What if the discomfort you feel isn’t a sign that something is broken, but simply proof that you’re human?

In this deeply honest and expansive conversation, Tenya sits down with Dr. Fred Moss, psychiatrist, author, and founder of the Welcome to Humanity movement, to explore one of the most radical ideas in mental health today, that there may actually be nothing wrong with you.

Dr. Fred shares his unconventional journey through psychiatry, why he stepped away from diagnosing and medicating people, and how modern mental health has conditioned us to believe discomfort equals defect. Together, they unpack how early conditioning teaches us to disconnect from our true voice, why so many people are afraid to feel their feelings, and how labels can quietly strip us of responsibility, power, and choice.

This episode is a real, human conversation about anxiety, depression, rumination, identity, and what it actually means to live authentically. You’ll hear reflections on trauma without bypassing it, the danger of outsourcing your inner authority, and why being human was never meant to be easy, but it was always meant to be meaningful.

You’ll also hear Dr. Fred introduce his philosophy as “The Undoctor,” his belief in undiagnosing, unmedicating, and undoctrinating ourselves, and how simple, accessible self-care practices can radically shift how we experience life.

If you’ve ever wondered why you feel the way you do, questioned whether you’re broken, or felt exhausted by trying to fix yourself, this conversation may feel like coming home.

Key themes explored in this episode include redefining mental health, reclaiming personal agency, learning to tolerate discomfort, reconnecting with your true voice, and remembering that your lived experience has value, not pathology.

Welcome back to The Metamorphosis Project Podcast. Today’s episode is one that will touch every part of your heart. I sit down with Jim Atkinson, a suicide attempt survivor who has devoted the last forty years of his life to offering hope, compassion, and connection to people in silent crisis.

Jim survived a self-inflicted gunshot wound at sixteen. Instead of hiding what happened, he has become a voice for those who feel alone in their pain. He stands in public spaces holding signs of encouragement. He gives away his books for free. He shares openly about the unreality of suicide, the moment of false peace right before an attempt, and what truly helps people find their way back.

In this episode, we talk about
💭 What was happening in Jim’s mind as a teenager
⚡ The moment that changed everything
