Podcasts about Depression

Stigma loses its power when leaders tell the truth. In this episode, venture investor and Techstars co-founder Brad Feld shares why he went public about depression and OCD, how a 2013 crash led to a decade of deep therapy, and why aligning what you feel, say, and do is a leadership advantage. We talk about the “inappropriate anxiety spikes,” the trap of calling mental health a “superpower,” and the difference between passive and active avoidance. Brad also breaks down a simple dashboard for monitoring burnout, practical somatic cues to watch for, and clear guidance on when to hire a coach versus a therapist. Get ready to rethink performance, protect your team from collateral damage, and lead with courage, clarity, and real agency.

The collapse and bankruptcy of another private credit supported firm has generated significant losses this week. But as I pointed out last week with the shuttered UBS sponsored hedge funds, it isn't necessarily the amount of money being burned. It's what each of these cockroaches reveals, and how they add to the growing mistrust about the entire private credit shadow banking network. That's the real danger which could threaten to unravel a whole lot more than a few troubled firms. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis-------------------------------------------------------------------Get the free guide that breaks down the real economic signals behind America's shrinking consumer demand, and how to protect your wealth before the slowdown hits your income https://web.eurodollar-university.com/home-------------------------------------------------------------------Bloomberg BlackRock Faces 100% Loss on Private Loan, Adding to Credit Market Painhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-11-10/blackrock-eyes-100-loss-on-private-loan-amid-debate-over-marksBloomberg Why First Brands Has Sparked So Many Concerns on Wall Streethttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-11-10/why-first-brands-collapse-sparked-concerns-on-wall-streetBloomberg Car Loan Delinquencies Hit Record for Riskiest Borrowershttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-11-12/car-loan-delinquencies-hit-record-for-riskiest-borrowershttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU

Amy and Margaret discuss two new studies on boys and their lives online—in social media and gaming—and how today's digital culture shapes boys' mental health, relationships, and ideas about their bodies and about masculinity. We discuss why gaming fills social and emotional needs for many boys, why the time spent may be of more concern than the content, and how parents can stay involved without over-policing. You'll learn practical ways to become an “ask-able” parent, set boundaries, and how to know whether their time spent online is more harmful than helpful.

Fast food chain Wendy's said it's closing hundreds more US locations than previously announced because customers can't afford to eat there. It fits with what McDonalds US President said last week about how the entire industry is fighting for contracting traffic. It sounds practically Chinese talking about oversupply of cheap hamburgers and chicken nuggets. But as we know only too well from China's economy, it isn't too much production it is the lack of demand. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis-------------------------------------------------------------------Get the free guide that breaks down the real economic signals behind America's shrinking consumer demand, and how to protect your wealth before the slowdown hits your income https://web.eurodollar-university.com/home-------------------------------------------------------------------USA Today Wendy's to close roughly 300 stores nationwide starting in late 2025https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/11/07/wendys-closing-hundreds-stores-2025/87146469007/CNBC McDonald's U.S. boss puts focus on ‘value and affordability' as consumer spending splitshttps://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/06/mcdonalds-us-boss-memo-value-affordability.htmlBloomberg US Small-Business Optimism Dips to Six-Month Low on Earningshttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-11-11/us-small-business-optimism-slips-to-six-month-low-on-earningsBloomberg US Companies Shed Jobs in Late October, Weekly ADP Data Showhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-11-11/us-firms-shed-11-250-jobs-per-week-in-four-weeks-to-oct-25-adphttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU

