Podcast Description
Welcome to your new favorite group therapy session—but with more laughs, hot takes, and probably too much iced coffee.
Hosted by an Afghan-Angeleno social worker (that’s me, Madina Wardak) and featuring my best friend Kyna Wise (fellow Angeleno social worker) this podcast is where two millennial mental health professionals unpack the world, one slightly-chaotic conversation at a time. From decolonizing wellness to raging about the news, we cover politics, culture, identity, and the awkward art of existing—all from the cozy dysfunction of my walk-in closet.
