Snooping For Healing

Snooping For Healing

Author: Popped Collar Productions August 12, 2026 Duration: 49:26

Mychel "Snoop" Dillard is a doer. When she worked in hospitality she opened nightclubs. When she was asked for tips she began speaking. When she wanted to help others she started mentorship programs. When she lost her daughter she invested heavily into grief recovery. You can read about her experince in her new book, "Grieve. Grow. Go." and check out her memoir "Who Is Snoop." You can also watch her reality series, "Snooping For Love," on Amazon Prime & Tubi. 

A dynamic individual with a lot to share, it is exciting to welcome her onto the program. 

Monday August 31 is the annual Broken Brain LIVE Stream for International Overdose Awareness Day. Join me and Izzy Tehran for the stream, find links to watch (or join) us at www.dwighthurst.com/live 


Ever wondered what happens when you take the serious, often intimidating world of psychology and run it through a filter of genuine curiosity and humor? That’s the space where The Broken Brain lives. Produced by Popped Collar Productions, this podcast sits at a unique crossroads between education and comedy, offering a therapist’s perspective without the sterile clinic feel. Each episode is structured as an organized panel discussion, gathering voices to unpack a wide variety of topics-some unexpectedly silly, others leaning into practical, self-help territory. You’ll hear real therapeutic points of view applied to everyday life, all within a conversation that feels more like a lively chat among insightful friends than a lecture. The result is an hour (ish) of content that aims to demystify mental health concepts while acknowledging the inherent messiness and humor of being human. Tuning in provides a refreshing blend of learning and levity, making complex ideas accessible and surprisingly entertaining. This isn't about jargon or quick fixes; it's about thoughtful exploration with a dose of relatability. The panel format ensures multiple angles are considered, offering listeners a richer understanding than a single host could provide. So, whether you're navigating your own challenges or just fascinated by how minds work, this podcast delivers a compelling mix of insight and irreverence.
