Through personal reflection, Morgan shares her own experiences of growing up with a father whose demanding career kept him often away, and her tendency towards workaholism. She shares how she intends to do things differently with her own child.\nAs the discussion unfolds, Dr. Mat\xe9 delves into his belief that we are living in a toxic culture, where stress and societal pressures take a toll on our mental and physical health. He highlights the direct link between our minds and bodies, particularly evident in marginalized groups facing systemic racism. Dr. Mat\xe9 and Morgan discuss how it is in this context that parents are expected to raise children, and how cultural parenting norms often contradict intuitive caregiving practices, driven by economic necessities rather than emotional well-being.\nThe episode wraps up with an eye-opening discussion on the potential of psychedelics in healing trauma, with Dr. Mat\xe9 sharing the emerging research and the need for better access to these powerful tools in mental health care.\nTo learn more about Dr. Gabor Mat\xe9's work discussed in this episode, check out his books The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing In A Toxic Culture and Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need To Matter More Than Peers.\nTune in to this insightful episode, and make sure to leave a rating and review to show your support for these incredibly powerful conversations being had week after week!\n\nMore from Dr. Gabor Mat\xe9:\nhttps://drgabormate.com/\nhttps://www.instagram.com/gabormatemd?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==\n\nMake sure you are following Morgan on TikTok to follow along with her beauty and wellness journey!\xa0https://www.tiktok.com/@morgandebaun?_\nJoin the Newsletter for More Exclusive Content: https://worksmartprogram.ac-page.com/thejourneypodcast\nVisit\xa0Mormatcha.com\xa0to make a purchase.\nFollow us on Instagram:\xa0https://instagram.com/thejourneybymdb\nProduced by AosseyCreative.
