Psych Junkie
Psych Junkie is a podcast about the real stuff. The good, the bad, and the ugly. The stuff that we don't typically share but need to. It's real people, real talk, with a dash of humor. Facilitated by psychologist Dr. Amanda Burke, we cover everything from life struggles, relationships, dating, break ups, parenting, mental health, and overall wellness. Join us for an enlightening discussion of how we can navigate life and not simply survive, but truly thrive.
