An urgent and provocative message urging parents and adults alike to put your phones down and connect.  Our children are facing a rapidly changing landscape, shifting from play-based to phone-based childhoods that influence how they perceive and interact with the world.

Devi welcomes back clinical psychologist and Conscious Parenting Movement Founder Dr. Shefali to discuss how conscious parenting has grown since her 2010 book The Conscious Parent and why she wrote two new books, Raising Conscious Daughters and Raising Conscious Sons (releasing September 15).

Dr. Shefali warns us that cheap, superficial “knowledge,” instant gratification, and reduced boredom undermine focus, creativity, grit, and resilience, contributing to anxiety, depression, self-harm, loneliness, and suicidality. She is empowering parents to act fast, break away from the algorithm, and put your phones down because this technological world is not designed for healthy childhoods.

Devi welcomes multimedia storyteller and Studio Symoné founder Darian Symoné Harvin to discuss how her beauty reporting connects to identity, culture, and human-centered storytelling. Darian shares her path from newsroom work and burnout to creating more nuanced beauty journalism that values specificity, empathy, and strong personal standards while avoiding “gotcha” media and telling people what to think. Darian reflects on reconnecting with God, becoming flexible with self-care, and the importance of reducing fixation on celebrity.

Devi welcomes back Dr. Rheeda Walker, a clinical psychologist and professor focused on Black mental health, to discuss shifts in mental-health awareness since the pandemic and the need for credible, culturally informed care amid misinformation and a shortage of providers. Walker explains how avoidance and media narratives shape fears about mental illness, why training and credentials matter, and introduces “psychological fortitude” as the ability to stay grounded despite life stressors, using a simple 0–10 self-rating to assess needs and choose effective responses over knee-jerk coping. They also discuss Walker’s book No Racial Elephants in the Therapy Room, describing how therapists’ discomfort with race can harm clients and why clinicians must address “elephants” directly. Her “soul work” is to pause, breathe, and rate your psychological fortitude when frustrated. What is your capacity to be able to stay grounded and to take care of the things that I am able to do?"

In this special Q&A episode, Devi responds to deeply personal questions from the Deeply Well community about relationships, intuition, and knowing when it may be time to let go.

From navigating friendships you've outgrown to finding clarity when a marriage no longer feels aligned, Devi explores reciprocity, emotional maturity, trusting what your body is telling you, and releasing the pressure to stay simply because nothing appears "wrong" from the outside. Through reflections from her own life, she offers an honest reminder that relationships should leave room for us to feel nourished, inspired, supported, and fully ourselves.

Sometimes the work isn't figuring out how to hold on; it's trusting yourself enough to recognize when it's time to move forward.

WeezyWTF (co-host of Decisions, Decisions, founder of WTF Media, producer, bestselling author of No Holes Barred, and creator of the NYC fitness studio TrapHaus) joins us to discuss what it really means to grow beyond the version of yourself the internet thinks it knows.

Weezy is unapologetically and unconventionally herself, and that's exactly why we love her. In this episode, she speaks candidly about love, marriage, and why, ultimately, "love is not enough" to sustain any relationship. Devi and Weezy also dive into entrepreneurship, obsession, and how the things she genuinely enjoys, even the taboo ones, become the roadmap for her success.

Today, Devi is reminding you that “life is hard,” and if you’re living with chronic pain, autoimmune issues, or ADHD, it takes patience, self-advocacy, and finding what actually supports you day to day. 
During Devi’s visit to the Sha Wellness Clinic in Cancun, an intentional reset for her personal health, modern medicine + holistic care, VO2 max testing, ICARUS, osteopathy, scans, acupuncture, and biofeedback, she realized she's been in fight-or-flight for five months despite all the wonderful moments that also occurred during this period.

The question that has been circling and the idea of being seen has been at the forefront. What does it really mean to be “seen,” and why chasing it can give away your power? “No one is ever going to fully see you… But do you see you?” and we land on this truth: “It’s on God’s time. You still got to do it… even if no one notices.” 

It is important to know that who you are must exist beyond the share button of exposure. Because the more time you spend seeing yourself, the more deliberate and conscious you can become towards your direct healing needs.

You are not alone in your creativity, whether it is music, filmmaking, or another expression. The ability to create offers many opportunities to heal, connect and transform everyone it encounters.

Devi sits with Grammy-winning producer Dahi who shares how his upcoming project, Black Boy Alternative, came from long seasons of self-reflection, false starts, and finally a “let God in the room” jam session approach that unlocked the story he actually wanted to tell. He explains why music can be his church, what it means to be a “Black Boy” outside the box, and offers simple yet extremely important soul work: “pray…give thanks…ask for guidance” so the weight isn’t all on you.

The summer is already almost over, and Devi shares what this fast-moving, “grief and joy happening all at once” summer is teaching her, especially how to stay present when everything feels like it’s shifting. Although there may also be a lot of positive personal shifts, it is our practice that keeps us rooted in our authentic power.

This episode feels like a real permission slip to stop chasing the version of success that looks good and start listening to what’s actually true inside of you. Dr. Julius Thomas shares how becoming the highest-paid tight end in the NFL didn’t bring peace: “the year of my life that I made the most money was also the year that I was suffering the most”, and how that forced him to face how “cold” and emotionally disconnected he’d become. You’ll hear what it really takes to pivot without turning it into a “brand update”. 

Soul Work: Write down the gift “no one else can see,” then choose bravery and show it.

This is a real insight into a longtime friendship between Devi and Nina Parker; they talk candidly about what it looks like to choose yourself when your life looks “successful” on the outside while hiding underlying turmoil internally. Nina shares how therapy helped her stop curating relationships and finally prioritize peace, starting with the simple question, “Do I wanna go? Do I like these people?” Simple questions that are somehow avoided during the decision process. She opens up about surviving an abusive relationship, how grief and public pressure can make you perform instead of dedicating real time towards healing, and why self-awareness only matters when your choices change.
