Greetings, humans. Marvin the “Mental Health Warrior” Cat here. Feline. Fighter. Fluffy force of emotional reckoning.

And today, I’m here to interrupt your regularly scheduled doomscrolling to bring you something far more useful: the Friday Recap (Anti-Newsletter).

Now before you hiss at the word “newsletter” — relax. This isn’t one of those boring email chains filled with quotes from philosophers you never Googled and life advice written by someone who probably doesn’t even make their own bed.

This? This is different. Because this is Warrior-approved. Marvin-endorsed. And absolutely claw-free (unless you unsubscribe — kidding... mostly).

What Is the Mental Health Warrior Program?

Let me break it down — just in case you’ve been hiding under a metaphorical couch for the past decade.

The Mental Health Warrior Program is a bold, no-fluff self-help approach created by Bruce — yes, the two-legged warrior who spent 20 years battling Bipolar, Alcoholism, Anxiety Disorders and PTSD. It got so overwhelming, he tried to end his life. But in that darkest moment, he discovered something life-changing: Mental Health is the key to overcoming any challenge.

So he built a program — packed with books, tools, mindset rules, challenge coins, humor, and (ugh) workouts — that puts YOU in charge! It’s all designed to help you take control of your emotions, triumph over challenges and build the life you really want.

I joined up because… well, someone needed to keep the humans in line.(And let’s be honest, the coin makes an excellent paperweight.)

So What’s This “Friday Recap” Thing?

Let me purr it to you straight.

Each Friday, Bruce and I send out a quick, powerful Anti-Newsletter. Why "anti"? Because it doesn’t waste your time or your sanity. Here’s what’s inside:

💪 Warrior Poem: A focused, fearless call to action — helping you take one strong step forward every week.
⚔️ This Week’s Featured Blog Posts: Always hilarious. Always helpful. Always Warrior-worthy.
🔥 Warrior Tool of the Week: A new, real-life strategy to help you crush stress and feel more in control.
🧠 Marvin’s Thought of the Day: Bite-sized brilliance — no confusing jargon, just wisdom that sticks.

Marvin’s (Unfiltered) Opinion

Listen, I’ve read this Friday Recap (Anti-Newsletter). Every issue.

I don’t say this often about anything that doesn’t include tuna, naps, or destroying furniture, but… this thing is worth your eyeballs.

It’s the only “newsletter” I’ve ever read that makes me laugh and helps me manage my emotions (and trust me, I have plenty).

Plus, it shows up in your inbox like a tiny emotional support cat in email form. You’ll open it, read it in two minutes, and walk away feeling like you just got a hug from a badass.