When faith and mental health collide, many believers feel caught between shame and silence. In this episode of Faith Over Fear, Carol McCracken talks with Chris Morris, author of Resilient and Redeemed: Lessons about Suicidality and Depression from the Psych Ward. Chris shares his raw and redemptive story of battling depression, walking through a crisis of faith, and discovering that God’s grace meets us even in the darkest places. Together, they explore how to dismantle harmful theology, find freedom through honesty, and experience hope that outlasts despair. Resource Discussed: Resilient and Redeemed: Lessons about Suicidality and Depression from the Psych Ward Discussion/Reflective Questions: Chris talked about trying to “power through by sheer will” before realizing something had to change. When have you reached the end of your own strength and discovered the freedom of surrender? Many people tie their identity to productivity or performance. How has God been reshaping your understanding of worth apart from what you do? Chris described a “crisis of faith,” not a loss of faith. What’s the difference for you—and how have moments of doubt actually deepened your faith journey? What are some “theological traps” you’ve encountered—beliefs that sounded spiritual but actually created fear, guilt, or shame rather than freedom? Chris’s friends later asked, “Why didn’t you tell me?” Who in your life could you safely open up to about your struggles, and what would it take to start that conversation? Paul’s story of the “thorn in the flesh” reminded Chris that God’s grace is enough, even when healing looks different than we hoped. How does that truth speak to your current season of pain or waiting? What is one practical step God might be inviting you to take having listened to this podcast episode?

Send us a textContent Warning: This episode contains an in-depth discussion about suicide, depression, and grief that may be distressing for some listeners. Please listen with care.Host Lira Ndifon opens this powerful episode with an urgent and heartfelt call for awareness, shedding light on the political violence, military brutality, and internet shutdowns currently happening in her home country of Cameroon.From this space of global empathy, Lira sits down with Alicia Rupin, a first-generation American and successful floral designer, for one of the most personal conversations on the podcast to date. Alicia shares the raw and vulnerable story of the tragedy that reshaped her entire life: the loss of her beloved uncle to suicide. This is a must-listen masterclass in navigating profound grief, especially when it's shrouded in the silence and stigma that often surround suicide in many cultures.Alicia gets radically honest about the "what ifs" and the guilt that haunted her family, and the unique, personal coping mechanisms she used to heal—including keeping her uncle's phone number active for two years just so she could continue to text him. She offers a perspective that will change the way you think about loss, defining grief as "love that just has nowhere to go".This episode is a tender and powerful guide for anyone who has ever felt lost in their grief. You will discover:The Truth About Grief: How to understand your grief as a form of deep love and why you must "ride the wave" instead of running from it.Healing When There Are No Answers: A raw look at the complex emotions that follow a suicide and how to process them without shame.From Pain to Purpose: How Alicia channeled her depression and grief into her floral business, turning her uncle's motto—"It's cool to be kind"—into her brand's identity.Unique Coping Mechanisms: The power of finding your own way to heal, even if it seems unconventional to others (like texting a loved one who has passed).This conversation is a beautiful reminder that you are not alone in your struggle, that healing is not linear, and that our deepest pain can often be the source of our greatest purpose.If this episode touched your heart, please share it with someone who might be navigating their own waves of grief.

Dacia Moore, licensed counselor and founder of Second Wind Counseling & Consulting,  has dedicated her career to helping African Americans understand the benefits of therapy, take a proactive approach to mental wellness, and become their best selves. She's the author of Why Are So Many Students So Angry? and the forthcoming From Stuck to Unstoppable. In this episode, Dacia traces her mission back to her Jamaican mother, Dorothy, whose struggle with depression became a living picture of what it means to be "stuck." Watching Dorothy's pain - and her resilience - taught Dacia that staying stuck has a cost, and that faith, work ethic, and getting help are how we move again. We talk about recognizing when to ask for support and take a break, knowing when to let go and move on, navigating depression with compassion, and guiding our children with the hard-earned wisdom of our own experiences.

In this episode of The Sacred Speaks, host Dr. John W. Price sits down with pioneering therapist and author Terry Real, whose decades of work have redefined how we understand men, relationships, and emotional life. Nearly thirty years after the release of his groundbreaking book I Don't Want to Talk About It: Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression, Terry reflects on the evolution of men's inner worlds, the cultural forces that still shape them, and the courageous work required to heal. This conversation moves between the personal and the collective—between the suffering of individual men and the systems that taught them to suffer silently. Together, John and Terry explore how patriarchy has halved both men and women, severing men from their emotional lives, and how healing requires a return to connection, empathy, and embodied relational practice. Through heartfelt stories, clinical insight, and grounded wisdom, Terry calls us toward a new model of masculinity—one rooted not in dominance or disconnection but in courage, accountability, and love. This episode is an invitation to anyone longing to understand the hidden pain of men and the pathways toward relational wholeness. Key Themes -Male depression as a covert epidemic—often masked by addiction, anger, or withdrawal rather than sadness. -How patriarchy teaches men to fear vulnerability and equate worth with production, control, and performance. -The intergenerational inheritance of silence and shame between fathers and sons. -Why true intimacy depends on empathy, humility, and repair—not dominance or emotional avoidance. -The call for a new relational culture that honors interdependence and shared healing.

