This week, we're spotlighting mental health in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month. Tune in to today's #MondayMotivation as Matt discusses his own diagnosis, and how to be kind to yourself even when a new diagnosis feels scary and hard.

This week Matt reminds us how amazing we are.

Matt breaks down the major differences between unschooling and a traditional classroom setting.

Matt talks about how to deal with being stared at. 

This Monday, Matt helps us celebrate Masturbation Month! (To say anything else would betray the beauty of this video.)
