Shownotes

 A short but powerful “But wait, there’s more” follow-up with anthropologist Monty Badami that dives into identity, culture, wellbeing and meaning. Monty shares his time in South India with the Pania community, the limits of a purely biomedical approach to mental health, and a story that still gives Toni goosebumps: the day an elder knew she’d taken a stone from the river. You’ll also hear how this moment helped Monty shift from psychology to anthropology, and how objects, rituals and place can hold memory, belonging and healing.

Topics

• Indigenous communities in South India and the Pania people
• Structural violence, marginalisation and mental health
• Limits of “quick fix” biomedical models
• Culture, story and community as meaning-making
• Objects, rituals and place as memory and identity
• Spirit possession beliefs and cultural worldview shifts
