About Unchecked

What if everything you’ve been told about your brain—and healing—is outdated, oversimplified, or flat-out wrong? Welcome to Unchecked, the podcast that blows the lid off the traditional mental health system. Neuroscientist Dr. Nicolina Bruno and certified coach Sharon Heno, a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience, are pulling back the curtain on a system that too often keeps people stuck, sick, and silent. This is where science meets soul. Where clinical coldness gets replaced with real talk. And where we stop pathologizing the human experience. From trauma and stigma to identity, neuroscience, and self-healing—nothing is off-limits. Sharon says what most professionals won’t. Nicolina decodes the science no one else explains. Together, they’re flipping the script on what mental wellness really means. No filters. No performance. No playing small. This is Unchecked—raw, rebellious, and relentlessly real. Stay bold. Stay curious. And above all, stay unchecked.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
