Podcasts about Mental health

Small business ownership is widely celebrated for fueling innovation and community prosperity. Yet beneath the ambition and daily execution lies a critical and under-recognized leadership challenge: the mental health strain on owners themselves. This episode unpacks research showing how stress, isolation, and burnout are not “personal issues” but systemic factors that impact decision-making, resilience, performance, and organizational culture. Mental health must move from a private burden to a strategic leadership priority. Key Research & Findings 1. The Hidden Health Burden of Ownership Based on Nav's report surveying more than 1,000 U.S. small business owners. Nearly half (48%) report their business consumes so much attention it detracts from life outside work. Stress, fatigue, and anxiety are widespread: 53% identify stress as a common health impact. Over 40% report fatigue and anxiety. 36% experience headaches tied to work demands. A full third say they've experienced mental health challenges significant enough to warrant professional support — yet nearly half have not accessed it. 2. Why This Matters for Leadership Mental health strain affects more than the individual owner: It reduces decision clarity and confidence in high-stakes moments. It undermines resilience in volatile cash flow, competitive shifts, or market unpredictability. It bleeds into culture, performance, and long-term viability when leaders are mentally depleted. 3. Systemic Stressors in Small Business Owners must act as generalists — juggling finance, operations, sales, HR, and leadership simultaneously — with financial stress clearly leading as the top pressure point. Unlike traditional jobs, ownership often lacks daily psychological detachment, making recovery moments (rest, time off) rare and difficult. What Owners Are Already Doing Despite the strain: Many apply individual coping strategies: Exercise, mindfulness practices. Connecting with family/friends. Yet these efforts are undermined by structural barriers: Many owners haven't taken a full week off in more than three years. Cost concerns and self-reliance discourage professional support. Leadership & HR Imperatives 1. Mental Health Literacy is Leadership Literacy Leaders must build fluency in recognizing stress, burnout, and psychological fatigue — not as deficits of character, but as systemic outcomes of ownership. 2. Culture Design with Mental Health as Strategy Mental health needs to be explicitly integrated into leadership conversations, not limited to “well-being perks.” This means shaping organizational norms that: Normalize help-seeking. Intentionally embed recovery rhythms (time off, boundary setting). Build structural supports consistent with sustainable leadership. 3. Shift from Personal Burden to Organizational Priority Treating mental health as an individual issue misses the systemic impact on performance, resilience, and long-term success. Takeaways for Executives & Founders Reframe mental health as a strategic performance factor — not a personal aside. Design leadership practices that institutionalize psychological recovery. Expand support systems beyond fitness or mindfulness programs to include coaching, peer networks, and professional access. Measure and reflect on how mental strain affects decisions, productivity, and culture. Discussion Questions (for Leadership Roundtables or Workshops) In what ways is owner mental health currently visible or invisible in your organization's leadership ecosystem? What structural barriers (e.g., time off, cultural norms, resource allocation) are preventing small business owners from accessing support? How can leaders create deliberate practices that embed psychological recovery into the rhythm of work?

How do you know when it's time to reinvent yourself creatively? And once you do, how do you remember that through it all, who you are in the best thing about you? This episode was recorded while podcast host and producer, Zak Rosen and I walked around Belle Isle in Detroit talking about creative reinvention, identity, and what it really means to build a life around your values.You'll hear the wind moving through the trees and the ice crunching beneath our feet and sheer creative vulnerability as Zak discusses how he knew it was finally time to shift a long-term project. Zak is the host of the beloved indie podcast Weirdly Hepful and a longtime creative whose path has included multiple reinventions, pivots, and personal awakenings. Together, we explore the emotional side of creativity that rarely gets talked about, especially the danger of tying your self-worth to what you make.We talk about:-Why separating your identity from your work is essential for long-term creative health-The freedom that comes from redefining success on your own terms-Creative reinvention and how to let yourself evolve -What it means to build a creative life instead of chasing external validationListen to Zak's Pod: https://weirdlyhelpful.show/

Do you ever feel like your whole life is about giving… and you're the one left empty? Giving to your kids. Giving to your marriage. Giving to your work. Giving to everyone who needs something from you. Maybe you tell yourself this is what love looks like. Maybe you believe good moms don't need much. Maybe you feel guilty for wanting more than survival. But somewhere along the way, sacrifice stopped feeling holy… and started feeling heavy. In today's episode, we talk about sacrifice — not the kind God invites us into, but the kind that quietly turns into resentment, burnout, and loss of self. Not laying down your life in love. But disappearing in the name of being needed. We talk about how unhealthy sacrifice shows up when: • You ignore your limits • You believe your needs don't matter • You feel selfish for resting • You equate love with suffering • You stay depleted instead of restored This episode will help you: • Discern the difference between godly sacrifice and self-erasure • Understand why constant depletion isn't spiritual • See how resentment is a signal, not a failure • Learn how to honor your needs without guilt • Begin practicing sacrifice that leads to life instead of loss If you've been feeling tired, invisible, or quietly angry — this episode will help you name what's really happening underneath it. God does call us to lay down our lives. But He never calls us to disappear. And when sacrifice flows from love instead of fear, it leads to freedom — not bitterness. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama? Sign Up for the Pain to Peace Academy HERE.

