Stand-up comedian and writer Josh Johnson returns to Money Rehab nearly two years after his first time on the show. Since then, he has become a hosting correspondent on The Daily Show, reached millions of followers on socials and continued to post a new stand up set to YouTube (he's done this for 156 consecutive weeks). He talks about how he's avoided lifestyle creep as his career has flourished, the best money advice he's received, and why being broke is like drowning in a swimming pool.     Then, Nicole gets Josh's take on some of the strangest recent money headlines, including a woman who reportedly saved $15,000 on groceries by going on dates, Victoria's Secret stock jumping 48% after changing its ticker to “VSXY,” and why taxes are apparently making Gen Z cry.

Andy Stumpf is a retired Navy SEAL, world-record-holding wingsuit BASE jumper, martial artist, and author. We discuss the mental framework and moment-to-moment decision-making process that can allow anyone to build discipline and resilience and better navigate both everyday life and life's most challenging moments. Andy explains several simple-yet-powerful tools gleaned from his time in — and after — his SEAL career that can help you determine where to focus your actions and how to clear your mind of things you can't control or that hold you back mentally. Andy also shares and reflects on lessons learned from some of the deeply personal challenges he faced outside of combat and freefall. Finally, we explore the all-too-frequent tragedy of people — including high performers — taking their own lives, and consider what might be done to prevent more such losses.

Good Enough, Safe Enough: Affirming LGBTQ+ Clients When You're Not a Specialist Affirming LGBTQ+ clients when you are not a specialist: Curt Widhalm, LMFT, and Katie Vernoy, LMFT on being a good enough, safe enough therapist when you cannot refer out. Curt and Katie take on a question therapists often avoid: what do you do when an LGBTQ+ client needs care, you are not a specialist, and referring out is not possible, not safe, or not honest? In this Pride Month episode, they make the case that you can be a good enough, safe enough therapist for LGBTQ+ clients even when affirming care is not your declared specialty. Mental health deserts, narrow insurance panels, long specialist wait lists, and unsafe home environments mean referral is not always available, and sometimes referring out is closer to abandonment than care. Curt and Katie argue that scope of competence is too often used as polite cover for therapist discomfort, and that most clinical work with LGBTQ+ clients is the same work you already do well. Affirming care is the container, not a separate specialty. They also get practical about being a safe enough stopgap therapist: building a just in time consultation kit, doing the cultural humility work, and reckoning with the invisible labor and consultation tax of allyship, including why you should never bill a client to research their own identity. And they name the specific moments when referring an LGBTQ+ client out is still the right and ethical call. This is a useful conversation for generalist therapists, rural and solo clinicians, insurance-based practices, and anyone doing the ongoing work of affirming, culturally humble care. In this episode, we discuss: - Why "refer out" can be avoidance dressed as ethics, and when it is genuinely the right call - How to tell a true scope of competence limit from your own discomfort - What it means to be a good enough, safe enough therapist for LGBTQ+ clients - How to build a just in time kit so an LGBTQ+ client never lands on you cold - Why the invisible labor and consultation tax of allyship is yours to carry, not your client's to fund - The specific signs that mean you should refer out anyway Timestamps: 00:15 - Why a Pride Month episode on being good enough, not a specialist 02:56 - "Just refer out": sound advice or avoidance? 05:05 - Scope of competence versus therapist discomfort 13:08 - The good enough therapist, and when referral becomes abandonment 16:55 - Meeting clients where they are until specialist care opens up 19:03 - Building a just in time kit for your practice 24:44 - The invisible labor and consultation tax of allyship 32:10 - When you should refer out anyway Full show notes and transcript: mtsgpodcast.com Join the Modern Therapist Community Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mtsgpodcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits Voice Over by DW McCann: https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano: https://groomsymusic.com/

