The Brain Love Podcast

Health EN ↓ 251 episodes

On Mother's Day in 2020, I created my podcast to help people in the community to better understand themselves, others, and a range of topics to support mental health, wellbeing, and ability to thrive as your true self. I share my experience and knowledge with you and have intimate conversations with a range of professionals on topics including depression, anxiety, dating and relationships, sex and masturbation, racism, alternative health, medications, and more. The discussions are "up close and " and often make listeners feel like they're right there in the room.
