Podcast appearances and mentions of courtney calkins

Robert Delude is the host of the None of Your Business Podcast, where he talks to his entrepreneurial guests about anything but their business (you can check out an earful I gave him about my own personal struggles and successes in an upcoming episode), but today, I flip the script on him to get him to talk about why he is so focused on helping others climb out of dark places in life. He shares his story of a chaotic childhood where he didn't think he fit in.  It was only when he first got high at 12 yrs old that he felt better.  This need to detach from his insecurities became a need to get high.  This quickly turned into a decade of selling drugs, toxic relationships and hiding his true self from anyone he knew. It was only when an older friend who got recovery took him under his wing was he really able to stay on a path through recovery. He is now forging ahead, feeling more confident, working on himself, fleeing from people who tap into his codependency or ignite his self-sabotaging.  His story isn't finished, but it's an inspiration as to what can happen and how good life can be when you start to fight the dark emotions, keep sticking with what you know works, and allow others to care about you. You can hear Robert bring other people's stories of success to life on the None of Your Business Podcast on Apple Podcasts and anywhere else you love to listen!  You can find Robert on the socials:IG: NoneofYourBusinessPodcastFacebook: RobertCDeLude If you happen to be struggling with addiction, here are a couple of FREE  nationwide resources:Alcoholics Anonymous Narcotics AnonymousSmart RecoveryThe Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Servicesor Call 211 in your area to find local resources - rehabs, therapists, free groups and other outreach services.  If you're struggling, help is available. *************************************************If you are enjoying The Coaching Through Chaos Podcast, and you want to stay connected and want to chat about the episode, just follow me at on Facebook  , Instagram  or Twitter. Check out what I've got for you over at Patreon.com/CoachingThroughChaosPodcast.

Anxiety, lonliness, anger, reactivity, sadness, loss, grief, confusion, fear - these are all emotions you may be feeling as you go through life under the pandemic restrictions.  This crisis has resulted in a collective trauma - we are all in this together and we are all affected by it in one way or another.  In my practice over the last month, I saw a defined uptick in a resurgence of my client's trauma symptoms from earlier in their lives.  I decided to do a special episode to help those in need understand this current situation through the lens of it as a trauma. I called in colleague, Dr. Reef Karim. Dr. Karim is a well-known neuroscientist, mental health physician and personal development expert.  You may know Dr Reef from his many appearances on Cnn, Oprah and other media outlets.  He now has a special offering to help you emotional survive this crisis - you can find his guidebook at The Crisis Manual.  On the next CTC episode, we focus on all the details of why you will want to get a copy for yourself! In this episode, Reef and I discuss:How trauma affects the brain and bodyHow false or exaggerated symptoms may present Key factors in building resilienceWe also cover these coping strategies (Im leaving as-is in the show notes, so that you have this as a reference if you should need it:1. STAY CONNECTED Social distancing is NOT Emotional Distancing – reach out to others. Family/friends.  If you were not well-connected socially before, this may feel ultra isolated– find an online group for something you enjoy or an actual support group. This is also the time to actually call and talk or skype or facetime someone.  If you’re feeling lonely, you can bet people you know are too.  They will appreciate the connection2. GET FRESH AIR EVERYDAY The best thing about this is that it happened in the spring, so most every part of the country has pleasant temperatures.  Fresh air and Sunlight help us feel refreshed, energized and can help our mood.  Moving our bodies is important more now than ever because it’s easy to get out of bed, get on the couch and never leave until you go to be again. Your body needs to move and you need to breath fresh air.3. CHALLENGE YOUR THOUGHTS For every time a person says- “This is hopeless”, there will be a story demonstrating a person who has overcome the illness. “I have nothing to do” – When’s the last time you called someone/organized your bathroom closet/planted a new flower pot? There are things to do. The point is that your brain will want to tell you things that keep you feeling discouraged/helpless/hopeless – there is always evidence to the contrary. 4. Get CREATIVE Amazon and all the other major stores are still delivering- now’s the time to tap into that hobby you’ve been putting off.  Maybe youre not particularly artistic or musically inclined.  It’s a great time to build something, tackle a home project you’ve been putting off, get crafty…. Maybe learning something new is how you get creative. Take an online course, learn a new language. Write, blog, craft, ……5. DISCONNECT FROM THE NEWS AND SOCIAL MEDIA  limit the time you watch…..turn the tv off….take 24 hours off the phone /news…..nothing is changing in 24 hours that you cant find out when you turn it back on6. TALK ABOUT IT AND KNOW WHEN TO TAKE A BREAK FROM TALKING ABOUT IT – whichever you need! If you haven’t been talking about how you’re feeling in this and just keeping a fine face, but going stir-crazy inside – its ok to call a friend and let them know you just wat to talk it through.  On the contrary – if every communication you have with everyone is about the virus and you’ve been on overload with the news, plan a virtual social hour with a friend with a rule that there is no talking about the virus – You will inevitably talk about things that remind you of your normal life – what you’ve been watching on Netflix, the puzzle you’ve been working on, the funny thing your kid said the other day.  Most importantly, this reminds you that there are normal experiences that are still happening all around you. HOW YOU CAN HELP OTHERSCALL SOMEONE YOU SUSPECT MIGHT BE ISOLATED AND FEELING LONELYOFFER TO PICK UP GROCERIES FOR ELDERLY OR AT RISK FRIENDS/NEIGHBORSSUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN TEMPORARLY SHUTDOWN.

