Therapy vs. Medication + How to Build Resilience & Believe in Yourself w/ Psychiatrist, Dr. Domenick Sportelli (BEST OF UNLEASH)

Unleash Your Inner Creative with Lauren LoGrasso

Hi creative cuties- this one really inspired me- Dr. Dom got rejected from over 100 medical schools and had to apply three years in a row before finally getting into ONE and graduating with honors. That's just a small part of what makes this episode great- there's also tons of mental health and self-development tips! Before we get to the best of show, I share some BRAND NEW CONTENT at the top of this episode about what I've been up to in the past week and the creative rejuvenation tool that I have been using for the past week that has helped me finally break free from some of the fog/depression I was in. Maybe it can help you, too! Talk soon :)

OH! Also, I have a show in LA coming up on Wed, 06/01 at 8pm at Urban Press Winery in Burbank, CA. Link to get tickets here: https://shows.fanflex.com/artists/xcJ1j3C4ia2T3jlEdsze/campaigns/gcqCWfXwox1YuBjacivk
