    Liana is joined by Registered Art Therapist & co-host of "Am I A Bad Therapist" podcast, Allie Joy, to bring ya'll some pop culture content!  The two discuss Kanye West's (or Ye, who knows anymore) openness about his bipolar diagnoses as well as his decision to go off his medication.  Allie shared the dangerous implications she saw as a result of this among her personal clientele who are big Ye fans, and how it has influenced a new important conversation.  As an art therapist, Allie shares the facts and dismantles Kanye's statement about claiming his medication impacted his ability to be creative in his work.  Liana and Allie reflect on other artists, such as Kid Cudi, Kendrick Lamar, and David Letterman who have been so open and honest about their mental health struggles and resilience.  The two contrasting scenarios reminds us to be mindful of the messages we are listening to, and to avoid taking our medications into our own hands!
