Helen Sernett, founder and host of the Sleep Lists podcast, was a non-profit fundraiser at the end of her rope, struggling with a long list of medical issues.

Mary was once afraid that everyone would find out how incredibly ordinary she was and that would be her ultimate demise. She doesn't use smoke and mirrors, she is raw and honest and caring AF to be around. She believes in the magical mess of life and this informs her work. For the past 15+ years Mary has supported women and men in making small daily changes that make a major impact on their lives. These simple, ordinary changes can get lost in the flashy online world and at times the topics that need to be addressed need more space to be looked at from the both/and, yes and yes perspective. She focuses on educating women about changes that occur once they cross into the threshold of motherhood and how best to use this change to catalyst them forward vs staying trapped in the mother box. Mary believes that in a world where women thrive through cultivating their own inner gardens they will naturally give back creating more peaceful homes, happier relationships and a thriving society.

Dana S. Diaz is a wife, mother, and author of the best-selling book GASPING FOR AIR: THE STRANGLEHOLD OF NARCISSISTIC ABUSE. Starting in her childhood years, she endured lifelong experiences with narcissistic abuse. Her education in journalism and psychology at DePaul University in Chicago gave her the ability to accurately verbalize and express how narcissistic abuse creates confusion and conflict within victims, so that she can help other victims know they are not alone and better understand their own circumstances. Today, Dana is a proud voice for fellow victims who are unable, afraid, or ashamed to share their experiences. She strives to create awareness and understanding to ensure victims are given the support they need to first understand their situation and then begin the healing process. Her first book, chronicling her own abusive marriage that lasted nearly three decades, started as a journal that she hid under the couch cushion in the basement.

The image of the Black man in America has changed over time and continues to evolve. Historically, Black men have been subjected to negative stereotypes and discrimination, often portrayed as violent, dangerous, and intellectually inferior. These stereotypes were perpetuated through media representation, such as in films and television shows, and in everyday interactions. However, in recent years, there has been a shift in the portrayal of Black men in the media and in popular culture. Black men are now being portrayed more positively, with more representation in film and television as complex, multifaceted individuals with a range of emotions and experiences. There has also been a growing recognition of the impact of systemic racism and discrimination on Black men, including the ways in which it can lead to economic disadvantage, social isolation, and negative health outcomes. Despite these changes, Black men continue to face significant challenges in American society, including higher rates of incarceration, police brutality, and economic inequality. Efforts to address these issues and create a more equitable society for all are ongoing. For these reasons, I have invited 2 of my close friends, Bobby Shelley and Kevin McIntyre, to the show to discuss the current state of the black man in America. Also, I just wanted to have a conversation with two black fathers who are raising black sons and show the world that this is our normal: black men giving back to society, being positive role models and working hard everyday to become better versions of themselves. Finally, this will be my last show for awhile. I am taking a break to focus on the 6AM Run podcast. Also, I wanted to take some time to decide where I want this show to go and if it has possibly run its course. Thanks again for all your support.

I could have brought a black guest on to talk about February but that song and dance is played out.  I could have told everyone that I am going to focus on poverty, police brutality, the unbalanced school system and other things plaguing the black community during Black History Month, but that is so 2022.  From now on, I am continuing the conversation throughout the entire year.  That is why I invited Dr. Kimya Nuru Dennis to chat with me. Dr. Dennis is an activist, sociologist and criminologist, educator, and researcher. As founder of 365 Diversity, Dr. Dennis helps change policies and practices, curriculum and courses, and evaluations and assessments for K-12 schools, colleges and universities, businesses, human resources offices, for-profit and non-profit organizations, and communities.

A range of demographics and cultures captured include race and ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, language and communication, mental health, physical health, self-harm and suicide, disability, reproductive health and freedom, and sexual health and freedom. Born and raised in the city of Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Dennis lived in North Carolina to attain the doctorate and as college faculty. Dr. Dennis now lives in the city of Baltimore, Maryland and connects with local, national, and international communities, schools, businesses, and organizations.

