On this episode of Behind the Mic: Powered by REVOLT Podcast Network, we sit down with Dr. Chanda Reynolds, licensed clinical psychologist and host of Paging Dr. Chanda and The Double Dose Podcast. She shares her mission to destigmatize mental health, her experience at REVOLT World, and how growing up in a ministry-focused family in Delaware shaped her path.

We tap into the B-Sides Track of the Week, where Dr. Chanda puts us on to Philip Thompson’s “My Worship”, and wrap things up with a Women’s History Month edition of She Did That!, where she gives flowers to Tabitha Brown, Janet Jackson, bell hooks, and her twin sister, Chanelle.

“If you watch any Black 90s sitcom, there’s always an episode where someone’s struggling with mental health, but they’re ashamed to talk about it. I wanted to change that.” – Dr. Chanda Reynolds
