In this essential solo episode, Dr. Marianne challenges the narrow and harmful narrative that eating disorders primarily affect girls and women. She explores how toxic masculinity shapes, and often hides, disordered eating and body shame in boys and men. Backed by recent research, this episode unpacks how muscle dysmorphia, bingeing, and restriction are frequently dismissed as “normal” male behaviors, even when they reflect deep emotional pain. Dr. Marianne offers a liberation-focused framework for understanding the unique barriers boys and men face in getting help, and how we can dismantle the systems that reinforce silence, shame, and suffering. CONTENT CAUTION:This episode includes discussion of eating disorder behaviors, muscle dysmorphia, trauma, and toxic masculinity. Please take care while listening. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: How toxic masculinity discourages emotional expression and reinforces disordered eating Why boys and men with eating disorders are often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed What muscle dysmorphia is and how it manifests in teen boys and adult men How social media trends like “looksmaxxing” fuel body obsession and psychological distress The role of trauma, emotional suppression, and performance culture in male ED experiences How clinicians, caregivers, and educators can support male-identified folks through a liberationist lens What affirming, emotionally honest healing can look like outside of gendered expectations LISTEN TO OTHER EPISODES ABOUT MEN, MUSCULARITY, & EATING DISORDERS: Men, Muscularity, Exercise, & Eating Disorder Stigmas with George Mycock, MSc @myo_minds on Apple & Spotify.

Growing up with a mom struggling with severe mental illness, Karena Dawn learned early what it meant to carry heavy things in silence. That experience shaped so much of her life—including the dark years she rarely talked about. In this episode, she shares her journey from that painful silence to healing, forgiveness, and ultimately, purpose. We talk about how fitness became her lifeline and how she found her voice by telling the truth in her powerful memoir, The Big Silence. You may know Karena as the co-founder of Tone It Up, a wellness community that's inspired millions of women—but behind the fitness empire is a woman who's walked through deep grief, trauma, and recovery. She shares what it was like to care for her mom after a stroke, how she's working to break the stigma around mental illness, and why mental wellness is now at the heart of everything she does—including her work with The Big Silence Foundation and the board of NAMI. She opens up about how trauma can sneak into our health—especially during perimenopause—and the things that actually helped her feel like herself again. You'll also hear how she's now using her story to help others speak up and get the support they need. Her honesty is refreshing, and her heart for mental wellness is contagious. This one will move you, especially if you've ever carried pain quietly or felt like healing was out of reach. Karena's story reminds us that there's always a way forward—and it doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful.

I am honored to connect with Eamon Dolan today. Eamon is a book editor and is currently the Vice President and Executive Editor at Simon and Schuster. In our conversation, we discuss Eamon's book, The Power of Parting, where he explores the often-overlooked realities of abuse, shedding light on the lack of education and understanding of various types of abuse, including physical, sexual, psychological, and neglect. We explore the effects of shame, the silent conspiracy that surrounds abuse, and ways in which neuroplasticity and intentional parenting can help break generational cycles. We examine the effects of complex PTSD, adverse childhood experiences, and the connection between early trauma and physical ailments like autoimmune disorders, reproductive challenges, and digestive issues. We also reflect on our roles in childhood, how abuse shapes the developing brain, the dangers of gaslighting, and the traits of narcissistic personality disorder. In this candid and personal conversation, I share my childhood and what I witnessed while growing up with Eamon, hoping to offer clarity, comfort, and a sense of connection to anyone facing similar challenges. The Power of Parting is an essential read, particularly for those of us navigating the lasting effects of childhood abuse. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: The culture of silence surrounding abuse has led to many cases going unheard and unreported  Neurological and psychological effects of abuse Humans are wired to form family bonds with strangers. How abusive and chaotic environments often become normalized for those living within them Why survivors of abuse need to reframe their family relationships Statistics on abuse survivors and the likelihood of breaking abuse cycles Traumatic stress disorder vs.PTSD? Gaslighting is not benign. How abused children tend to rationalize mistreatment, believing it comes from love Holding family members to the same standards as friends Breaking free from toxic relationships Bio: Eamon Dolan has worked as an editor at HarperCollins, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and Penguin Press.