This is going to be a little different for most of you. As some of you know, I am the host of another show, the "6AMRun Podcast." That show is not only about running and nutrition, but it also about self-help and lifesfyle. We bring on all kinds of guests and this week I wanted to bring you into that show. Join 6AMRun.com Ambassador and Host, Marc Paisant, as we welcome Autoimmune expert, Josie Warren, to the show. For much of her young adult life, Josie struggled with autoimmune disorders, severe food allergies, a debilitating eating disorder anorexia, alcoholism, ADD, and anxiety and depression. She was told by her medical doctors that each of her diagnoses was lifelong and that she just needed to manage them the best she could for the rest of her life. Josie felt crushed, like a lost cause and there was really no hope for her. She was only in her twenties – these were supposed to be the best years of her life. Fortunately, Josie was on a quest for answers and had a lightening bolt awareness- the emotional stress in her life had unknowingly created all of her illnesses. The good news was she could do something about her stress. From this shift in awareness, she knew she could change her relationship to stress. As she began to realize that her illnesses were in her control, in less than two months, all her symptoms dissolved and faded away. Seven years later, Josie is 100 percent healthy and no longer has any of her former conditions. “I feel fully alive not just surviving.” She is passionate and excited about sharing what saved her life with others.

Relationships are hard. Or.....do we just make them that way? If you're like me, you will read every book, listen to every TED talk and relate to every meme in an attempt to get your relationship where you want it to be. What if, just for a moment, we did something so extraordinary, so unthinkable and so "out there" that could change your luck in no time at all: what is we communicated? I know what you're thinking; "Marc, are you freaking crazy????? Talking and expressing our emotions in an empathetic and constructive way is sooooo hard. How do I even know how and when to start?" Well, you are in luck. Dr. Mahsa Hojat-Khoshniyat is a clinical social worker, therapist and founder and partner of Heal and Thrive Psychotherapy and Coaching.

When it comes to relationships, the health of the relationship, the mental health of each partner and the possibility to the relationship lasting, we would be foolish not to talk about SEX. Yes, that 3-letter word that everyone takes part but no one talks about. Until now. Today, I welcome Elena Zaharova and Anfisa Savchenko, co-founders of the Purpur app, to the show. At one point, Elena and Anfisa worked in the cosmetics industry. Together, they decided to leave the brand they had been working in to create their own sex product just before the pandemic started. First, they wanted it to be a store, but soon they realised that people had to stay together because of the lockdown and deal with misunderstandings so they wanted to help. Purpur is a sex & relationships app, which helps people communicate openly about their desires, worries and discuss sensitive topics of money, abortions, family planning, open relations, etc. The two women believe that open and honest communication is the key to strong healthy relationships. The app is set up as a card game with questions, which allows partners yo initiate open conversation on important topics and prevent conflicts. They believe that if more people used Purpur and discussed sensitive questions in the form of a game, there would be more love and understanding. Please support what they do by visiting their website and downloading the app. https://feelpurpur.app/ This show is brought to you by 6am Run & 6amrun.com: "6AM Run believes in improving everyone's physical ability to not only have motion, but STAY IN MOTION.

Coaches are important. Simple as that. Some of the best memories I have from my childhood include my former coaches. From my dad coaching my brother and me at 8 years old to my soccer coaches at Clemson - some of the most crucial life lessons I learned were from my coaches. As an adult, we can take this same approach when it comes to leadership and mentorship. Austin Wheeler does just that. He is a fitness professional that doesn't just stop there.