SummaryIn this episode of the Text Driven Podcast, Timothy Pigg and Carter Jurkovich discuss the concept of the Digital Church, exploring the differences between online engagement and true Christian fellowship. They emphasize the illusion of community created by social media and the importance of face-to-face interactions in bearing one another's burdens. The conversation highlights the need for incarnational ministry in addressing real problems faced by individuals in a digital age, ultimately advocating for a return to genuine, in-person connections within the church.TakeawaysThe Digital Church presents unique challenges and questions.Connection without communion leads to isolation.Social media creates an illusion of community.True community requires face-to-face interaction.Bearing burdens cannot be done effectively online.Incarnational ministry is essential for real relationships.Depression rates have increased despite digital connectivity.Throwing money at problems does not equate to community support.Real problems require real people to walk alongside us.Churches must prioritize in-person engagement to address needs.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Digital Church02:37 Connection vs. Communion06:39 The Illusion of Community12:28 Incarnational Ministry and Real Problems

We all want the dream body, but almost none of us want to slow down long enough to build the base it actually requires. In today's episode, I'm sharing one of the most important lessons I've learned as both a coach and a client: you can't build a strong, sustainable body without a strong foundation.  I use the analogy of building a dream home because just like a house needs a solid foundation before the walls go up, your body needs metabolic stability and healthy habits before you layer on intense training or dieting.  Most of us try to skip this part because we're in a hurry to see results.  I get it. I used to be the impatient one who wanted the plan, the strategy, and the visible progress right away. But rushing your transformation is the fastest way to end up starting over again and again.  In this episode, I break down what the “foundation phase” actually looks like, including how we assess metabolism using SHREDS and why stabilizing sleep, hunger cues, digestion, energy, stress, and recovery is non-negotiable.  I share why this phase can feel slow and why that slow work is what makes everything that comes after actually stick. I also walk through the three phases of a healthy nutrition journey and how to know which phase you're truly ready for.  This is about building a body that can handle real life. Vacations, busy seasons, holidays, stress, and everything in between. When your foundation is strong, you don't fall apart when your routine changes. You adapt and you bounce back.  If you've been feeling frustrated with slow progress, this episode may be the reframe you needed. Take a breath — you might just be pouring the concrete.  Time Stamps: (2:57) Next Stage of Homeownership (4:34) Building The Foundation (7:27) When I First Started My Fitness Journey (12:42) The Metabolic Assessment (19:42) Building The Walls Next (20:27) Vital Spark's 3 Phases (28:02) Please Share and Review---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Your brain is ancient, but your world is not. We unpack how a hunter-gatherer reward system runs into modern dopamine superstimuli—engineered foods, infinite feeds, one-click buys, and potent drugs—and why that mismatch can spiral into addiction. Using clear language and vivid examples, we explain cravings, compulsion, and consequences through the lens of dopamine: how normal rewards help us survive, how substances hijack that circuitry, and how constant notifications keep the throttle stuck open.We go deeper into the factors that raise or lower risk. Genetics account for roughly half of vulnerability and often determine a “drug of choice,” where one person feels sick from alcohol while another feels energized and social. Then we connect the dots between mental health and substance use. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD frequently overlap with addiction, and treating one without the other rarely works. The ACEs research shows how chronic childhood stress reshapes the brain and the body, setting the stage for later disease. PTSD flips fight-or-flight on at the wrong time, and many people reach for alcohol or cannabis to blunt nightmares and panic, only to worsen the cycle.Timing is pivotal. Teen brains run on lower baseline dopamine yet respond fiercely to novelty, making early use more rewarding and more dangerous. We share practical insights about delaying use, protecting brain development, and building real skills for stress, sleep, and conflict. A candid case study ties it together: a young adult mixing alcohol and cocaine, a missed PTSD diagnosis, and a turning point when care shifts to trauma therapy and targeted medications. The takeaway is hopeful and clear—when we treat the pain beneath the substance and rebuild healthy rewards, recovery becomes possible and durable.If this conversation helped you see addiction more clearly, subscribe, share the episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

