Rise above it all, stay elevated, create the infinity; Up your You.

The Bird Brain podcast is a fresh take on Mental Health, self awareness, self love, and self reflection delivered in a way that feels more like a conversation with a good friend than a daunting task assigned by a teacher. It's about having a "Bird's eye-view" on very common experiences and using practical tools to shift your mindset to develop a healthier love and appreciation for yourself.

Join host Isaiah as he discusses common topics from relationship dynamics to trauma pulling from his own experiences and expertise to deliver a digestible and impactful experience.

But there's more...

If mental health isn't your thing, there's a horror sub-chapter, the "Night owl" featuring original short horror stories written by Isaiah and narrated by himself and other actors.

Not one to miss.

Take flight.
