Episode Summary:
Welcome to Who, What, Why & a Little Crazy. I’m Chani, your Information Counselor. This "work in progress" launch episode is designed to be a soft place to land when life feels complicated.
We are laying the foundation of the Three-Legged Stool (The Biopsychosocial Model). We’ll talk about:
The Material: Why chronic issues (like my own migraines) are biological realities, not character flaws.
The Posture: How your internal "scripts" dictate how you balance.
The Footing: Why meeting yourself where you are is the only way to find solid ground.
Scope Note: These episodes are short, explanatory glances. They are a starting point for your research, not a complete medical encyclopedia.

Trailer Who What Why and a Little Crazy
Who, What, Why & a Little Crazy" is a mental health podcast launching this January, hosted by Chani—a guide dedicated to providing real-life logic to help listeners find their footing.
Our mission is to remove the stigma from mental health discussions by translating dense clinical jargon into actionable stability. We use the Biopsychosocial Model—framed for our listeners as the "Three-Legged Stool"—to explore how Biology, Psychology, and Social Factors must be balanced for true wellness.
Our content roadmap covers mainstream issues like Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD, offering listeners a structured understanding of their symptoms and practical coping strategies. Our audience is composed of high-intent individuals who are actively moving from "searching for answers" to "seeking professional support."
Our show specifically addresses the "Social Factors" leg of our stool—the environmental barriers to quality care. We recognize that for many in our community, the primary hurdle is accessibility and convenience.
