Today we’re diving deep into one of the most emotional and powerful films on Netflix — K-Pop Demon Hunters. We’re joined by Dr. Sulman Aziz Mirza, MD, a triple board-certified psychiatrist, mental health advocate, and YouTube creator who’s helping redefine representation in medicine and media.
Together, we explore:
💔 What it means to live with shame, guilt, and loneliness when you feel “different”
🔥 The power of self-acceptance and affirming relationships
🧠 Why masking and hiding your identity can be so painful for neurodivergent folks
💞 The healing moment in the film when she cries out, “I need you to love all of me” — and why it resonates with so many of us
This episode blends emotion, culture, and mental health in a conversation that will move you to tears and laughter.
