Mental Health Without Borders: The Global Wellness Podcast with Dr. Lindsay Frey
Why This Podcast?
This podcast is dedicated to exploring mental health and wellness through an international lens, fostering conversations that connect us across cultures.
Mental health is a universal experience, yet every culture approach wellness, balance, and healing differently. As someone deeply passionate about mental health and personal well-being, I have always been fascinated by how people worldwide navigate their emotional, psychological, and spiritual health. Through traveling, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures, I’ve learned that there’s no single approach to wellness—each culture brings unique perspectives that can enrich our understanding.
That’s why I created this podcast—to bring therapists, wellness professionals, and mental health advocates from around the world into meaningful conversations about how we can learn from each other, grow together, and expand our global view of mental well-being.
What to Expect
- Candid Conversations – Engaging discussions with experts from diverse cultural backgrounds on mental health strategies, wellness and balance in their cultures, and modern therapeutic approaches.
- Global Perspectives – Exploring how different cultures define and achieve mental wellness, balance, and resilience.
- Practical Insights – Tools and tips that you can incorporate into your daily life, inspired by perspectives from around the world.
Each episode will be 30 minutes and released twice per month, so whether you’re a mental health professional, wellness enthusiast, or someone looking for inspiration, this podcast is for you!
