- Would you believe me if i told you that back in 2019, a banana ducted tape to a wall (what they call a 'piece of art') had been sold for $120,000 at Art Basel (Miami Beach)?

- Does the explicit language in RNB and Rap music, have a negative effect on people / does it ultimately shape people?

- Is the Magic Mike movie franchise, a toxic representation of how a 'true man' should look physically?

- Does the 2023 world, bring forth a sense of repression?

- Are we doing enough for 'mental health', in 2023. Is there an apparent positive progressional change?

These questions... and MORE, were discussed in detail, in this episode of 'Couching The Mind'...

Moto of the Podcast (if your a new listener) = —> Clearing the mind one couch talk at a time <— PODCAST UPDATE: This is the new and improved ‘Couching The Mind’. Where majority of episodes going forward, will be conducted in a group like environment. I personally find that by interviewing 2-3 people at once, it creates a certain level of comfortability for interviewees to be able to say exactly how they feel upon certain topics. Plus interviewees can argue back and forward on certain things, which I feel as if it’s a really important perk to have. And one other thing, laughter, laughter, laughter! They’ll be plenty of this as well!

Guests that joined me in this week’s episode: > Jeff Woolaston

Main message from the episode: Be sure to always be respectful of other peoples opinions. Because sometimes, subconsciously without evening knowing, we may slip up and say and or do something that could emotionally, and mentally challenge someone.