Five years is a long time to stay committed to anything. Over that time, priorities change, responsibilities grow, and life looks different than it did at the beginning. What starts as an idea often requires far more patience, flexibility, and persistence than expected. Building something consistently also teaches lessons that cannot be learned from a book or a course. Many of those lessons come from trial and error, adjusting when things are not working, and continuing even when progress feels slow. It is easy to focus on downloads, views, and other numbers. But some of the most meaningful impact happens in conversations, connections, and feedback from people whose lives have been influenced in ways that cannot always be measured. In this special 5th anniversary episode of Time Out with the Sports Doctor, Dr. Derrick Burgess reflects on the journey from launching the podcast in 2021 to producing more than 220 episodes and interviewing over 130 guests. He shares five lessons he has learned along the way, including the importance of consistency, adaptability, adding value to others, and focusing on impact rather than metrics. Through personal reflections and highlights from past episodes, this conversation offers practical encouragement for anyone working toward a long-term goal or building something that matters to them.  "You will never know the extent of your potential until you give it something to do. Your potential needs to be tested." – Dr. Derrick Burgess Topics Covered: 00:01:02 – Celebrating five years of the podcast 00:03:28 – Lesson #1: Consistency is key 00:05:50 – Lesson #2: Don't take yourself too seriously 00:07:18 – Lesson #3: Be adaptable 00:08:31 – Lesson #4: Add value to others 00:10:21 – Lesson #5: The power of organic growth 00:11:13 – Why impact is bigger than numbers 00:13:19 – Just start and keep going 00:15:22 – Finding value in every experience 00:17:24 – Advice for aspiring podcasters 00:18:48 – The importance of delegation and support 00:19:43 – Why the perfect time never comes 00:21:19 – Focus on your trajectory, not your current position 00:22:00 – Defining success through your values 00:23:11 – Mental toughness and positive self-talk 00:24:57 – Growth requires doing the work 00:25:59 – Reaching your full potential 00:26:54 – Closing Key Takeaways:   "Consistency is key, and from that, you'll continue to grow, continue to refine your processes, and new opportunities will open up." "Always be open to collaborate with others." "Your impact is more than you can measure through those numbers." "If you are adaptable and you're willing to grow and learn as you go, I promise you it will be a blessing more than you can understand where you are right now." "Your most valuable asset is your time." "The time is now. Waiting on the season to be perfect probably will not occur." "Be more concerned about your trajectory than your current location." "Don't worry about the one that you just shot, worry about the next one." "You can't continue to stay on the negative mental side, because it's just gonna take you down." "Disappoint procrastination and commit to releasing your full potential."

Mark Pincus founded Zynga—the company behind Words With Friends, FarmVille, and Zynga Poker—and has arguably created more hit consumer products than anyone in history. At Zynga, eight of 10 major game launches became massive hits, reaching over a billion players. Over the past five years, Mark has been synthesizing everything he's learned about building successful consumer products and turning it into a book, Life at the Speed of Play, which comes out on June 23. This is the first interview he's done about the book.In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. His “Proven, Better, New” framework: copy what's proven, make it better so that 10 out of 10 people say “f*ck yes, I'll use this”—then add something new2. Why being less ambitious is the path to the most ambitious ideas3. His rule of thumb that your instincts are right 95% of the time, but your ideas are wrong 75% of the time4. “Kill hope before hope kills you”5.

What happens when two successful entertainers reach a point where fame, success, and recognition are no longer enough? On this episode of Between the Notes, Paisan Kapitan sits down with two fascinating guests whose journeys couldn't be more different—yet somehow arrive at the same destination. First, Armenian artist Eric Shane opens up about leaving Los Angeles for Las Vegas, finding peace after years of inner turmoil, strengthening his faith, overcoming grief, and discovering a healthier perspective on life, music, and relationships. It's a candid conversation about growth, healing, and learning to let go. Then, joining us from England via "JAMS CAM', world-renowned entertainer Kev Orkian shares stories from an extraordinary career that has taken him from concert halls and West End stages to royal performances and international acclaim. Along the way, Kev discusses comedy, philanthropy, Armenia, mental health, and one behind-the-scenes allegation he volunteered about Britain's Got Talent that you'll have to hear for yourself. This episode isn't about celebrity. It's about perspective. One guest found peace. One guest found purpose. Both discovered that success means very little if you don't know who you are when the spotlight fades. In this episode: • Eric Shane on faith, healing, music, and life in Las Vegas • The personal loss that changed everything • Why peace became more important than fame • Kev Orkian on comedy, music, and performing around the world • The surprising story behind his Britain's Got Talent experience • Mental health, resilience, and life beyond the stage • Philanthropy work in Armenia and building a lasting legacy Subscribe for more conversations with artists, entrepreneurs, creators, and worldchangers!

