How Shanti Das Went from Players Ball to Purpose with #SilenceTheShame

On this episode of Butternomics, our host, Brandon Butler, sits down with music executive turned mental health advocate Shanti Das to talk about her journey from hit records to healing. Shanti helped shape the sound of Atlanta, working with Outkast, Usher, TLC, and more, before stepping away from the industry to start something even more personal. She opens up about what pushed her to the edge, how therapy changed everything, and why she built #SilenceTheShame to help others do the same. This is a conversation about legacy, loss, and finding purpose on the other side of pain.
