The Sounding Ground Podcast

#mentalhealth #WorldMentalHealthMonth2026 #AIAndHumanity  #ancientwisdom #GriefAndHealing

In Episode 3 of The Sounding Ground, I invite Yen-Lu Chow, founder of the nonprofit mental wellness platform Over-The-Rainbow, co-founder and director of the Asia Institute of Mentoring, and founder of Deep Human Movement.

We explore grief, mental health among youths and adults, and AI’s impact on humanity. Yen-Lu shares his recovery journey as a parent following the tragic suicide of his son, who suffered from manic depression, and the pressing issues youths face today, including loneliness and a decreased sense of hope for their future.

Our conversation turns to a critical topic of our time: AI and its impact on humanity. We discuss what is at stake, how to bring more discernment into our lives, and how to cultivate a deeper sense of humanity through ancient wisdom, practices and meditation.

*Content Warning: This episode discusses themes of suicide, mental health issues and grief processes. Please honour your own boundaries while listening.*
