DJ Hesta Prynn's Music is Therapy

Curious about psychedelics? Dr. Priyanka Wali is a board-certified physician who uses ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to treat depression - with music at the core of every session. Research calls music the hidden therapist, and in this episode we get into exactly how it works and why it changes everything.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. This conversation is for anyone who has tried everything and still isn't feeling better, and for anyone who has heard the word ketamine and immediately thought of a college party in 1999.
TRY THIS: If you or someone you love has been struggling with depression and feels like nothing is working, Google "ketamine assisted psychotherapy near me." It's legal, it's covered by some insurance, and it's closer than you think.
Send this to the person in your life who is still waiting to feel better. You know who.

Halim Flowers spent 22 years incarcerated - including two years in solitary confinement as a teenager - and emerged as a thriving painter, writer and creator. But this conversation isn't about prison - it’s about the emotional prisons people live in every day: shame, fear, trauma, self-hatred, heartbreak, the stories we get trapped inside and can’t seem to escape. How music, art, imagination, and self-expression can help all people process emotion, reconnect to themselves, and feel free again.

If you've ever wondered why you keep choosing the same relationships, reacting the same way, or feeling stuck no matter how much work you've done, this episode is the answer. May is Mental Health Awareness month, and all month we’ll focus on helping you understand why you feel what you feel, and what to do about it.
TRY THIS: Think about a pattern in your life you're tired of repeating. Now ask yourself – what is that pattern trying to protect you from? That's where your origin wound lives. Take Vienna's quiz at theoriginsofyou.com to find out which one is yours.

Heidi Hartwig has been building community her whole life. As the creator of Friends from New York, she shares why nightlife isn't a luxury - it's medicine. In a world where AI is doing more and screens are replacing everything, this conversation is about why getting into a room with strangers - no phones, just music and people - might be the most important thing you can do for yourself right now.
This is my April theme: community, and what it actually takes to find your people when the whole world is on a screen.
TRY THIS: Find one song, one artist, one scene that makes you feel like yourself. It doesn't have to be a party. It can be a movie club, a backgammon night, a tiny show. Just go.

Shervin Lainez has photographed the biggest musicians alive (Adele, St. Vincent, David Byrne) and he did it by walking up to artists in New York alleys with no portfolio and a lot of nerve. I met him when he was 22 and shooting indie bands for free, he took life-changing photos of me at the Chelsea Hotel, and watching him become the guy everyone wants to shoot them has been one of my favorite things to witness.
Community is my April theme: who passed you around when you were nobody, and why that network of people who believed in you before you had proof is the thing you keep trying to find your way back to.
TRY THIS: Think about the first time someone paid you to do the thing you love. Remember how insane that felt. That feeling isn't gone, it's your baseline. Everything you're building now is trying to honor it, not recreate it.
