The Candor Report started as a Brain Food Garden Project social media hashtag #CandorSavesLives in 2015 as a means for peers living with mental health concerns to bust stigma and share their wellness tools and mental health stories with each other. This informational podcast will create an honest dialogue intersecting the Mental Health and Food Justice communities. Promoting a peer-centric view on how gardening and making healthier food choices advance transformational healing. The program starts with the “Digging Deep” segment, where the hosts break down the mental health and Food Justice hot topics of the day. During the second segment of each show,” Candid Chat,” the hosts interview a guest who is an expert in their field, ranging from Mental Health Peer Advocates, Mental Health/Horticultural Therapists, Chefs to Food Justice Advocates, Farmers and Urban Gardeners, Politicians, Thought Leaders, Neuroscientists and more. Each show concludes with the hosts asking the guest(s) of the day a random selection of rapid-fire questions from our “Candor Questionnaire,” our homage to the famous Proust Questionnaire.