How would your life change if you could see the patterns running your future before they became your reality? For more than twenty years, Dave has used journaling as a tool for clarity, growth, and self-discovery. What began as a simple writing practice evolved into Reflection, a platform helping people capture their thoughts, identify patterns, and better understand themselves. In this conversation, Marc and Dave explore why self-awareness is becoming one of the most valuable skills in a rapidly changing world, how reflection can help us navigate uncertainty, and why the future of AI may be most powerful when paired with deeper human insight.

The main question I have received is .... why do it in the first place? In Episode #522 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: the behind the scenes of our first official marathon, why “finishing” can be its own kind of win, the three layers of marathoners you meet on race day, solo marathon attempts compared to the buzz of an organised event, tips (racing lines, shade-hunting, aid stations), where the wheels came off (cramps and blistered feet), reflect on why we choose hard things, what it would actually take for us to go sub‑4 and why halves and 10ks might be our sweet spot.

Mental sloth It is from the deceit of sin that the mind is spiritually slothful, by which it becomes negligent of this duty. The principal discharge of the mind's trust in this matter is expressed by "watching," which is the great caution that the Lord Jesus gave to His disciples in reference to all their dangers from sin and Satan. "I say unto all, Watch" (Mar 13:37). That is, use your utmost diligence and carefulness so that you are not surprised and entangled with temptations.

Episode 5: Being the Weird Kid / The OutsiderFor most of my life, I felt like I never fully fit in.Whether it was my love of pro wrestling, horror movies, paranormal topics, alternative culture, dark humor, or just seeing the world a little differently, there were plenty of times growing up where I felt like the outsider looking in.In this episode, I talk about:What it was like growing up feeling differentTrying to fit in and be acceptedThe pressure to hide parts of yourselfFinding communities that made me feel like I belongedHow wrestling, horror, music, and other interests shaped who I am todayWhy being different eventually became one of my biggest strengthsLooking back, the things that made me feel weird are the same things that helped shape my identity, build my community, and create the life I'm living today.Maybe fitting in was never the goal.

 In this episode of the Sumud Podcast, we sit down with comedian, humanitarian, and community organizer Said Durrah for a wide-ranging conversation about identity, service, storytelling, and purpose. Said reflects on growing up Palestinian-American, balancing comedy with humanitarian work, and the experiences that shaped his commitment to serving communities around the world. From fundraising efforts and refugee camp visits to building cultural platforms and launching his new Arab Is Me podcast, he shares personal stories about faith, resilience, representation, and the responsibility of preserving culture through art. The conversation also explores the challenges facing younger generations, the importance of authentic storytelling, mental health, and how creative work can become a vehicle for impact during times of crisis and uncertainty.  Palestinian by way of Gaza, Syrian by way of Damascus, and American by way of Detroit, Said Durrah has made audiences laugh in ways that transcend borders, languages, and cultures. Said's first performances as a young child were in front of his family, where he'd tell stories and impersonate other family members. It was only a matter of time until Said made his way on to an official comedic stage -- first, at the Comic Strip in NYC in 2010, and since, at famous venues such as the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, Hollywood's Laugh Factory, DC Improv, Caroline's in Times Square and even a performance on Broadway, just to name a few. Thousands have seen his performances live via tours including Allah Made Me Funny, 1001 Laughs Comedy Tour, Funatical Comedy Tour, and performances throughout Palestine including the historic El-Hakawati theater in Jerusalem. Said has also taught comedy workshops for children in the West Bank. Combining his love of comedy with his dedication to humanitarian work, Said has led, supported, and lent his comedic stylings to dozens of fundraising efforts, helping provide millions of dollars in vital aid for people in need around the world.  In this conversation, we explore  - Said's journey from stand-up comedy to humanitarian and advocacy work  - Fundraising efforts and supporting families affected by conflict and displacement  - The balance between entertainment, service, and community leadership  - Why preserving Arab and Palestinian culture matters for future generations  - The story behind the launch of the Arab Is Me podcast  - Identity, belonging, and growing up Arab in America  - The role of comedy in storytelling, healing, and cultural representation  - Navigating public criticism, activism, and community expectations  - Mental health conversations within Arab and Muslim communities  - Why authentic human connection matters more than social media validation  - Lessons learned from years of community organizing and nonprofit work  - Supporting young people pursuing creative careers and unconventional paths  - Said's biggest comedy influences and the future of Arab-American storytelling Sponsored by The Karate Attorney (@karateattorney) fighting for justice inside and outside the courtroom.