Recorded live at a SAND Community Gathering (Feb 2026) Dr. Samah Jabr, a Palestinian psychiatrist and author of Radiance in Pain and Resilience, joins Dr. Mays Imad (with questions from the audience chat) for a conversation about what it means to stay human when the structures meant to protect people are the ones doing the harm. Drawing on decades of clinical work inside the occupation, Dr. Jabr moves past the “sanitized” versions of trauma to speak directly to the heart of colonial harm in Palestine. Central to this dialogue is an exploration of the deep ontological differences between Western psychiatric models and Palestinian lived experience. While Western frameworks often pathologize the individual through the lens of PTSD, Dr. Jabr introduces the concept of iptila—viewing tribulations through a framework of agency, faith, and collective endurance. She challenges the frequent romanticization of sumud (steadfastness), reframing it not as a poetic trope, but as a grueling relational practice and an ethical refusal to disappear when everything conspires toward Palestinian erasure. In a reality where the harm never ends, memory becomes a battlefield, grief a form of testimony, bearing witness an active refusal to normalize the unacceptable, and storytelling a vital survival infrastructure against the assassination of memory.

They discuss finding community within the industry and why mental health has become a central focus in both planning and product development.

The conversation doesn't shy away from the realities of inventory management and sales challenges, but it also highlights the importance of designing meaningful tools that genuinely support women's mental well-being.

Host Adrienne Wilkerson welcomes John Sanders of RevKey Digital to discuss how AI is changing Google paid ads, especially for mental health practices. John shares his background managing Google Ads since 2015, how his wife's testing psychology practice led him into the mental health niche, and how he founded Rev Key in 2018, now supporting mostly mental health clients with a team of nine account managers. They explain the shift from keyword-based exact match search campaigns to intent-driven targeting, noting that search campaign cost-per-click has often doubled in the last 18 months, making traditional search less viable. John describes using performance max more frequently due to lower CPCs and broader top-of-funnel reach, while emphasizing the need for tight guardrails to prevent low-converting placements like display and to stop auto-generated assets such as poor AI-created videos. The conversation covers why agencies should avoid letting AI write ad copy in regulated mental health contexts, predictions that ads will eventually appear alongside Gemini and within AI search experiences due to Google's ad-driven revenue model, and the current AI market dynamics with ChatGPT holding major share. John also offers advice for choosing an agency: clients should own their Google Ads account and expect clear, monthly communication beyond reports to connect ad performance to real business outcomes.

The most misunderstood symptoms of Alzheimer's and dementia are behavioral changes such as agitation, aggression, and social withdrawal. Author Lisa Skinner, in her book Truth, Lies & Alzheimer's: Its Secret Faces, identifies these as the "secret faces" of the disease—non-verbal communication used when a patient can no longer express physical pain or fear through words. Families often mistake these for personality flaws rather than neurological symptoms. While standard medical advice often focuses on "reality orientation"—constantly correcting a patient's confusion—Skinner advocates for an unconventional path that prioritizes emotional peace of mind over factual accuracy. This approach meets the patient in their own reality to reduce dementia-related distress, shifting the focus from clinical management to emotional validation. The "Truth vs. Lie" dynamic is a cornerstone of this compassionate care model. Skinner argues that "therapeutic fibbing" is often the kinder choice. Forcing a patient to face a painful truth, such as the death of a spouse decades ago, causes them to relive traumatic grief repeatedly. Entering their world to provide comfort is a more humane alternative than a truth that causes unnecessary psychological harm. In the realm of regenerative medicine, as highlighted in Skinner's work with Dr. Anand Srivastava, the narrative of brain diagnoses is shifting from inevitable decline toward potential cellular repair. Advances in stem cell research and cellular rejuvenation offer a future where "devastating" diagnoses are viewed through the lens of biological mitigation and neuro-regeneration rather than just symptom management. For caregivers navigating the "relentless pace" of the caregiver's gauntlet, the most immediate mental health shift is to Release the Guilt. Recognizing that "you cannot pour from an empty cup" is essential. Skinner emphasizes that accepting personal limitations and acknowledging that "good enough" care is more sustainable than perfectionist burnout is the first step toward reclaiming mental well-being.