How do we recover from our past? How do we take the steps needed to prioritize our mental health, continue our personal journeys and make sure we are not just giving our time and energy to those around us, but also setting up our own support systems? All great questions and that is why I am speaking to Kinesiologist, Mentor, Archetypal Life Coach, Mother, and Author, Amanda Kate. Amanda describes herself as a "recovering people-pleaser and self-flagellator." However, the work she is doing now supports others in their journeys in self-care and healing. Her story is amazing and includes trauma, abuse, misdiagnoses, and so much more. Through all this, she has written her first book: Divine. Messy. Human. This book contains the tools and techniques she has discovered and used in her own healing to turn her life around. She has gone from being unwell, out of alignment and miserable to happiness, vitality and connection to the Divine.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope 2022 was amazing and I hope that 2023 will continue to bless you with success and fortune. Are you looking to make a change this year? Are you looking for that "passion project" that will not only fulfil a void in your life but also stimulate your mind? Well, if you have listened to this show in the past, you know how much I am against New Year's Resolutions. They are usually too big and put too much pressure on a person.

Her background includes working as a program manager at Microsoft, lead coach for Success Resources America, sales and marketing director for Crystal Clarity Publishers, yoga and fitness teacher trainer, fitness director, and ordained minister.

The mind-body connection is an extremely important part of the human experience. Within holistic healing, treating the underlying issues rather than just focusing on the symptoms is the key factor in the comprehensive approach to helping a person feel whole again. That is where my guest, Lyn Delmastro-Thomson, comes in. Lyn is a certified hypnotherapist and a mind-body medicine practitioner, using the healing systems of BodyTalk and Body Intuitive. She is also a speaker and author of the Amazon Best Seller, You Are Not Your Diagnosis. Lyn holds a master's degree in somatic psychology and has completed additional specialized training in biofeedback, therapeutic yoga, and Reiki. After being misdiagnosed with leukemia at the age of 25, Lyn became passionate about sharing with the world her message that just because a doctor has said an illness is "chronic" or "incurable" doesn't mean that it has to be a life sentence, and that western medicine isn't the only approach to healing. When we explore other holistic options, true healing, rather than symptom management, can occur. Through her one-on-one work with clients over the past ten years, Lyn has helped hundreds of women reclaim their lives and health after receiving a life-changing health diagnosis. Many of her clients have been able to decrease or eliminate certain prescription medications, as well as increase their energy and stamina.

It is always a good time when I have a rich and robust conversation with another man who has learned to be open and honest with his emotions and feelings.  Another dad and husband that is working hard every day to show his friends and family an authentic version of himself so he can lead an open and honest life.  That man is Tony Hardman.  Tony Hardman is the founder of Not Quite Zen, a blog and podcast focused on providing mental health support from the perspective of a survivor. Tony has struggled with severe depression, anxiety, and anger since he was a child. Cursed with a family history of mental health issues and early childhood trauma, finding a path to calm was a journey 35 years in the making. Now, he shares his experience through Not Quite Zen in hopes that he can help others learn how to get better faster.

What if I told you all the answers to every question you had about health and happiness? What if I was able to explain the ways we can all be successful in life, successful in fitness, better human beings and overall better at living the life we want to live? I think it is obvious I cannot do that, but if I could, the answers would probably be more simple than you expect. What if the answer to most of your fatigue or headaches was your salt intake? And when I say salt intake - I mean you're not getting enough. What if I say the reason you feel so run down is due to your poor gut health? Again, the answers to your questions might be right in front of your eyes. These are some of the reasons I wanted to have a discussion with Joel Evan. He is an Integrative Health Practitioner, health coach, podcast host and a new member of the 40 club. Joel helps his clients get to the root cause of their issues, whether it's weight loss, gut health, or even something more serious like autoimmune conditions, so that they can start living the best version of themselves. I should also mention that Joel is a ball of energy, loves what he does and is a Cali transplant living in the great state of Idaho.

One of the greatest things I learn from the guests on this show is all the ways we can help ourselves and help others. On this episode, I chat with Yoga Therapist, Annisa Hudak, on the ways she uses Yoga Therapy to guide others in the use of effective, science based methods and other holistic techniques for the management/healing of symptoms relating to PTSD and trauma for people who want to control their PTSD - not allow it to control them. Anissa's life has been intertwined with PTSD/Trauma and the military. Not only is she the daughter of a Vietnam Veteran, she was also married to an active duty member (and Iraq/Afghanistan Veteran) for over 20 years. For 3 years, she volunteered at the Warrior Transition Battalion at Fort Riley, Kansas providing yoga therapy, meditation, and other holistic treatments to the soldiers, family members, and staff. After seeing others struggle, and having her own personal struggles with trauma/PTSD, she was inspired to create the Trauma Healing Yoga Therapy Program.
 Recently, she has focused her efforts to working with women who have been sexually traumatized to help them heal their PTSD (and other trauma related issues) with yoga therapy. As a 2x rape survivor, she intimately understand the needs these women face, and help them navigate their healing journeys.