When we sit down to meditate, we are trying to get to a place of stillness, calm, and silence to easier place ourselves in the present moment. In the present moment, we gain clarity and balance and one way into that place of calm is silence. This meditation hopes to assist the meditator to get to that place. Listen to the silence. One breath at a time.

Think working in mental health is just sitting and listening? The reality is a chaotic, high volume front line where workers face severe psychological crises every single day. In this episode, our host sits down with the author of “So You Want To Work in Mental Health?: The Good, the Bad, and the Unforgettable,” Cliffard Mayo, MBA, LAC, to pull back the curtain on what really happens behind closed doors for many mental health workers. Listeners will learn: Mental health workers are trained not to internalize a client's failures, and therefore often refuse to take credit for their successes. Nonclinical staff absorb crisis trauma but are often denied essential training and support. Empathy fatigue is where clients begin to feel like a rotation of numbers rather than people. Training vs. Reality: Academia teaches how to run a controlled, one-on-one clinical session, but often fails to prepare graduates for the volume, chaos, and emotional exhaustion of the actual field. Whether you are a professional working in healthcare or someone determined to understand the current, raw state of mental health advocacy, this conversation delivers the essential insights and perspectives you need. Hit play to uncover the unspoken truths of caregiving and learn how we can preserve the people who spend their lives saving others.    "School prepared me to be a therapist in a session [...] It didn't prepare me for handling the sheer volume of vicarious trauma, chaos, exhaustion." — Cliffard Mayo, author of “So You Want to Work in Mental Health?” Our guest, Cliffard Mayo, MBA, LAC, is an award‑winning author and behavioral health professional with a decade of direct care experience, including crisis intervention and residential therapy. Known for his authenticity and emotional intelligence, Cliffard blends professional expertise with deeply human storytelling to challenge stigma and inspire resilience. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.

Todayyy we talk about ways to stay close to your significant other and loved ones when you're struggling mentally. I talk about my ups and downs with my Bipolar Depression II, and how my depression has been and how I manage those lows now after being diagnosed. I share some ideas and ways to take the pressure off your partner or loved ones to "save you" or to be a "perfect" support person. How it can damage our recovery when we rely heavily on others to fix or reassure us. I hope you enjoy!

SUMMARY In this episode, Andrew Adams and Nick Taber discuss the challenges adults face in martial arts compared to children. They explore various factors including physical differences, mental barriers, emotional baggage, and the importance of community. The conversation highlights how adults often struggle with flexibility, fear of judgment, and the weight of past experiences, while children tend to learn more freely and adapt quickly. The hosts emphasize the need for adults to find the right martial arts community that suits their needs and to maintain a growth mindset throughout their training journey.   TAKEAWAYS Adults often struggle more than kids in martial arts. Physical differences, such as flexibility, impact performance. Mental barriers like fear and self-judgment hinder adults. Emotional baggage from life experiences affects learning. Finding the right community is crucial for adult learners. Kids learn martial arts while growing up, adults are still growing. Adults may question instructors more than kids do. The fear of being bad in public affects adult participation. Adults have more obligations that can interfere with training. A growth mindset is essential for success in martial arts.

