    #239 - Roxanne Chaput - Beyond the 30-Day Myth: The Years-Long Journey of True Healing

    Mental Matters host Asekho Toto engages in a conversation about the reality of deep healing with a spiritual practitioner who challenges popular quick-fix narratives. This episode confronts the common belief that habits can be broken in just 30 days, revealing instead that authentic healing from generational patterns and trauma can take years of dedicated work. Roxanne Chaput introduces listeners to the concept of the "pain body"—explaining how we become paradoxically comfortable with our discomfort and why the ego resists moving into unknown territory even when it promises healing. Through discussions of somatic healing, breathwork techniques, and the remarkable self-healing capabilities of the human body, this episode offers both practical wisdom and spiritual insights for those committed to genuine transformation. Asekho shares his personal struggle with resistance to healing, creating an intimate space for listeners to reflect on their own healing journeys. This conversation speaks directly to those who have tried multiple healing approaches without lasting results, offering a compassionate explanation for relapse patterns and a more realistic timeline for breaking through deeply ingrained cycles. Essential listening for mental health professionals, spiritual seekers, and anyone committed to authentic personal growth.

    #234 - Leslie Draffin - Cyclical Healing: Microdosing in Rhythm with Women's Mental Health

    In this episode of Mental Matters, host Asekho Toto dives into the intersection of psychedelics and women's health with an expert who has pioneered a revolutionary approach to mental wellness through cyclical microdosing. The conversation illuminates how traditional mental health treatments have historically overlooked the unique biological rhythms of women, treating them as "little men" rather than acknowledging their distinct physiological needs and patterns.The guest shares profound insights into how women's mental health fluctuates throughout their menstrual cycle, with many experiencing heightened anxiety, depression, and other challenging symptoms particularly in the week before menstruation. This biological reality has significant implications for mental health treatment, yet has only recently begun receiving proper scientific attention. After extensive specialized training in menstrual cycles, Leslie Draffin developed a tailored microdosing protocol that works in harmony with these natural rhythms rather than against them. Throughout the discussion, Asekho demonstrates genuine curiosity about psychedelics and their potential impact on mental health, creating space for an educational conversation that challenges misinformation while acknowledging the importance of accurate resources in this emerging field. The guest emphasizes that while research suggests numerous benefits of psychedelics for mental health, the specific benefits each person experiences are uniquely tailored to their individual needs and circumstances.T he episode explores how this cyclical microdosing approach has already shown promising results in the guest's clients, including decreased period pain, reduced cramps and menstrual migraines, and significant improvements in premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) symptoms. For those suffering from PMDD—described as "PMS on steroids"—this approach offers hope for managing severe anxiety, depression, and even suicidal ideation that can emerge cyclically. Beyond the practical applications, the conversation touches on deeper themes of self-acceptance and self-compassion. The guest shares a powerful perspective on witnessing oneself in both moments of greatness and struggle, embracing both as worthy aspects of the human experience. This holistic approach to mental wellness acknowledges both the biochemical and psychological dimensions of healing. The episode concludes with information about a free five-day email course offered by the guest, designed to teach listeners exactly how to microdose in alignment with their menstrual cycles for improved mental health. Whether you're personally interested in alternative approaches to women's mental health or simply seeking to understand the evolving landscape of gender-specific wellness practices, this episode offers valuable insights into how honoring our biological rhythms may be key to more effective mental health care.

    #232 - Randy Adkins Jr. - Intentional Creation: Finding Your Unique Purpose Beyond Trauma

    In this episode of Mental Matters, host Asekho Toto dives into the transformative journey of self-discovery and purpose with a spiritual guide who brings unique insights from both faith and technology backgrounds. The conversation explores how our minds operate like computer programs, running the same algorithms of past trauma and limiting beliefs until we consciously intervene to break these patterns. Randy Adkins Jr reveals the powerful concept of humans as tripartite beings—body, soul, and spirit—and how understanding this framework can lead to authentic self-discovery. Learn why many of us remain trapped in cycles of victimhood, continuously replaying traumatic memories that have become our mental default settings, and discover practical approaches to release these patterns through intentional surrender and forgiveness. The discussion illuminates the distinction between our general purpose (connection with our creator) and our specific purpose (utilizing our unique gifts), offering listeners a roadmap to identify what comes naturally to them as a signpost toward their authentic calling. Randy shares wisdom on balancing the demands of daily life with the essential practice of self-discovery, emphasizing that even small, consistent efforts can lead to profound transformation over time. Whether you're feeling stuck in repetitive negative patterns, searching for deeper meaning in your life, or simply curious about the intersection of spirituality and mental wellbeing, this episode provides both philosophical depth and practical guidance. The conversation challenges listeners to move beyond playing the victim to becoming the victor of their own narrative, creating rather than merely following scripts written by others or by past trauma. Join us for this thought-provoking exploration of how intentional self-discovery, consistent practice, and spiritual alignment can free you from the programming of your past and empower you to live authentically in your divine purpose.