What does it mean to be a Man? Are we allowed to show weakness? Fear? Vulnerability? Can we utter the words, "I just don't have it today?" A lot of us think we can't say or do these things because that goes against everything we have been taught. That is why I wanted to speak to Keith. Keith Gilmore writes primarily on culture, ethics, psychology, spirituality, philosophy, and psychedelics. His interest lies in understanding and addressing the tendency of our age towards cynicism, nihilism, finger-pointing, and disconnection, and discovering and exploring methods for interconnection, healing, and reinvigorating culture with spirit. He is the co-founder of Texture Life Coaching, one of the top ranked psychedelic integration coaching programs in the country. Keith also co-created The Integrated Man, a community-oriented program for helping men get into alignment and reconnecting them with their purpose. He facilitates the men's support group for the Portland Psychedelic Society, the largest psychedelic community in North America.

In 1974, Dr. Herbert J. Freudenberger, a German-born American psychoanalyst, coined the term Burnout to describe symptoms of exhaustion and mental malaise. He delved into the underlying roots of burnout and outlined proven methods to alleviate the condition. Unfortunately, in 2022, some people still don't believe it exists. Some people will just complain that people aren't working hard enough or that they don't really understand the sacrifice it takes to be a valued employee. That is where my guest this week, Dr. Hollie Sturgeon, comes in. Dr. Sturgeon is an Orlando-based clinical pharmacist and author with over a decade of helping patients & colleagues overcome symptoms of burnout. She uses a combination of self-discovery and the science of play to guide people from burnout to baseline & beyond - one quest at a time. She is an experienced and compassionate guide for those on a recovery journey, having experienced and overcome burnout herself. Hollie's super power is helping people "cut through the noise" to get to the heart of a problem. Because she knows there is no one-size-fits-all cure for burnout, she advocates for honest self-reflection and discovery as the key to reclaiming one's pre-burnout self.

Two simple words Everyone Struggles. Easy to understand; hard to quantify. When we start to understand that everyone on this planet has their bad days - you know, those days when the dryer eats one of our favorite socks, those days when we leave the house 5 minutes early but somehow arrive 15 minutes late, those days when your dog ACTUALLY eats your homework - you know, just one of THOSE days. When we understand that regardless of your lease in life, you will struggle, it is then that people, especially leaders, can flex those empathy muscles and treat people with the respect and care they deserve. And that is where my guest this week comes in. Jason Hopcus is a motivator and catalyst for cultural change within organizations. He believes that connection to one's self, one's transparency and one's passion to connect, allows individuals to live a wholly authentic, full life. He creates systems of people working to deepen their relationships to their work, their play, and ultimately our world. He presently serves as non-profit President/CEO of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) of Arapahoe/Douglas Counties and is Founder of the Connection Project, a for-profit company. Jason's mission is to advance human connection by embracing the conversation of fighters; the folks whose journeys from black to light give hope to those that deserve a 2nd or even a 3rd chance to be the ambassadors of conversation. The present narrative about mental health is often perpetuated through sad, scary, or traumatic events, which typically overlooks individuals who are simply struggling with functional life issues. The Connection Project takes a fresh approach by focusing on those who have turned their personal struggle around to champion for a community-driven cause. Through the raw focus on the individual, Jason nourishes honest conversation to birth a system of ‘next level' social responsibility.

