S2.E2. Radical Access is The Future of Mental Health Care—with guest Dr. Philip Butler, creator of Seekr Bot

Our World Mental Health Day episode is a conversation with Philip Butler, Ph.D., about the future of mental health care: one that puts healing in each person's own hands. We talk about the barriers to accessing healing and mental health care, especially for Black people.
Dr. Butler's solution is to put the Internal Family Systems therapy methodology in everyone's hands through his Seekr Bot app so that we can access healing anytime anywhere. "The Seekr Project is part of a larger plan to bring culturally relevant artificial intelligence to smart devices. " Since Black people in the United States have historically been oppressed economically, Dr. Butler went out to create a way for folks to access care no matter their budget.
Tune in to hear how artificial intelligence therapy can help us all heal on a massive scale, eliminating gatekeepers, stigma, and labels.
Dr. Philip Butler is an interdisciplinary scholar in neuroscience, technology, spirituality, and Blackness. He writes on artificial intelligence, disruptive ethical models, and constructive speculative Black futurisms.

His first book, Black Transhuman Liberation theology explores the potential for Black people to integrate technology and spirituality for liberation. He is the editor of the forthcoming volume Critical Black Futures which takes a critical and speculative approach to wildly imagined and critically examined future worlds yet to exist.

His interdisciplinary work, deep love for Black communities, and desire to construct digital consciousnesses associated with racial and cultural identities are directed towards making difference normative in emergent technologies and future realities.

S1.E25. Being Scene: The Healing Power of Parties, Raves, and Social Gatherings—with guest Evan Cudworth, party coach

This week Anne and Alison talk with Evan Cudworth, The World's 1st Party Coach, about his mission to help people party with intention. We hear his personal story about growing up in small-town, Christian, Illinois and then joining a fraternity in college and coming out as gay. We hear about the careers he tried before realizing and inventing his dream job. Evan shares with us the benefits of different types and levels of sobriety and all the benefits of enjoying a strong social life through parties, raves, and other social gatherings—especially when done as a way to connect rather than escape.
EVAN PAUL CUDWORTH is a musician who believes that a great "party" is a tribal event: a portal to human connection we can only achieve together as a group. But after spending practically every weekend of the last 15 year at a bar, concert, festival, or nightclub, Evan experienced the extreme highs and lows that alcohol and drugs contribute to our social scene.

He's now on a mission to inspire people to take a closer look at WHY we really “party," and teaches anyone how to experience & enjoy "short-term-sobriety" (1 - 3 months) and regain their natural confidence while connecting without anxiety. In this space of clarity, you can set clear intentions for WHY they party: Escape? Find a lover? Network for your career?

Inside these intentions are the healthy habits and freedom to then sustainably reintegrate alcohol/substances in a way that leaves you and your social circle feeling fulfilled and connected.

We interview Joe and Mendy McNulty, a husband and wife who are both former Pastors, about their lives growing up in the Church of the Nazarene, a fundamentalist Christian faith. They share how they left the church after years of working as head Pastor and children's Pastor respectively, and found new, alternative ways to help people heal.

Anne and Alison talk with Nivida Chandra about parentification. She is the author of the viral Aeon piece, Parentification: When parents cast a child into the role of mediator, friend and carer, the wounds are profound. But recovery is possible.
