Why ASHx?
Last year, I recall one night feeling extremely lost and praying to God that he would give me an answer. The following day, I vividly heard the word, podcast ringing in my ears.
Growing up, I always loved attending music festivals. Feeling the crowd's energy and watching artists whose music I felt so deeply connected to was always a spiritual experience for me. Pursuing a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and Spirituality at Columbia University allowed me to understand how science backs spirituality, and how various holistic methodologies can help drive resilience amongst individuals suffering from mental disorders.
Depression affects over 350 million people worldwide. I started to become more curious to uncover how artist’s diverse values and methods towards spirituality shaped a role in their ultimate success.
If this podcast can help just 1 person overcome depression, I would feel forever grateful!
