Joe and Counselor Dekel Zuhri return with another powerful installment of the Positive Awakening Series, and this week they’re joined by Marriage and Family Therapist Mwiche Lupambo for a conversation that’s as honest as it is inspiring. 

Mwiche shares her remarkable journey from Zambia to the United States — a path filled with challenges, cultural adjustments, and the determination to pursue her calling in mental health. She opens up about the moment she realized she was experiencing depression herself, and how, in her community, mental health wasn’t something people talked about, let alone sought help for. Her story sheds light on the cultural barriers many still face when it comes to acknowledging emotional struggles. 

Together, the trio digs into the realities immigrants encounter today, the pressure to adapt while holding onto identity, and the ways people are coping with these layered experiences. From stigma to resilience, cultural silence to personal awakening, this episode explores the many dimensions of mental health through Mwiche’s lived experience and professional insight.