What do restaurant owners really think about customers? And what happens when a lifelong people-person—raised in the restaurant business, trained in psychology, and now leading tourism and community development—sits down for an honest conversation about modern life, parenting, hospitality, and America? In this episode of I Like That Story, Jeff Gould talks with Brittany Wagner, Tourism Director for Visit Yankton and a leader with Yankton Thrive in historic Yankton, South Dakota. Brittany's organization has invited Jeff to bring his acclaimed America's Story presentation to Yankton as part of the community's celebration surrounding America's 250th birthday—an especially meaningful event for one of the most historic communities in the Dakota Territory. Brittany shares her unique journey: * Growing up in her family's restaurant from the age of three * Working more than a decade as a mental health therapist for youth and families * Owning and operating a restaurant during the COVID era * Transitioning into tourism, storytelling, and community building through Visit Yankton and Yankton Thrive Together, Jeff and Brittany dive into: * The hidden psychology of restaurants and tipping * Restaurant cleanliness secrets diners never notice * Parenting in the smartphone and social media era * Gentle parenting vs. traditional parenting * Mental health challenges facing young people today * Why family dinners still matter * Storytelling, history, and preserving family memories * The beauty and challenges of small-town life * Why Yankton and the Missouri River region still matter in America's story The episode is funny, thoughtful, nostalgic, and surprisingly personal — blending restaurant stories, parenting insights, psychology, American history, and candid reflections about modern culture and human connection. Outside of work, Brittany and her husband Josh are raising four children while balancing the beautiful chaos of family life, youth sports, travel, hiking, and small-town living.

