Bigger Than Me: Reflections from the Mental Wealth Expo

Author: Iyana Anderson, LSW October 13, 2025 Duration: 14:06

In this heartfelt episode of Mental Health Unscripted, host Iyana Anderson shares her reflections from the Mental Wealth Expo, hosted by Charlamagne tha God, Dr. Alfiee, iHeartRadio, and the Mental Wealth Alliance.

Iyana begins by honoring World Mental Health Month, exploring what it truly means, this year's theme, and how we all share an individual and collective responsibility to nurture mental wellness in ourselves and our communities.

She then takes listeners behind the scenes of her experience at the Queen's Rising Panel, where she had the honor of joining an inspiring lineup of trailblazing women in the mental health and wellness space. Iyana opens up about her deep gratitude for the opportunity, not just to be on stage, but to be in community, sit alongside such amazing trailblazers, and to reflect on the spiritual reminders this experience offered.

This episode is a reminder that sometimes our opportunities are bigger than us,  that moments of purpose often meet us where preparation and faith align. Iyana also shares lessons on celebrating yourself, honoring divine timing, and continuing the journey,  even when the road feels uncertain.

Tune in for thoughtful insights, soulful reminders, and an inspiring reflection on purpose, community, and the power of mental wellness.
