- Misconceptions about therapy
- Stigma and discrimination
- Crazy vs. mentally ill
- SFPD's Crisis Intervention Team
- NFL's concussion settlement

We also had a chance to discuss the ‪#‎MadMenFinale‬, Dave's final show‪#‎ThanksDave‬ and the future of virtual reality. Picture to come.

The Audra Show Episode #33

4/22/2015

Very big thanks to Erica & Lennie Ballesteros for a fun chat that covered how Er & I hated each other until a giant block of ice changed that forever, how we became F.F.F. and some of our sillier adventures through the years, Lennie's comedy (and Erica's heckling of Lennie's comedy) and who tickled his feet when he was a baby!

Thank you to my friend/former co-worker Mark Salazar for coming on the show to chat about growing up in Hawaii, fighting with old ladies in Daly City, our disastrous work trip to San Diego, Shabu Shabu, Chuck Norris and what to do if you think you or someone you know has an issue with hoarding (for real). And for making me drink my first (and probably last) Bud Light Lime-A-Rita!

Big thanks to my good friend Adrian Robinson for stopping by The Audra Show before leaving the best coast. We chatted about his upcoming move back to DC, why he is getting out of politics, some politics, tech companies, online security, how millenials don't know that Bruce Jenner is the old Michael Phelps and why Kendrick Lamar's new album is the best hip-hop record of all time.

The Audra Show Episode #29

3/18/2015

A big thank you to my silly sissy LoriAnn and her college roomie/honorary Laquidara family member, the "incomparable" Kerry Czerepinski Leo for being my episode #29 guests. We got serious for a little while to discuss their careers in education. Lori is currently helping NYS schools close the achievement gap and Kerry is the co-founder of Da Vinci Education and Research, which helps schools, students and families understand individual learning characteristics. Check them out on FB or here:www.davincicenter.net

But mostly we cracked ourselves up discussing how Kerry really is practically related to us and exploring life's big questions like why Lori was ironing the pajamas pictured here, why real penises don't vibrate and why women don't feel as free in public bathrooms as men.‪#‎womensbathroomrights‬

And THEN, I was joined by my no-longer teenage niece for session #2 of Kara 's Music Review which featured 2 cool new bands that will help you feel hip for knowing about. ‪#‎youhearditontheaudrashowfirst‬

Thank you to Lor, Ker and Kar! I love you all!

Thank you to Anthony Medina of True Hustle Entertainment for another great chat which covered the dangers of consumerism, bringing comedy (and maybe other stuff) to the Brainwash Cafe 7 nights/week and a follow-up on his spiritual awakening/how he remains confident humans are not going to self-destruct! ‪#‎loveyourself‬
