Episode 38 - I'll Help You Carry On, Lean On Me

Loneliness. It can make you crave attention, friendship and human interaction. Our guest, Dr. Iru Fernando M.D. a board certified Psychiatrist, discusses how he developed a desire for human connection and belonging due to multiple moves in his childhood. Every time he moved to a new city, he had to make new friends. Iru developed social and emotional skills to help him survive in these circumstances. Because of these experiences he has devoted his career and life to help others find human connection and belonging. 

In this episode, we dive into topics related to both mental health and spirituality. We explore the multiple crossovers between psychiatry and soul healing. We touch on Danielle & Daniela's non-structured meditation practices and how spirituality can help you deal with loss of a loved one.
