on the Zoey Black YouTube channel that focuses on mental health and wellbeing. They are raw honest conversations that speak to aspects of identity and health through a queer, trans lens.
Some topics include learning and understanding changes in your body from hormonal therapy, the mental and social difficulty that this presents, issues around anxiety, depression, dysphoria, stigma, discrimination, and learning how to look after yourself.
The winding down of the work year presents a particular type of stress for people as the try to wrap up their final projects and assignments, study for their exams, or just trying to hold it together until the December break.