Mental shortcuts, such as bias, are essential to our survival. Understanding that unconscious bias is a mental shortcut makes it easier to examine it in ourselves, instead of simply rejecting the idea that we might harbor it. If it's a moral failing, well, clearly, I don't want to admit that possibility about myself.  If we are willing to look at ourselves, we can dig into what unconscious biases we may have. We can consider where they started. Without punishing judgment of ourselves or our early influences.  My most recent guest, David Hoffman, described the article he had written with Helen Winter, called “Follow the Science: Proven Strategies for Reducing Unconscious Bias.” You can find it here: https://blc.law/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Follow-the-Science-Proven-Strategies-for-Reducing-Unconscious-Bias-Final-2023-04-15.pdf Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Achiever syndrome affects more entrepreneurs and high performers than most people realize. Outwardly, many business leaders appear confident, driven, and successful, yet internally they often carry persistent stress, self-doubt, anxiety, and the constant pressure to prove themselves. The challenge is that these struggles are frequently hidden beneath productivity, ambition, and professional accomplishments. For many high achievers, success becomes tied to identity. Instead of feeling fulfilled by accomplishments, there is often a lingering fear that success could disappear, that mistakes will expose weaknesses, or that slowing down could cause everything to fall apart. This creates a cycle where achievement no longer feels rewarding because the pressure to maintain it never truly ends. Achiever syndrome is not simply about working hard. It is rooted in the unconscious beliefs people develop over time about worthiness, safety, success, and failure. These beliefs often begin early in life and continue operating beneath the surface long into adulthood, influencing decision-making, confidence, relationships, leadership, and personal well-being. Many entrepreneurs and executives attempt to solve these struggles by focusing only on mindset strategies. They read books, attend conferences, hire coaches, and consume motivational content in hopes of overcoming internal resistance. While these tools can be valuable, they often address surface-level thinking without resolving the deeper emotional patterns driving the behavior. That is why many high performers continue feeling stuck despite outward success. Mental barriers are rarely logical. They are emotional patterns reinforced over years of experiences, beliefs, and internal narratives. People may consciously want growth, confidence, financial success, or healthier relationships while subconsciously carrying fears connected to rejection, failure, abandonment, or not feeling "good enough." These hidden beliefs create internal conflict. One part of the mind pushes toward growth and opportunity, while another part quietly resists change because it associates uncertainty with emotional discomfort or danger. This is why many successful individuals repeatedly encounter the same struggles in different forms throughout their lives. The circumstances may change, but the underlying emotional patterns remain the same. Achiever syndrome often shows up through overworking, perfectionism, procrastination, burnout, imposter syndrome, or difficulty enjoying success. Some people become addicted to proving themselves. Others become trapped in comparison, constantly measuring their progress against others instead of focusing on their own growth. The pressure can become exhausting. Many high achievers operate as though rest must be earned and self-worth must be constantly validated through performance. Even after reaching significant milestones, there is often another target, another challenge, or another level of success required before they feel "enough." Over time, this mindset creates emotional fatigue and chronic stress. Stress itself is not always the problem. In many cases, it is the ongoing internal tension created by unresolved beliefs and emotional patterns. The mind and body remain in a heightened state of alert because success feels fragile and identity feels attached to outcomes. Breaking through mental barriers requires more than positive thinking. Real transformation often begins by identifying the beliefs operating beneath conscious awareness. These beliefs shape how people interpret experiences, respond to setbacks, evaluate opportunities, and perceive themselves. Without recognizing these patterns, individuals may continue repeating behaviors that no longer serve them. One of the most important shifts involves moving from self-protection to self-trust. When people operate from fear, they tend to avoid discomfort, hesitate during opportunities, or emotionally punish themselves after setbacks. This creates a cycle of tension that limits creativity, confidence, and long-term fulfillment. In contrast, individuals who develop stronger self-trust become more resilient, adaptable, and capable of navigating uncertainty without constant emotional strain. Another important factor is the quality of internal questions people ask themselves each day. Questions focused on fear, limitation, or self-criticism often reinforce negative emotional states. Questions focused on growth, possibility, and learning can gradually shift perspective and behavior. Over time, these internal patterns influence how people approach leadership, relationships, health, business decisions, and personal development. Entrepreneurs and executives frequently invest heavily in business systems, marketing strategies, and operational improvements while neglecting the internal systems driving their own behavior. Yet leadership effectiveness is deeply connected to emotional resilience, self-awareness, and mental clarity. The most sustainable growth often occurs when people strengthen both external strategy and internal alignment. Achiever syndrome does not mean someone lacks ambition or capability. In many cases, highly driven individuals developed their work ethic and determination as coping mechanisms designed to create safety, approval, or validation. While those patterns may initially fuel achievement, they can eventually become barriers to peace, fulfillment, and authentic confidence. Breaking through mental barriers requires awareness, honesty, and a willingness to examine the beliefs shaping daily behavior. Growth becomes more sustainable when success is no longer driven solely by fear, pressure, or the need to constantly prove worth. The strongest leaders are not necessarily the ones who avoid struggle. They are often the ones willing to confront the internal patterns limiting their growth, challenge outdated beliefs, and create healthier foundations for success moving forward.

Ce jeudi 11 juin s'ouvre La Coupe du monde de football 2026. À cette occasion, nous nous penchons sur la préparation mentale des sportifs de haut niveau. Endurance, force, agilité, vitesse... Si l'accent a souvent été mis sur les capacités du corps, on le sait aujourd'hui, la performance ne dépend pas uniquement de la condition physique. On parle souvent du « mental du sportif » notamment pour gérer la pression. La Coupe du monde de football 2026, c'est parti : 5 semaines de compétition, 48 équipes en lice, 104 matches, trois pays hôtes : les États-Unis, le Mexique et le Canada. Priorité santé se met au diapason avec un focus sur la préparation mentale des sportifs de haut niveau. Pendant très longtemps, on a formé des champions musclés, rapides, endurants, on s'occupait de la technique et de la tactique. Mais on oubliait le stress, les doutes, les blocages, la pression qui pouvaient ronger en silence les sportifs. Aujourd'hui, le sujet n'est plus tabou, au contraire. On sait à quel point le mental joue un rôle déterminant dans les performances sportives. Comment les athlètes se préparent-ils mentalement à la compétition ? Comment apprennent-ils à gérer la pression, à rebondir après un échec, à garder confiance en eux, à rester motivés tout en prenant du plaisir ?   Avec :  Dr Jérôme Palazzolo, psychiatre, psychothérapeute, professeur des Universités en Psychologie clinique et médicale et auteur du livre La préparation mentale du sportif de haut niveau. Mieux se connaître, mieux performer, mieux s'épanouir, aux éditions Hermann Dr Nalla Socé Fall, enseignant-chercheur à l'Université Gaston Berger de Saint-Louis et directeur du Centre National d'Éducation Populaire et Sportive (CNEPS) de Thiès, au Sénégal.

