The Contended Perception Podcast

Deanna Burakowski

I created this podcast as an outlet for myself. I feel like my personal ideas and opinions about life, in general... are often discredited and/or disliked, by those around me. When my opinions have simply formulated over time, through my own life experiences and formal education and are often, contended because it makes the other person challenge themselves. Knowledge and wisdom come as you grow and develop throughout life. && all I can hope is that this podcast makes you think twice about the topics I present. You don’t have to agree, I simply ask for you to hear me out. 🙌🏼🙏🏼 namaste

    Mass Shooting in Chesapeake, Virginia 22 November 2022

    This is just a summary of what I have been discussing this entire season on the contended perception podcast channel and now on the Transcended Voices Podcast channel. Mass shootings and access to proper mental health care and services is essential to reducing gun violence here in Hampton Roads and Nationwide. Owning a gun is a human right. We all have the right to own tools to assist us with effectively protection ourselves and our individual security. Stop blaming guns and start listening to me!! This is not rocket science… but, when you have unqualified professionals “helping” people you don’t really have help! They are only hindering people more and profiting off of it! Now, our communities are on a “first come, first serve” basis for FUNDING for these necessary programs. It’s scary knowing unqualified people continue to hold titles that ultimately will have an affect on the overall collective, yet not a single person cares. I have contacted more than 50 people for help…. People who hold political titles, state leaders, council members… not a single reply. No one cares, so my question to society today is… just how many more homicides, suicides, overdoses, MASS SHOOTINGS, have to continue to occur before someone listens to me… let Psychology majors work where they are needed! This change won’t happen over night but damn 10 years from now, we will be in a lot better position than we are in today. Something has to give, we need reform. Now.
