#52: Tugi Waiyaki on Therapy, Artistry and the Preciousness of this existence

An episode that flows like a productive session at the therapist! The BBB duo sit with psychologist and performing artist Tugi Waiyaki for a chat on mental health, music and more. Finding clarity, direction, and truth being the soul of the guest’s belief system, Tugi walks the gents through her path so far; overcoming growing pains, anxiety, extreme ideations, depression and despair to finding light, love, abundance, melody and the strength to swim against the current. With candid examples from their individual lives, the three explore ways of functioning in a dysfunctional world while pursuing purpose, healing, grounding and wisdom. The episode celebrates faith, friendship, freedom, mental fortitude and F.L.O.A.T.ing, even as it warns of the folly of scheduling grief, suppressing emotions and using fear to fuel drive. Glorifying the trenches, self-awareness, giving oneself grace and turning towards the direction of love makes this one a most powerful listen.
