Hey Idiots!

Hey Idiots!My guest this week is Sapphire Sandalo! She's a wonderfully talented animator, host, actress, (everything creative pretty much! She rocks it all!) and she hosts a great podcast called "Stories with Sapphire!"Sapphire's parents are from the Philippines and there's a cultural gap in understanding anxiety and other mental health issues that people struggle with between them and most American born people our age. We discussed the misunderstanding and how she's worked to help them be part of the conversation (or at least attempted and learned when to just accept there's going to be a difference in understanding) and how she's overcome invalidating her own experiences just because they're so different from her parents experience.It was a great chat and she's an absolute delight! Enjoy!This episode is a part of my BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month Series, helping to raise awareness on the need for mental illness care and awareness in minority communities. It was originally all going to be released in the same week but because all the interviews were so great and so important, they definitely needed a full week of their own to be promoted and consumed/Enjoy and share so we can spread the word together!Join the Ignorance is #Blessed Patreon to hear the remaining 20 minutes of this interview and get hot bonus content!

Hey Idiots!She's BAAAACK!!! It's a Dana Moon spectacular!! What started as a convo about being single while living alone in quarantine went all over the place. (Of course it did, it's us.) We discuss how our empathy and people pleasing has attracted narcissists, self-sabotage, and we have a step-dad-off. And more!

Hey Idiots!I'm back in gear with one of my favorite people on the LA comedy scene, Matt Neal. He's a rad guy and I've known him since my early LA comedy days. He's easy to talk to and happens to be involved with MAPS which is on the forefront of psychedelic therapy research. We talked all about how he got involved and how they're changing the prognosis of PTSD patients for the better with MDMA.There's so much that goes into getting things like this legal and he walks me through the process and what the research has shown so far. It's a really cool chat about something that has eluded many mental health professionals for so long, and the key might have been right in front of us this whole time. Holding a glow stick, probably.Enjoy!Follow Matt on Twittermaps.orgMichael Pollan - How to Change Your Mindhttps://michaelpollan.com/books/how-to-change-your-mind/The Manual of Psychedelic Support - https://maps.org/resources/responding-to-difficult-psychedelic-experiences/5529-the-manual-of-psychedelic-supportRick Doblin Ted Talk:He explains the protocols and how everything works and the history very well here...https://www.ted.com/talks/rick_doblin_the_future_of_psychedelic_assisted_psychotherapy?language=enTim Ferriss Capstone Challenge Matching Fundhttps://tim.blog/2020/06/16/maps-capstone-challenge-mdma-ptsd/Join the Ignorance is #Blessed Patreon to hear the remaining 20 minutes of this interview and get hot bonus content!

Hey Idiots!I sat down with up and coming comedian, Holly Anabel Brown to ask her all about living with OCD. She told some interesting stories and we laugh about some dark shit in the way only comedians who have been through mental health hell really can. It was insightful and interesting and if you're dark and twisted like us, you'll get some good laughs out of this one.Join the Ignorance is #Blessed Patreon to hear the remaining 20 minutes of this interview and get hot bonus content!