What do you really know about Schizophrenia? Have you used incorrectly in a sentence or phrase in your life? Do you just throw it out there to describe the mental state of your favorite movie or TV villian? Have you ever known anyone with the disease? Well, that is why I invited Matthew Dickson to be a guest on the show. Matthew led an average childhood, and during his university years, unbeknownst to him, he was developing schizophrenia. Now that he has lived with the disease for over 20 years, he is helping people with mental illness in developing countries so they can get access to basic mental health care. His organization, Mind Aid, steers people towards 7 nonprofits using these models of basic mental health care, which are low-cost, proven effective, and scalable. Some of these groups are promoted by Zak Williams (son of Robin Williams), Bill Clinton, Forest Whitaker (of "Star Wars"), Ashley Judd, and Tim Shriver (founder of the Special Olympics). Highlights of Matthew's inspirational story include bicycling across Canada and successfully recovering from schizophrenia.

Most of us only see the finished product when it comes to sports.  We don't see the physical toll that training plays on and athlete and we definitely don't see the mental toll that it plays.  That is why I wanted to speak to my guest this week, Chris K. Jones.  Chris is a recovering serial entrepreneur who quit at the peak of his career to honor the promise he made to himself at 19 that he would become a writer. Chris splits his time between Tarrytown, NY and Barbados, where he finds time to swim with turtles and observe cloud animals. Although he doesn't have children, his inner eight-year-old keeps him on his toes. He is an extrovert who has decided to work in the world's loneliest profession.  Writing his first novel, Headcase, has been the best form of therapy he has ever had. In the novel, Dr. Andrew Beck is the go-to sports psychologist for troubled pro athletes. There isn't a head he can't fix—except his own. When his inner demons get the best of him, he misuses his insider access to athletes in a wager, which leads him down a path of blackmail, murder, and life-or-death bluffing. His only way out is to go all-in.

When I recorded a show last season, I spoke candidly about being burnt out at work and feeling underappreciated. I was guilty of perpetually people pleasing and not setting appropriate boundaries for myself. It wasn't until I took control of my situation and reframed what my job meant to me that I was able to truly move forward in a productive and positive manner. Everyday people go to work and wonder if this will be the day that their final boundary is pushed back or the final straw is removed. Burnout is still a subject that employees and employers don't talk about often enough. According to a recent survey, 75% of workers have experienced burnout, with 40% saying they've experienced burnout specifically during the pandemic. That is why I invited Life Coach, Kara Regas, to speak to me about these issues. Kara is a certified coach and her mission in my life and practice is to help folks like her recognize where they're holding themselves back by letting go of people pleasing and setting healthy boundaries.

One of the biggest issues facing our children is bullying. A recent study found that 1 in 5 kids are the victims of bullying. That is why my guest, Dr. Nghi Dang, decided to write and illustrate the book series, The Adventures of Max and Friends, to assist kids and parents with talking about this important topic. The series follows Max as he navigates through school, friendships, bullying and trying to speak to his parents about it. Dr. Dang was born in Vietnam but grew up in Southern California. His family moved to the states when he was 7 years old. As an immigrant, he shared the same struggles as many other immigrants with adjusting to a new norm and dealing with bullying, discrimination, and constantly having to self-validate while fighting off depression. Having been in practice for over 10 years as a Family Physician, he realized that his struggles are shared by many of his patients.

For many people who have mental health difficulties and struggle to work, Social Security disability benefits can be an enormous help. However, getting those benefits can often present a big hurdle to overcome. That is where my guest, Spencer Bishins, comes in. Bishins recently published a book about the Social Security Disability Process called “Social Security Disability Revealed: Why it's so hard to access benefits and what you can do about it”. After working for the Social Security Administration for 10 years, writing and reviewing thousands of disability decisions, he wanted to make the process easier for claimants and their families. The SSA disability process is intentionally confusing and the deck is stacked against claimants at every step of the process, especially those claimants with mental health struggles. This is why he wrote a plain language book with the hope that everyone can understand. His book can be found at www.bishinspublishing.com and hopefully, reading this book will demystify the complicated system for applicants, advocates, and policy makers, so they can understand how to improve the delivery of these vital public benefits.
