    Trailer Who What Why and a Little Crazy

    Who, What, Why & a Little Crazy" is a mental health podcast launching this January, hosted by Chani—a guide dedicated to providing real-life logic to help listeners find their footing. Our mission is to remove the stigma from mental health discussions by translating dense clinical jargon into actionable stability. We use the Biopsychosocial Model—framed for our listeners as the "Three-Legged Stool"—to explore how Biology, Psychology, and Social Factors must be balanced for true wellness. Our content roadmap covers mainstream issues like Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD, offering listeners a structured understanding of their symptoms and practical coping strategies. Our audience is composed of high-intent individuals who are actively moving from "searching for answers" to "seeking professional support." Our show specifically addresses the "Social Factors" leg of our stool—the environmental barriers to quality care. We recognize that for many in our community, the primary hurdle is accessibility and convenience.
