The Healing Underground with Ìyá Ashley

Behind every system are people.

Ìyá Ashley is joined by one of the top executive coaches for the US healthcare systems leaders, Micha’le Simmons, to go behind the curtain of the U.S. healthcare system. Together, they explore burnout, grief, leadership, and the emotional cost of sustaining systems that were never designed for wholeness.

Through stories of crisis, loss, and embodied leadership, this conversation asks a powerful question: what would healthcare look like if we led with soul instead of productivity?

Healing the system begins with healing ourselves.

Before therapy, there were elders. Before diagnoses, there were divinations.

Ìyá Ashley invites you to remember what mental health looked like before it became a medical industry — and what it can still look like today if we choose. Drawing from her work as a mental health innovator, founder of MindRight Health, and an initiated Ìyánífá, she reframes healing as remembrance, not fixing.

This episode explores why Western clinical models alone often feel incomplete, how ancestral wisdom and community care have always been medicine, and why healing itself has always been an act of resistance.

This podcast is not a lecture. It’s a meditation.
