Well, hello, and welcome to the Terry Cole Show. I am so psyched to be back with you. I took a couple of shows off because I was finishing writing my book called Boundary Boss.

And now it is in the hands of the publisher. I'm free,

whoa! So I will be back people. But today is an extra special episode of the Terry Cole show because I'm

interviewing a therapist named

Sonic Powell. She is an Indian American licensed professional counselor

and she's based in Austin, Texas. And I actually found her on

Instagram. Her handle is at Curley therapist and her work is so

accessible and clear to understand and super helpful for me personally she promotes inclusive and diverse mental health awareness.

Not only in her work with her clients, but also through social media,

this happens to be the very tail end of BiPoc Mental Health Awareness Month.

So we're getting it in there and she is a big proponent

and supporter and spreader of information for BiPoc. proponent and

all the supporter of information for BiPOC mental health awareness

and all the obstacles to it and all the ways to actually overcome those obstacles

so I thought she is a perfect person to talk to

about it so her work utilizes is more of a holistic model that considers the

biological the psychological and the social spheres of health, which is so incredibly

needed in the world of mental health which we talk about that in the interview.

Additionally she strives to help people increase their self-awareness, self-acceptance, and emotional intelligence.

So I hope that you enjoy this interview, this conversation with Sana as much as I enjoyed

interviewing her.

This is the Terry Cole show and as you might have guessed, I'm your host Terry Cole.
