In this powerful episode of Mental Health News Radio, host Kristin Walker reconnects with José Rosario — founder of The Phoenix Empowered — for a deeply human conversation on healing, identity, and the evolving language of mental health. They unpack what it really means to be minoritized instead of marginalized, explore the trauma of criminalizing homelessness, and discuss how neurodivergence sharpens empathy and awareness in a world still learning to see clearly.
José opens up about his own lived experience as a queer, disabled person of color, and how it shapes his work creating inclusive spaces for authentic dialogue, joy, and liberation. Together, they reflect on burnout, the myth of “normal,” and the quiet revolution happening inside the mental health field — one grounded in rest, radical healing, and shared humanity.
