The future of mental health is here.
It’s not more metrics.
It’s more humanity.

But that’s not who we are. From where I sit, our nervous systems are instruments, meant to be tuned, not hacked.
Our psyches aren’t problems to solve. They’re living bridges between mind + mystery.

We’ve built systems that treat humans like machines.
Brains = hardware.
Emotions = glitches.
Nervous systems = code to “optimize.”

I wish I got be an influencer who models Amazon dupes for 500k followers.
Alas, I’m not. I’m the one who decides to blow the whistle on a cultish mentor. That said, the latest episode of Bewitched: breaking the spell after spiritual mentoring goes wrong is available wherever you listen to podcasts.

Two Shrinks and a Gynecologist walk into... menopause ;) Our latest podcast episode is for the perimenopause/menopause crew who wonders if the Grandmother Effect is a little suss.

or where ever you get your podcasts.

This week's Two Shrinks episode is my favorite b/c @barbarakerr.bsky.social shares a story she'd learned long ago from a leader in the French Resistance. It's a story of courage and hope - and if you're a healer or helper you'll take heart. I know I did. Listen for free on Apple or Spotify.

On Monday, Jan 20th @barbarakerr.bsky.social and I are hosting a free virtual workshop: "Freedom Work".

We'll share simple ways that we all can create more freedom to do stuff that we love - like socialize, nap, tell stories, etc, no matter who's in office. LMK if you want an invitation.

@barbarakerr.bsky.social and I are planning our next podcast episodes. RN we're focusing on the similarities between creative communities and communities that form b/c of disasters - like the fires in LA. And we'll share some practical things we can do to support those who are IN IT.

We’re here in Sedona and my heart is heavy.

Before we hiked the vast red rocks, we watched news of the Los Angeles fires.

There’s so much that’s unknown and I can’t help but wonder how this event has already changed the people, the animals, and the planet.

I am here for you.