Emerging alongside Joseph McCarthy's Red Scare in the 1950s was the Lavender Scare: Widespread panic and paranoia over the inclusion of gay personnel in the federal government. Their perceived dangers led to the terminations and forced resignations of thousands. Fast forward to 1988 – Tracey Ballard, who worked at the CIA, headed in to take a polygraph exam. Not sure what would happen next, she did something no one else ever had – She told her polygrapher, ‘I'm a lesbian.' Trace became the first openly gay CIA employee, and spent the next decade of her career fighting for inclusion, acceptance, and kindness within the agency. Her story highlights the critical importance of diversity, and the beauty in recognizing the things that make us different as well as the shared values that bring us all together.

So many of us are silently struggling- navigating parenting, trauma, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm while pretending we're fine. But silence doesn't heal. In this episode of Mom Essentials, I'm joined by Kelli Melissa Reinhardt, founder of Make Mental Health Matter, to talk about breaking the silence surrounding mental health, grief, and the emotional burdens we carry as parents. Kelli shares her personal journey through trauma, the loss of her sister to suicide, and the moment she realized that talking about it could save lives. We explore the difference between survival and thriving, how to recognize when your coping mechanisms aren't healthy anymore, and what it looks like to raise emotionally aware children- especially when you're still learning to care for your own mental health.

In this powerful episode, I shatter the silence surrounding men's mental health. Too often, the struggles of men are overlooked, hidden behind outdated ideas of toughness and stoicism. But today, I am saying enough is enough. Join me as I dive deep into real stories, raw emotions, and the barriers men face when reaching out for help. I will explore why vulnerability is a sign of strength, not weakness, and how breaking the stigma can save lives.This is more than a conversation—it's a movement. Let's make sure the world remembers us not just for our battles, but for our courage to speak up, support each other, and heal together. Tune in, share your story, and help rewrite what it means to be a man. Remember us as men—because our mental health matters.

Send us a textWhat happens when the strongest among us need support? In this powerful conversation, Elizabeth Ecklund takes us on an extraordinary journey from fighting fires in Antarctica to fighting stigma in mental health. As someone with 15 years of experience spanning firefighting, emergency medical services, and nursing, Elizabeth brings a rare perspective to the critical conversation about first responder mental health.The stigma surrounding mental health in emergency services creates a dangerous paradox: those who routinely face trauma are often the least likely to seek help. Elizabeth articulates this challenge with striking clarity, drawing from her own experiences to illuminate why cultural competency matters so deeply when providing therapy to first responders. "They don't know how to deal with their grief," she explains, highlighting how traditional coping mechanisms within emergency services—dark humor, emotional detachment, peer discussions—often fall short of addressing cumulative trauma.Her adventures at the South Pole provide not just fascinating stories—from living with three twenty-somethings in cramped quarters to experiencing oxygen saturation levels of 82% at 12,000 feet elevation—but metaphors for resilience in extreme conditions. Like the South Pole's challenging environment, the mental landscape of emergency work requires specialized knowledge and adaptation strategies that standard approaches may miss.Through MindForge Therapy Group, Elizabeth has created a sanctuary where first responders can speak freely without fear of judgment or misunderstanding. Her approach acknowledges the unique needs of this population, incorporating humor and practical interventions that "don't feel like therapy." Most importantly, she recognizes that addressing these mental health needs impacts not just individual well-being but team safety, family relationships, and ultimately, the communities these heroes serve.Whether you're a first responder seeking understanding, a mental health professional wanting to better serve this population, or simply someone fascinated by human resilience in extraordinary circumstances, this conversation offers valuable insights into bridging the gap between emergency services and effective mental health support.

Why are so many families breaking apart—and is social media making it even harder to heal?         Across America, parent-child estrangement is on the rise, with nearly one in four adults now cut off from a close family member. Laura, a single mom known online as "Doormat Mom," shares how her youngest daughter walked away after building a new life overseas. Kristen, a licensed therapist, explains why she chose to go "no contact" with her own mother—and why she believes not every relationship should be saved. April, a mother of four, opens up about losing her daughter to a cycle of hurt she says started long before her time, while her mother, Karen, says the blame being thrown at her is both unfair and incomplete. Dr. Phil breaks down the shifting cultural norms, the toxic messages spreading on social media, and the hard conversations families must have if they want to find their way home again.
