THE TRANSFORMED MINDS

Healing Conversations on Mental Health

Where knowledge heals, compassion connects, and minds transform. Learn. Heal. Transform.

Welcome to The Transformed Minds!

At The Transformed Minds, we believe healing begins with real conversations — rooted in faith, wisdom, and compassion.

We’ve officially launched our podcast, newsletter, and blog — funded by a NIDA award and supported by the National Medical Association (NMA).

Our early episodes dive into themes of substance use, resilience, and recovery, offering honest storytelling, expert insights, and evidence-based strategies. Alongside the podcast, The Mind Brief delivers biweekly reflections, mental health tips, episode transcripts, and behind-the-scenes content — all designed to inform, empower, and uplift.

Whether you’re a clinician, trainee, student, advocate, or someone with lived experience — you’re in the right place.

LEARN.

Empower your life through knowledge, compassion, and truth.

HEAL.

Knowledge sparks healing. Heal your soul.
