Join us on this week’s Black Doctors Talk Podcast which features our guest, Dr. Charli Brown. Dr. Brown is a professor and transformative transpersonal trainer and consultant focusing on the well-being of the whole person. She specializes in integrating psycho-socio-emotional tools into the everyday and teaching others how to utilize these for their highest impact. Dr. Brown’s extensive background in (w)holistic understanding and women's ways of knowing, helps her connect deeply to her clients through many learning languages and modalities.

During the podcast, Dr. Brown discusses how her work does not focus simply on one aspect of an individual’s life that causes stress or uncomfortability, but the totality of experiences that have led them to their current state. Transpersonal means connecting mind, body, spirit, and environment. While traditional psychology focuses on the head, transpersonal psychology addresses how experiences manifest in life. This whole-person focus addresses the root instead of the symptoms. Through coaching, workshops, training, and consulting, Dr. Brown teaches simple, every-day tools that can be used at any moment to propel someone in a new direction, to get you unstuck, and to dissolve the blocks. These tools are feminine ways of knowing.

Dr. Brown completed her undergraduate degree at Howard University (BBA). Sher received M.A. in Women’s Spirituality from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. She earned her first PhD from Sofia University in Transpersonal Psychology and earned a second in Integral and Transpersonal Psychology from California Institute of Integral Studies. She resides in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