The release of the Epstein files is a window into something far larger: power operating in the shadows, shaping culture, medicine, and the future of humanity itself. In this episode, I connect that to the transhumanist movement, which is nothing more than eugenics repackaged for a new era, and to the psychiatric industrial complex, which has always been part of that anti-human project.I then share 10 minutes from a recent conference talk where I spoke directly about what I believe is a systematic assault on human consciousness. Pathologizing the inner world, suppressing spiritual identity, severing people from God, from nature, from one another. This is not accident or incompetence. It is by design. When you disconnect people from their soul, you create a population that is dependent, confused, and easily controlled. That is the function of the mental health industrial complex. It is time to reclaim your sovereignty, your spirit, and your mind.

Vital Mindset & Discipline PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTSpirituality Is Foundational to Mental Health and ResilienceThe episode argues that spirituality—defined as a belief in something bigger than oneself—is not merely philosophical but scientifically supported as a fundamental resource for promoting mental health. Peer-reviewed data cited in the podcast link spirituality and religion to improved emotional resilience, inner serenity, compassion, and psychological well-being.Religion and Spirituality Have Measurable Neurobiological and Social EffectsEngaging in spiritual or religious practices activates brain regions involved in emotional regulation and social perception. Research discussed suggests these practices strengthen social bonds, enhance compassion, reduce stress, and may improve immunity, cardiovascular outcomes, and overall longevity.Spiritual Well-Being Can Be Measured and StrengthenedA nine-question NIH survey (Experience of All Life Stressors Short Form) is presented as a concise tool to assess spiritual well-being, including purpose, peace, gratitude, compassion, presence, and connection to a higher power. The key message: we cannot eliminate suffering, but we can train ourselves to respond to it better by strengthening these dimensions.Forgiveness and Purpose Are Powerful Biological ToolsForgiveness is framed not just as a moral virtue but as a physiological stress-reduction strategy. Research on the REACH method shows forgiveness reduces anxiety and depression. Similarly, a strong sense of purpose is associated with increased longevity. Both are actionable ways to deepen spiritual vitality.Awareness of Mortality Clarifies Meaning and ActionThrough the “shovel next to the grave” reflection, the episode emphasizes that recognizing life's fragility sharpens focus on purpose, service, and compassion. Rather than being morbid, contemplating mortality helps individuals live more intentionally—working hard at work worth doing, as quoted from Teddy Roosevelt.Copyright VyVerse, LLC.

Hello everyone. We kick things off with some lighter life updates, including Corey surviving a truly brutal Valentine's Day restaurant experience, Danny P celebrating a big win with his eighth grade bball team, and Greg nearly blowing off his eyebrows while grilling steaks. Then we pivot into the main recovery segment with our guest Elizabeth Everett, who shares how a childhood full of secrets, isolation, trauma, and addiction shaped what came next, and how chasing acceptance sent her down a fast, dangerous road. She walks us through what finally changed, what surrender looked like in real life, and the daily practices that keep her grounded now. The takeaway is simple: you don't heal alone, and that one “small compromise” can grow fast if you let it.

“That's the thing that's maybe getting lost in some of the fear mongering around it is that, it's not the easy way out. It doesn't mean that you don't have to do the work. It means that when you do the work, the work actually makes the difference.” —Aja BeckettFood noise can sit in the back of the mind all day, from planning the next meal at breakfast to carrying quiet shame after every snack. In a culture that moralizes weight and labels bodies as failures, real medical treatment for obesity often gets buried under hot takes about shortcuts and cheating.

In this powerful continuation of our two-part series on mental health and Olympic athletes, we chat with Olympic sprinter Kendall Ellis and Olympic pentathlete Samantha Schultz for an honest, grounded conversation about what it truly means to perform at the highest level. Kendall and Samantha open up about the pressures that come with elite competition, the stigma they faced when seeking help, and the emotional toll of constantly striving to appear “strong.” They reflect on their early careers, share the strategies that helped them stay grounded, and explore why vulnerability and support systems are essential for athletes at any stage. The conversation also dives into identity, transitions, and the often‑overlooked mental health challenges that arise when injuries, retirement, or major life changes shift an athlete's sense of self. Kendall and Samantha offer compassionate, hard-earned insights for young athletes, families, coaches, and anyone navigating big goals while protecting their well‑being. Join us for a thoughtful, encouraging discussion that reminds us that mental health is just as vital as physical health—on and off the field.

