This week, Chelsea Lee and Max and Spencer Ernst, otherwise known as the band SHAED, join Going There with Dr. Mike for a frank conversation about vulnerability and staying true to yourself. SHAED is known for hit songs such as "Trampoline," as well as their songs "Everybody Knows I'm High" and "Melt."