Join Michael at his Mt. Shasta Summer Retreat, July 30 - August 2! Sign up by June 14 to receive Early Bird Savings! Click here: https://events.agapelive.com/mt-shasta-summer-retreat/  Today, Michael welcomes Dr. Paul Conti. Dr. Paul Conti is a celebrity-endorsed psychiatrist, renowned author, and President of Pacific Premier Group PC, a comprehensive mental health clinic providing therapy, coaching, and consulting services to individuals, families, and businesses in the United States and abroad. He has been featured on leading podcasts with hosts including Tim Ferriss, Andrew Huberman, and Mel Robbins. In his latest book, What's Going Right , Dr. Conti offers a paradigm-shifting approach to mental health, highlighting the brain's "generative drive"—the innate force that fuels creativity, connection, purpose, and resilience. Rather than focusing on what's wrong, he provides practical tools for cultivating peace, contentment, emotional well-being, and ultimately, a more joyful life. Conversation Highlights include: -Mental health is not a matter of being either healthy or broken, but an ongoing practice that requires the same care, attention, and maintenance as physical health. -A powerful shift in perspective reveals how focusing exclusively on "what's wrong" creates blind spots, while beginning with "what's going right" opens the door to honest self-awareness and lasting change. -An exploration of the three core human drives—assertion, pleasure, and the generative drive—and why creating goodness, meaning, and contribution is essential for a fulfilling life. -The importance of approaching yourself with compassionate curiosity rather than shame, criticism, or fear when uncovering patterns that no longer serve your well-being. -Why cynicism often develops as protection against disappointment, yet ultimately blocks connection, joy, trust, and the ability to recognize goodness in life. -A practical framework for understanding the structure and function of self, offering a roadmap for personal growth, emotional healing, and greater resilience. -A discussion on meditation as a pathway to mental clarity, emotional regulation, inner peace, and a healthier relationship with your thoughts. -Insight into how recurring challenges—especially in relationships—can reveal unconscious patterns that become opportunities for deeper self-understanding and transformation. -The concept of life narrative and how many people unconsciously define themselves by failures and disappointments while overlooking their resilience, strength, and successes. Next, Michael closes the episode with a guided meditation centered on empowering questions that activate possibility, shift perception, and invite the mind to discover evidence of abundance, health, and goodness.

In this powerful episode of Master Your Marriage, Sharla and Robert Snow explore one of the most misunderstood topics in relationships: forgiveness. They revisit the subject with fresh insights, addressing common misconceptions, the crucial difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, and when it might actually be wise to move slowly on reconciliation — while still choosing internal peace.Through personal stories (including Sharla's transformational experience with ho'oponopono), real client examples, and science-backed research, you'll discover how forgiveness is something you do for yourself — not for the offender. Learn how to let go of resentment without losing your boundaries or compromising your safety.Whether you're working through a small rupture or a deep wound, this episode offers clarity, hope, and practical tools to help you find freedom.Key Takeaways:Forgiveness is an internal process — it does not mean forgetting, excusing, or reconciling.You can forgive someone and still maintain strong boundaries (or even choose not to reconcile).Your peace does not have to wait for the other person to change — that's living at cause.Unforgiveness carries real physical and mental health costs, but forgiveness offers powerful benefits.Resources Mentioned:Companion Episode: Ho'oponopono Forgiveness Meditation (available on Spotify & Apple Podcasts) and available here!Research & Further Reading:Toussaint, L.
