Podcasts about everyday bravery

In this episode of Thought Leadership Leverage, host Bill Sherman sits down with Constance Scharff, PhD, a trailblazer in the field of mental health research. Constance is the founder of the Institute for Complementary and Indigenous Mental Health Research and author of an upcoming book on "Everyday Bravery." Everyday bravery isn't about heroic acts like running into burning buildings. Constance redefines it as the courage found in everyday life—like battling addiction, where survival alone is an act of immense bravery. Having been sober for 26 years herself, Constance knows this firsthand. Her research reveals the quiet yet powerful ways people confront challenges and carry themselves with dignity, even in the face of overwhelming odds. Constance aims to make her research accessible to everyone, choosing to write books instead of academic papers. She believes mental health research should be available to the public, especially in the U.S., where affordable care is scarce. By blending memoir with academic research, she offers a personal and relatable perspective on the complex issues she studies. Her journey into the field started 15 years ago at the intersection of addiction and trauma. A tragic loss drove her to explore the courage it takes to keep fighting against addiction. Her research took her across the globe—from New York's Stonewall Inn to the jungles of Ecuador—uncovering stories of resilience and bravery in unexpected places. Constance hopes her work will inspire others to see that recovery and resilience are possible, even against all odds. She challenges the over-pathologization of mental health in Western culture and advocates for a broader, more inclusive approach to mental well-being. Three Key Takeaways: • Redefining Everyday Bravery: Everyday bravery isn't about grand heroic acts but the quiet courage found in overcoming daily challenges, like battling addiction or navigating trauma with dignity. • Making Mental Health Research Accessible: Constance Scharff prioritizes writing books over academic papers to make complex mental health research accessible to the public, especially in a landscape where affordable care is limited. • Global Perspective on Mental Health: Her research highlights the resilience found in diverse cultures worldwide, challenging the Western focus on pharmaceuticals and advocating for a more inclusive approach to mental health treatment. Constance has an impactful blend of research and storytelling that she uses to spread her thought leadership.  If you'd like to understand how Academic Research can be used to build your thought leadership platform be sure to watch this short video with Peter Winick.

In the midst of this quest for courage, a unique and powerful concept emerges: gutsy mindfulness.   Whitney's guest today, Dr. Leah Katz, incorporates mindfulness techniques and an emphasis on gratitude and compassion throughout her psychology work. She argues one key factor that might be standing in between women and creating a more inspired and meaningful life is courage.   In a discussion of Dr. Katz's book, “Gutsy: Mindfulness Practices for Everyday Bravery,” they explore why it's brave to leverage mindfulness to help access our dreams and design a more vibrant life.   Here's what to look forward to in today's episode   How we make sustainable change Why is being quiet so uncomfortable Unconscious excuses and their purpose - Tricky little suckers Learning the balance between discipline and self-compassion so we don't lose our way The self-help book and reflection question that truly changed Dr. Katz Mindfulness tools you can incorporate today Dr. Katz's science-based triangle of wellness It wasn't ok.

So it's like, how are we supposed to succeed at this and be happy.” “What we do as men many times is we're not able to give our wives what they need. They need to know from us. It is their relational oxygen. They need to know what's going on with us on the inside. They need to know our hopes, dreams, feelings, and emotions.”  “Your marriage is infinitely more important than any job or hobby.” “All relationships are a risk, but they are never a waste.”  “True wealth is in relationships.” “Success is getting up one more time than I fall down.” “Science shows we raise good kids through modeling … If you carve out a life for yourself and you're committed to finding your own joy and contentment, there's a good chance that you're going to raise kids who will value the same thing.” BOOKS MENTIONED: Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't by Simon Sinek (https://tinyurl.com/LeadersEatLastBookSS) Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens (https://tinyurl.com/WhereTheCrawdadsSingBookDO) No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model by Richard Schwartz, Ph.D. (https://tinyurl.com/NoBadPartsBook) USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.drleahkatz.com  https://www.instagram.com/dr.leahkatz/ https://www.facebook.com/Dr.LeahKatz/ https://twitter.com/drleahkatz  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6hyYE80BOn-Lt7PxhRPwVQ https://tinyurl.com/GutsyBook  CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com     Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen     Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen     Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen     LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA     EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/ 

Having a strained relationship with religion is not new for a lot of people, especially those that come from an Orthodox background. In this episode, Matana and Dr. Leah Katz, a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with teenagers and adults, talks with us about the role of mindfulness in breaking free from the traditions and expectations that keep us from living an authentic life and the journey towards living your authentic self and dealing with the obstacles that come with it. They also tackle the difference between spirituality and religion, and how mindfulness helps in redefining our approach to religion, traditional beliefs, and God.Mindfulness is treating ourselves with compassion, and only then can we start healing and making peace with living our true selves. In the end, bravery is removing the distractions and instead opening ourselves up, taking a pause, and confronting our pains.Dr. Leah is a clinical psychologist working in private practice in Portland, Oregon.
