Dr. Will Cole

“Jonathan Van Ness, Emmy-nominated television personality, hairstylist, self-care guru, New York Times bestselling author, and host of the Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness podcast “In Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess, Dr. Leaf discusses her search for answers to perplexing questions concerning mental health—and shows how our psyche and emotions release physiological chemicals that negatively affect us cognitively, behaviorally, and emotionally. She sets out to prove that although we must live in a world filled with stressors that keep us in perpetual states of anxiety, we can mitigate these negative effects through self-awareness and simple practices. By understanding the nature of such stressors, which are major contributing factors to mental illness, we will find a remedy stronger than any pharmaceutical—a strategy I call ‘mind over matter.”
