Bea Arthur: A Visionary Therapist’s Insight on Bias and Mental Health

In this episode, we're delighted to have the extraordinary Bea Arthur, a Columbia University-trained psychotherapist, award-winning entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and pioneer in the e-therapy space. As the first African-American female founder accepted by Y Combinator, Bea was named an Entrepreneur to Bet On by Newsweek Magazine and one of the 100 Most Inspirational New Yorkers by Bumble. She is the founder and CEO of The Difference, the first on-demand therapy service for in the moment issues. Bea takes us on a fascinating journey of resilience and transformation, from being a rebellious young person who got kicked out of school, to becoming an influential therapist and founder of a tech company.

She shares candid narratives about her personal struggles, including clashes with authority and her journey towards embracing her blackness. Bea talks about navigating the tech industry as a black woman founder, dealing with VC funding challenges, and her innovative company - The Difference - that offers a unique form of therapy. We'll touch on topics of mental health stigma, the power of human connection, diversity and inclusion, and the importance of laughter as a form of relief. We hope you enjoy the show!