What if a major driver of today’s mental health crisis isn’t simply “more disorders,” but more people who feel unseen, unheard, and alone? In this episode of the Thinking Christian Podcast, Dr. James Spencer talks with Dr. Jackie E. Perry—Clinical Supervisor, Professor of Counselor Education at Columbia International University, and President of the Soulwell Center—about loneliness, the loss of emotional connection, and why the church must recover the skill of attuned listening. Jackie explains how the Soulwell Center began: while teaching counselor “helping skills,” she realized many of those relational tools could be taught in a lay-friendly way to parents, pastors, and everyday Christians. The result is a training approach that combines practical listening techniques with the neuroscience of relationships—equipping people to hold a safe space where others can feel truly “seen and known.” James and Jackie discuss a trend Jackie has observed across decades in the mental health field: in the last 10–15 years, more clients have been coming not primarily with severe pathology, but because they don’t have anyone who listens. Therapy becomes a paid place of connection—something that should not be rare in Christian community. The conversation explores how technology can create distance (including the rise of AI-mediated communication), why many people lack a “mental model” for deep listening, and how shame and perceived “threat” can make relational closeness feel unsafe. Jackie introduces the concept of “eyes of delight”—the nonverbal experience of being attended to with warmth—and explains why nonverbal presence often does more than words. They also connect listening to the broader formation of disciples: without embodied, relational connection, people drift into isolation, cope through substitutes, and struggle to develop distress tolerance—the ability to endure discomfort and stay engaged through conflict, hardship, and the messiness of real relationships. The result is not only loneliness, but fragility and retreat from vocation, mission, and spiritual maturity. In the end, Jackie offers a simple but demanding vision: the church must become a community that can listen across difference and reflect the “eyes of Christ.” That kind of faithful presence is not optional—it is essential for discipleship, mental health, and a credible Christian witness today. Topics include: Soulwell Center’s mission and the “listening course” Loneliness, mental health, and why therapy becomes a substitute for community “Eyes of delight” and the neuroscience of connection Shame, vulnerability, and why being known can feel threatening Nonverbal communication and why presence matters Distress tolerance, overprotection, and the formation of resilient adults What the church must recover to make faithful disciples You can purchase Heart Cries of Every Teen here.

LESSON 50I Am Sustained By The Love Of God.Here is the answer to every problem that will confront you, today and tomorrow and throughout time. In this world, you believe you are sustained by everything but God. Your faith is placed in the most trivial and insane symbols; pills, money, “protective” clothing, influence, prestige, being liked, knowing the “right” people, and an endless list of forms of nothingness that you endow with magical powers.All these things are your replacements for the Love of God. All these things are cherished to ensure a body identification. They are songs of praise to the ego. Do not put your faith in the worthless. It will not sustain you.Only the Love of God will protect you in all circumstances. It will lift you out of every trial, and raise you high above all the perceived dangers of this world into a climate of perfect peace and safety. It will transport you into a state of mind that nothing can threaten, nothing can disturb, and where nothing can intrude upon the eternal calm of the Son of God.Put not your faith in illusions. They will fail you. Put all your faith in the Love of God within you; eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. This is the answer to whatever confronts you today. Through the Love of God within you, you can resolve all seeming difficulties without effort and in sure confidence. Tell yourself this often today. It is a declaration of release from the belief in idols. It is your acknowledgment of the truth about yourself.For ten minutes, twice today, morning and evening, let the idea for today sink deep into your consciousness. Repeat it, think about it, let related thoughts come to help you recognize its truth, and allow peace to flow over you like a blanket of protection and surety. Let no idle and foolish thoughts enter to disturb the holy mind of the Son of God. Such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Such is the resting place where your Father has placed you forever.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Send a textWhen a split-second choice could become tomorrow's headline, how do you stay human under the uniform? We sit down with former deputy sheriff turned coach and author AK Dozanti to unpack the real toll of first responder life—and the science-backed tools that help you heal without losing your edge.AK traces a rare path: undercover ICAC work at 19, road patrol, officer of the year, rapid burnout, then a pivot into victim advocacy, graduate study in criminology and victimology, yoga teacher training, and ultimately a mission to coach police, fire, EMS, and dispatch. She shares how early suicide losses set a hidden baseline for stress, why trauma is a near-universal experience rather than a diagnosis, and how high-velocity calls collide with a nervous system built for survival, not perfection. We break down the biology of stress—adrenaline surges, the brainstem's grip, and the prefrontal cortex going offline—and show how that clashes with modern expectations: body cams rolling, phones pointed, pristine Miranda, and zero room for error.We also tackle the weight of public narratives: how one viral failure can stain an entire profession, how ambushes and doxxing amplify hypervigilance, and why the “off switch” at home can be the hardest skill of all. AK offers practical, field-tested resets for the nervous system—slow exhale breathing, orienting, grounding through the feet, and micro-recoveries between calls—along with culture shifts leaders can make today: protect days off, normalize precise language around suicide, include dispatch in wellness training, and reward process over speed. The goal isn't spin; it's operational readiness and human dignity.If you serve on the front lines or love someone who does, this conversation gives you language, tools, and hope.
