Unblocked Ep. 147 Breaking the Mold in Mental Health: Courage, Ketamine, and Creating Space with Dagny Michel
What if the very thing that makes you different is exactly what makes you powerful?
In this episode of Unblocked, I sit down with Dagny Michel, dual board-certified nurse practitioner and founder of Occult Mental Health. Dagny shares how she built a practice that refuses to fit the traditional mold of mental health care, and why that’s exactly what so many people need.
We dive into:
- Why the mental health system is failing too many people and what it looks like to do it differently.
- How treatments like TMS and ketamine therapy are offering hope to people who’ve been written off by the system.
- The courage it takes to run a business that doesn’t try to be for everyone, and why that’s the real key to living.
- What it means to embrace the “dark and weird” parts of ourselves as a pathway to healing and belonging.
- Why failure, discomfort, and even a little weirdness can actually be your greatest assets.
If you’ve ever felt too different, too unconventional, or too “much,” this conversation will remind you that your boldness and courage may be the exact medicine the world needs.
