Dr. Adia Gooden discusses how to change the dialogue around depression and the acceptance of getting treatment. Arayna discusses her plan to staying in moments of gratitude and winning the war against depression.

Tune in to today’s episode, when I bring on a special group of friends and family to have a conversation on everything to do with psychedelics. What really happens in our bodies on a biological level when we alter our state of consciousness? Is marijuana considered a psychedelic? What exactly is ayahuasca and why would someone try it?  

Join me in welcoming Dr. Bobby Price, Mo and Tweezy as we go deep on everything you ever wanted to know about drugs: think microdosing, chemical versus natural highs, and the sometimes deeply spiritual aspects of psychedelic trips -- you don’t want to miss this lively chat.  

Arayna talks with the author of Vegucation Over Medication, Dr. Bobby Price about his personal journey to plant-based living .  

Join me as I welcome back Dr. Adia Gooden as we go to Part 2 of this series on relationships.  This time we focus on our relationships with others -- specifically with those who may have hurt us and the pain they can often leave behind. What are different forms of trauma and how can these painful experiences shape how we interact with the world? 

When we think about how we build our relationships, we often rely on negative experiences, or subconsciously seek romantic partners who reflect and trigger our past traumas 

Tune in for our discussion on “toxic masculinity,” “triggers,” being “woke,” “childhood trauma” and other hot mental health buzzwords, what they mean, and how to be more careful with our use of these terms to connect more effectively with others and ourselves.
