Where Did Your Mind Just Go? is an open invitation to wonder out loud, sit with the uncomfortable, and find beauty in uncertainty. Each episode, I sit down with a guest to sojourn in a topic that matters to them, and we follow the conversation wherever it wants to go. No scripts. No talking points. Just two people wondering out loud and seeing what we find. Because here's the thing I keep learning: the richest conversations aren't the ones where you walk away with answers. They're the ones where you walk away with better questions. New episodes every 1st and 3rd Wednesday.  Let's see what finds us along the way.

    What can trauma teach us? With David Wang, PhD

    This episode touches on PTSD, betrayal and relational trauma, child trafficking and genocide. Nothing is described in detail. Please take care while listening. Is trauma everywhere now, or are most of us underselling what happened to us? In this episode of Where Did Your Mind Just Go?, Dr. Gabe Lowe sits down with Dr. David Wang, the Cliff and Joyce Penner Chair for the Formation of Emotionally Healthy Leaders at Fuller Seminary, a Senior Research Fellow at the Nagel Institute for the Study of World Christianity at Calvin University, and an Affiliate Scholar at the Dallas Willard Research Center. Dave taught Gabe's trauma class in grad school and is now a friend, mentor and colleague. They talk about why trauma is so hard to name, what changes when the harm comes from someone you were supposed to trust, why the culture gap in immigrant families is often a trauma gap, the vows we make after we get hurt, why healing moves at the speed of life, and what real post-traumatic growth sounds like. Resources mentioned: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk (besselvanderkolk.com), Richard Rohr on transforming pain (cac.org), and the Serenity Prayer.

    Is it religious trauma if you loved church? With Cheyenne Garstad, LCSW

    This episode touches on religious abuse, informal conversion therapy and sexual violence. Nothing is described in detail. Please take care while listening. What if the place that hurt you is also where your best childhood memories live? In this episode of Where Did Your Mind Just Go?, Dr. Gabe Lowe sits down with Cheyenne Garstad, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker who works with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC clients in New Jersey and New Hampshire and serves on the board of Reclamation Collective.

    Kids notice race at six months. Here's what to say, with Anjali Ferguson, PhD

    Babies notice race by six months. Most parents wait years to say anything about it.

Raising two Black and Indian kids with her husband, she has plenty of practice at the conversations most of us avoid. They talk about why the adults are the ones who are not ready, how to answer a five-year-old about immigration raids without frightening them, what race-based trauma actually is, privilege as a blind spot, choosing public school for safety, and the mantra that keeps her family steady: the inside of these walls is a soft place to land.

    Is anyone really born this way? With Joseph Kelly, PhD

    Dr. Gabriel Lowe sits down with clinical psychologist Dr. Joseph Kelly for an exploration of gender, sexuality, identity, and the ongoing process of making sense of who we are. Drawing from Freud, Jean Laplanche, and Avgi Saketopoulou, Joseph challenges the idea that healing always means arriving at a perfectly clear, fixed, and integrated identity.
