This week I’m talking with Dr. Marsha Brown, a licensed psychologist with a specialty in forensic and clinical psychology. I’m especially excited to introduce my audience to Marsha’s work, because in addition to her interest in increasing understanding of topics surrounding mental health health, culture, bias, and forensic psychology, she is also the host of the new podcast, The Self-Care Chronicle, launched last Fall. (And you all know how I feel about self-care by now, so I highly encourage you to check it out.)

We cover a lot of topics in our conversation—from what Marsha’s seeing right now with kids and teens during the Covid-19 pandemic, to her work educating Law Enforcement Officers about interacting with neurodivergent individuals, to why she created the Self-Care Chronicle podcast and what she aims to do with it. This is another episode especially well-suited for this moment in time.
