Mindful Trip
Min Lee
Everyone has a story and I believe that sharing your story has the power to connect people. And talking to those who’ve experienced the therapeutic magic of psychedelics and hearing about their personal journey has become my passion. Mindful Trip is a safe space to have conversations that demystify and de-stigmatize the use of psychedelics for therapeutic use. Conversations that allow us to have deeper connections with ourselves and others. I hope that sharing these intimate, funny, and inspiring stories helps you find the answers you’re looking for. So, join me in unraveling the threads, staying open, and trusting the journey.
Transcendent Tracks
Danya Day
Think of the music that has touched your life: inspired you, energized you, moved you and maybe even pulled you through a tough time. You’d be hard-pressed to find many humans that haven’t been affected by its power. Music is one of the few creations in this world that can transcend time and space, language barriers and cultural differences. I’m your host and life-long music lover, Danya Day. And on this show, I talk with musicians, music writers, music therapists, music scholars and especially music fans who discuss their personal connections to the artists and tracks that have meant the most to them.These conversations cover a wide range of genres and topics, from the light-hearted to life & death. If you love music of all kinds and learning all the ways it can work its magic, then join me here at Transcendent Tracks.
