Hear me out with Belinda

Ep15 Get_the!_Outside & Mental Health: Stop the Silence and Get Outside

Belinda Season 1 Episode 15

Welcome back to Hear Me Out With Belinda — where we learn to hear above the noise. In this episode, Belinda sits down with Melissa Swain, co-owner of GTFO (Get The F Outside), to talk about mental health, community, and why a bold message can open the door to honest conversations.
Melissa shares how GTFO started as an apparel idea, but quickly became something deeper — especially through COVID and watching someone close to them struggle with anxiety and depression. Together, Belinda and Melissa explore how getting outside (even in small ways) can reduce stress, boost mood, and help us feel less alone. They also talk about why it’s so hard to be vulnerable, how men often struggle quietly, and why support resources matter more than we think.
If you’ve ever felt “fine on paper” but empty inside — this one’s for you.