Chronic stress triggers a neutrophil invasion into brain-protective layers, driving depression-like behaviors through immune activation rather than just hormonal changes Stress-induced immune signals hijack brain reward circuits, reducing dopamine and shifting neural activity toward threat detection over pleasure-seeking behaviors Prolonged stress damages brain mitochondria, reducing cellular energy production while creating an inflammatory feedback loop that worsens mood and cognitive function Interferon pathways and inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 cross into the brain, directly altering neuron firing patterns in emotional regulation centers Natural interventions including healthy carbohydrates, regular exercise, positive thinking, creativity, and physical touch help counter stress-induced immune activation and protect mental health

UBS is reportedly closing down not one but two hedge funds, in a more that raises a lot of questions but also some very uncomfortable parallels to 2007. One of those funds is exposed to First Brands, so understandable. The other...isn't. And that raises the prospect of the R-word; in this case, that does not stand for recession, rather its uglier monetary twin. Bloomberg UBS Winds Down O'Connor Funds in Sign of First Brands Strainhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-11-06/ubs-to-wind-down-o-connor-funds-with-first-brands-exposureNYT $3.2 Billion Move by Bear Stearns to Rescue Fundhttps://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/23/business/23bond.htmlhttps://eurodollar.university

Dr. K sits down with Dr. Zac Seidler for an unfiltered discussion about the modern male crisis like how societal expectations around strength, success, and emotional restraint are leaving men isolated, angry, and quietly collapsing inside. Together they unpack how men are taught to earn love through performance, how shame hides under humor and burnout, and why mental health systems often fail to reach them. In the second half, Dr. K explores deeper layers of male identity: how purpose collapses when external validation fades, the spiritual hunger behind modern depression, and how men can rebuild meaning through discipline, vulnerability, and connection. This is one of the most nuanced conversations yet about what's really happening beneath the “men's mental health” crisis. Topics include: The hidden link between masculinity, depression, and social isolation How humor, anger, and overwork mask emotional pain Why traditional therapy often misses how men communicate distress The collapse of meaning and identity in modern male life Dr. K's framework for purpose and inner alignment Building connection without losing strength or autonomy What real progress for men's mental health should look like today HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3Szt HG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

Financial journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin sits down with Margaret Hoover to talk about his new book, “1929,” and what the lessons of the Great Depression mean for the economy today.Sorkin, a CNBC anchor and New York Times columnist, discusses the bankers and policymakers at the center of the crash and the recovery, including Presidents Herbert Hoover and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He explains how Democrats worked to undermine Hoover's reputation even before the crash and how a negative propaganda campaign–and Hoover's refusal to engage with it–helped a false narrative about his response to the crisis take hold.Sorkin, who also wrote “Too Big to Fail” about the 2008 financial crisis, reflects on similarities between the two events and what the next economic crash might look like. Support for Firing Line with Margaret Hoover is provided by Robert Granieri, The Tepper Foundation, Vanessa and Henry Cornell, The Fairweather Foundation, and Pritzker Military Foundation.

The most October job cuts in over twenty years. More than October 2008, if you're keeping score. While that doesn't mean this is a repeat of 2008, can we all finally admit this is a really serious situation? And as the flat Beveridge curve emerges more clearly, the rising unemployment it represents is also causing collateral damage, pun intended. The New York Fed said yesterday auto, credit card and student loan delinquencies hit levels, well you'll have to see.  Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.