Courtney Calkins, the man, the myth, the legend from the Quadcast Podcast joins me today for a discussion on being an authentic host. It's what attracts us as listeners, and it's what will attract listeners to you as a podcast host. Bring the energy! We also discuss methods to prevent "Pod Fading" and social media tactics in building your audience. I'll give you a hint, be social! Never stop learning or trying to master your craft. Courtney talks about bragging when he first started that he never edited his show. Over the course of producing his shows, he's taught himself how to create smooth transitions, and segment bumpers. He loves placing music beds through out the course of an episode. His show has become highly produced. I think it's an aural work of art. Podcasting is one of the few forms of entertainment where you can not only build relationships but form solid friendships! If you're producing your podcast, I'm sure you're hoping to be able to give something to the listener, but if you allow it, the listener will give something back. Podcasting can be a fun filled personal journey of discovery. It can be therapeutic. Be transparent and honest with your audience. You'll be a better host, and you'll have a better show because of it. Courtney is a self taught indie podcaster with the production value of an NPR show, but with the energy of an afternoon morning show! It's talk radio at it's finest. It's a podcast about the podcaster. I for one think it deserves a subscription on your playlist! iTunes:https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/quadcast-podcast/id942359443?mt=2 Also in this show, I begin production...errrrr...construction on the new Monkey Poo Studios project! More information to come in the coming weeks. Keep listening....and keep podcasting! -Angry Ginger

In this episode, The Angry Ginger is joined by fellow podcaster and friend Courtney Calkins. A Marriage/Family Therapist by trade, we talk a bit about how to divorce in a more healthy way. Ginger visits a lawyer and finds out luck is not on his side. We also play a tape from Courtney's past which helps us to discuss parenting. Do we parent like our parents? More strict, or do we allow a house that's just lawless? What kind of traits did we pick up from our parents? When is it okay to just pay "The Guy"? All this and so much more!

Shrink2Shrink podcast – Like Siskel & Ebert, with a psychological twist!     On this episode of @Shrink2Shrink we psychologically dismantle the 2015 movie Creed.  Here, our 2 shrinks Dr. Colleen Mullen https://twitter.com/DrColleenMullen and Courtney Calkins https://twitter.com/QuadFatherMft  discuss themes from the movie and explore what we can learn for our own lives using the themes of the film: family ties, what makes a family, and how Adonis Creed makes sense of being born to the incredible Apollo Creed – he never knew his father, but he has the same passion for boxing as his father.  We also explore how living with a legend in the family can be something that can open doors for us, but can also be something we want to keep hidden. Then, we get to reminisce about our love for the icon of Rocky Balboa as a cultural icon and the spark that the stories ignite in each one of us and why.  What is it about his achievements, his love of both boxing and Adrian (“Yo, Adrian!”) that inspire us?  Listen in as we examine love, relationships, loneliness, overcoming obstacles, resiliency and following your passions.   Next Shrink2Shrink podcast will examine the movie Zootopia   For more episodes and information: http://shrink2shrink.com/   Dr. Colleen Mullen’s other podcast, Coaching Through Chaos: http://coachingthroughchaos.com/   Courtney Calkins’ other podcast: http://quadfathermft.com/   All shows are available on a multitude of podcasting platforms.   CREED MOVIE 2015 - how to watch: https://www.amazon.com/s?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Creed&ref_=imdbref_tt_msg_ov&tag=imdbtag_tt_msg_ov-20   CREED Soundtrack: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Creed+Soundtrack&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3ACreed+Soundtrack  

Courtney Calkins sits in to discuss this week in MORE Broadcasting. Courtney comes prepared with his own clips and expertise in child rearing. This is a very "punny" show thanks to the TMOS Bonus Show. Lots of stories from Rob and Joe's childhood that may have you questioning "Gramps" parenting, but can you debate what Robb has said to Julia? Will Durst guests on the Tony Perkins Show helping to add more jokes to this political season. Lastly a tip: Make the bed or get out. Next week, Mike O'Meara will be on the show!

How many awkward moments can there be in one week? Or, maybe it is not awkward but it's just uncomfortable. Courtney Calkins is back on the show to discuss his call from The Mike O'Meara Show. Robby and Joe blow up on The Rob and Joe Show while Marcus and Rob sit back quietly listening to the fireworks. Tony Perkins lands a big fish with Berry Gordy, but is his mic turned off? How about some stupid gift ideas? Gary will share a few on the Tony Perkins Show. But, let's never forget Katie in the kitchen.... oh, yes.... Katie in the kitchen. Back away slowly.

Infamous TMOS nudge Courtney Calkins guest hosts this week’s O’MearaCast with his buddy Mark Swanson.  In a week which twice had Oscar and Robb forging ahead without Mike, the laughs were still plentiful.  Little Michael joins this show and tells everyone how to make this the best Christmas ever for TMOS. The Rob and Joe show plows ahead without Robby as they examine comedy and TV shows. The Tony Perkins show has a wine tasting party with RoFo’s mom. And it is not an O’MearaCast without a visit from the TMOS spokesmodel Steve Mermelstein.

It's drama week on MORE Broadcasting, but more specifically, The Mike O'Meara Show. Now, we don't want to focus too much on it, but it has to be discuss from the the real moments to the funny ones. Courtney Calkins appears to be a new "character" on the show. We hear some behind the curtain activities about WJFK toward the end of the Don and Mike Show. Hear what Oscar loves and hates. Tommy Sinbazo kills it on The Rob and Joe Show. Rob is trying to use Tommy as an example  to not make a commitment. There is drama with Restivo and Rob has to pick sides between Chris Restivo and Joe Robinson. Who comes out on top? This is more on this week's show. Thanks for listening.
