Are you just starting your mental health journey or finding it tough to pick up where you left off? Welcome to Mental Health Unscripted. I'm Iyana Anderson, a Licensed Social Worker and CEO of Well Together, and I'm here to offer you a safe, non-judgmental space for whole-person mental health discussions.

I remember when I was 14, and my younger cousin, just 12 years old, passed away. Coming from an Antiguan family, we didn't really know how to cope with the grief. The impact of that loss lingered for years, and without the right support, I struggled to understand and process what I was going through. This experience profoundly affected my mind, body, and spirit.

As I got older, I finally learned more about mental health and took the courageous step to start therapy, which transformed my healing journey. Facing my own mental health challenges and the stigma within my community, I want to create a space where we can openly discuss mental health, understand its impact on the whole person, and fill our wellness toolbox with various practices and resources.

Each week, I'll be joined by a diverse range of experts—from mental health professionals and wellness practitioners to entrepreneurs. Together, we'll share our expertise, relatable experiences, and tangible tips to help you achieve mental wellness.

So whether you're looking for guidance, inspiration, or just a comforting voice, tune in to Mental Health Unscripted. Your journey to mental wellness starts here.

As we like to say, Wellness starts with you, but it ends with us. Visit our website at www.welltogether.us to join us on the journey. 


Finding a genuine conversation about mental well-being that moves beyond clinical terms can be a challenge. Mental Health Unscripted exists in that space, guided by the experience and empathy of Licensed Social Worker Iyana Anderson. As the founder of Well Together, Iyana approaches these dialogues with a deep understanding that our mental state is intertwined with every other aspect of our lives-our physical fitness, our work, and our personal growth. This podcast brings together a wide range of voices, from therapists and wellness practitioners to entrepreneurs and individuals with powerful stories, all contributing to a richer, more practical understanding of what it means to be well. You’ll hear unpolished, honest discussions that offer tangible insights and strategies, making complex topics accessible and relatable. It’s a resource for anyone who has ever felt stuck on their path or is simply curious about fostering a healthier mind. By tuning in, you join a community-oriented exploration, where the focus is on the whole person, not just a diagnosis. Each episode is designed to feel like a thoughtful conversation with a knowledgeable friend, providing both perspective and actionable steps for navigating daily life with greater resilience and clarity.
