Co-hosts Tyler Townsend and Kelsi Wilmot of Beyond the Label pause their usual guest format to process the emotional toll of widespread flooding affecting all 19 counties, especially Kerr County, and to remind listeners that it’s okay not to be okay.
Tyler and Kelsi share lived experiences from last year’s floods and the recent July floods, including evacuations, work at reunification centers, deployments, volunteer coordination, and the lingering anxiety and “standby” stress that storms now trigger. They highlight community resilience, the importance of asking for help, and practical mental health resources, including 988, the crisis line (877-466-0660), free drop-in support at 819 Water Street, outreach teams, and therapist availability. They close by emphasizing hope, finding your “why,” avoiding isolation, and rebuilding together.
