Read MoreOver the last few years, I've become invested in the research of mental health conditions. One area I had not expected to play a roll was psychedelics to aid as a new tool to help people when other methods prove ineffective.

Read MoreAs with last weeks' Feeding Frenzy being dedicated to understanding the murder of George Floyd. I continue to do what I always do. I read, I listen, and I research. I see the protests as a reaction to long-standing trauma left by the legacy slavery on the United States. I am not here to offer a solution, but instead, I hope to shed light on what has helped me understand the complex story.
For me, I've always believed in nuance, that's why I enjoy long-form podcasts. You can learn more about someone's hopes, dreams, and struggles. In short, in nuanced conversation, you can humanize anyone. No matter how much I may never be able understand a different experience than mine, I can understand their story because deep down it's not much different than mine.

Read MoreThis Feeding Frenzy is more topical than others I’ve posted. I’ve spent much of the week trying to understand this situation develops after the murder of George Floyd.
We, as humans, have perspectives, and the most difficult ones are the ones that are hidden from your view. There are many reasons why they can come hidden from you. I have chosen to absorb and listen to any voices as I can. I seek to understand the lived experience of those who are not like me. I hope by compiling this list of content, you may also come to a new understanding of yourself and your fellow humans.
