I learned about abortion through my experience of growing up in a Catholic society in New Orleans and listening to the conversations around me. Abortion is a complex issue that should be approached with an open mind and an open heart. People must be cautious of making assumptions and oversimplifying the issue, as well as falling into the "tribalism" of choosing one side or the other. It is important to explore all options without feeling pressure or shame and become your own authority figure. Cancel culture and media can lead to a heightened sense of fear and shame when discussing controversial topics, and it is important to be aware of psychological manipulation. It is important to evaluate what has been taught to us and make decisions based on our own mental health. "We need to be able to evaluate things from our minds, our hearts, our intuitions. We need to be able to listen to people, share their stories and listen from all of those parts with discernment." In this episode, I discuss: 1. How does the internet and social media play a role in creating assumptions about people? 2. What are the dangers of succumbing to tribalism and cancel culture? 3. How can we navigate complex topics such as abortion with an open mind and heart? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In addition, I have seen the benefits of psychedelics and marijuana for my clients, and this year I am researching ketamine treatments for myself. Finally, I have learned that love is more than just a feeling, but a practice, consistency, faith and respect for yourself and others. "What doesn't kill us does make us stronger. That cliche is true. And after it makes us stronger, it also helps us become freer." Here's what I cover in this episode: 1. How can understanding one's own family dynamics help bring peace and freedom? 2. What are the potential benefits of using psychedelics as a mental health treatment? 3.

Existentialism is a philosophical framework that emphasizes personal choice and the creation of meaning in life. This belief is centered around the idea of freedom of choice, that we have the power to make choices in life, regardless of our circumstances. It also involves rejecting the victim mentality, taking control of our lives and making choices that positively impact us. Victor Frankel, a renowned psychiatrist, explored the idea of finding meaning in life through his book, "Man's Search for Meaning." He encouraged individuals to forge their own path and create meaning in their lives. Existentialism also touches on the concept of existence preceding essence, questioning our beliefs, embracing personal responsibility, authenticity, and recognizing the absurdity in life.
