This week I am able to welcome back my "Twin" Kayla and we discuss some "grown-folk business" as our grandparents and parents would say! We discuss on how some men don't really grow up because they've been coddled their whole lives. We also dive into issues about the need for IEPs in schools along with helping kids with their educations while dealing with the importance of raising our voices to stand up against racism that is still happening in the U.S. today. This episode was powerful and Kayla brought out amazing points to each topic we discussed.

I never really shared this story with anybody but a couple best friends and my therapist. What better way to share my journey with an eating disorder from the ups, downs, highs, and lows than on my Podcast show! This was very emotional, raw, and powerful that I barely edited anything out of the episode because I want you to feel my emotions! Thank you for your continued support and listening to my show weekly! I hope you find this as a safe and comforting space for you to process what you're going through and remember that you are not alone! Everyone's journey is different and as I mention all the time, "Heaing doesnt happen in a straight line..." - so be gentle with yourself! :)

Please listen to Episode 3 before you listen to Episode 4 because they follow each other! The discussion of how horrible gaslighting can be and how it messes with our mental health. Not only gaslighting, but it is also accompanied by guilting and ghosting. I call it the "3-Gs" (Gaslight, Guilt, Ghost) - the three phases of this horrible behavior.

This episode I will talk more about my mental health diagnosis and what I am currently experiencing with these mental events during a crisis. I also talk more about my journey with Dyslexia and how I function in a world where I'm "different" from others. My famous quote is "When the world sees a wall, I need to see a window".

This episode is a very special one as it's a "viewer's choice" on what topic they want me to talk about this week. The first three listeners that listened to Episode 1 were chosen to provide me with a topic to talk about where it made me very humbled to improvise and not talk from bullet points. The three lucky listeners that provided me with episode 2 are Paul (Farm Life), Alyssa (Burnout), and Steve (Heartbreak & Hardship). This was very fun and emotional to record!

Episode 1! This is the series premiere of Where Have You Been? with Dr. Andrew! Welcome to my show and I hope you enjoy getting to know more about my podcast and what I plan to do with my platform. Just sharing a few stories from my life and giving a preview of what's to be expected this season as we dive deeper into stories and events that will be shared as we all work on our healing journeys together; because healing doesn't happen in a straight line!
