Acting with Dr. Mykee Fowlin

On this episode, we examine the natural high of acting. Our guest today is someone who lives at the powerful intersection of performance and psychology. Dr. Mykee Fowlin is an accomplished actor, writer, and clinical psychologist who has spent his career using the stage not just to entertain, but to challenge, heal, and transform. Mykee brings a rare depth to his work—whether he’s performing one of his acclaimed solo shows or speaking to audiences about identity, empathy, and mental health.Through his performances, Mykee invites audiences into deeply human stories that confront issues like race, privilege, trauma, and connection, all while showcasing the emotional range and vulnerability that great acting demands. Today, we’re going to explore how acting can be more than just a craft—it can be a tool for self-discovery, emotional expression, and of course, a natural high.On this episode, Matt also discusses the natural high of his perfect day and the natural low of his second shingles shot.
