Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has had an intense and revealing past week, making headlines with both deeply personal revelations and ongoing speculation about his music and business activities. According to Good Morning America, Bieber posted an emotional and candid Instagram message on June 16th, addressing his ongoing struggles with anger issues and describing himself as feeling "broken." He wrote, "People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already?" Bieber went on to explain how his anger is a response to past trauma, stating, "My anger is a response to the pain I have been thru. Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean." In a separate post, he shared direct messages with an unidentified contact, ending the friendship after being accused of lashing out, and insisting that expressing anger is part of authentic relationships, not something to suppress. These posts have sparked a wave of support and concern among fans.On the lighter side, Justin has simultaneously shared glimpses of his family life, posting several photos with his son Jack Blues, whom he shares with wife Hailey Bieber. Celebrating milestones like Hailey's first Mother's Day, Bieber's social media has mixed vulnerability with moments of joy and pride in his new role as a father. Access Hollywood reports that despite his recent emotional confessions, Bieber has also been active in defending himself publicly. Just last week, he was caught on camera in a viral 11-minute confrontation with a paparazzo, where he passionately demanded respect, emphasizing that his anger is a reaction to being disrespected, not a sign of malice.There is ongoing speculation about a major comeback. Hypebeast and Puck News have both reported that Bieber is planning a return to music in 2025, possibly motivated by both creative desire and financial necessity after debts from a cancelled tour. Although his representatives have not confirmed a new album or tour, Rebel Music suggests preparations are underway for a global tour aligned with an upcoming album, which would be his first full project since 2021's Justice. On the business front, Bieber has parted ways with his long-time manager Scooter Braun, indicating a significant transformation in his professional circle, a move confirmed by multiple sources.On social media, Bieber's posts have trended for their candidness, including confessions about conflicts with Hailey—specifically noting past arguments about her career—and his critiques of transactional relationships. His candid admissions, ongoing family updates, and hints at a musical return continue to fuel speculation about his next chapter, underscoring a period of genuine transformation, vulnerability, and perhaps, reinvention for the pop star.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

For this episode Danny Hurst is joined by John Ryan who describes himself as a men´s health comedian, healthcare professional and podcaster who has won multiple awards, including the Scottish Mental Health and Arts Film Festival Best Short Documentary Award and the NHS Regional Health and Social Care Award for Mental Health and Well-being. He has performed extensively across the UK and abroad, hosts a radio show, and has had a research paper published in a psychiatric journal.

If you can´t get enough of these podcasts, head to https://www.patreon.com/DannyHurst to access my exclusive, member-only, fun-filled and fact-packed history-related videos. KEY TAKEAWAYS A lot of people on the comedy circuit are quite vulnerable. Being a comic is challenging. Often, the pay is poor, so it is hard for comedians to make a steady living and be financially secure in older age. John grew up in a very ethnically mixed part of Hackney, which gave him a lifelong love of different cultures. As a kid, John noticed that a lot of the men in his Irish family died a lot younger than other men, which fuelled his interest in men´s mental health. Most men´s sexual health issues are connected to poor mental health. Society still encourages men to take risks and push themselves beyond healthy limits. Making it hard to live a balanced life. Creating a safe physical space helps men to open up and talk more. Banter can do more damage than you realise. Humour breaks down barriers and helps people to open up and talk. Talking protects your mental health. Aim for contentment in life. BEST MOMENTS “I always wanted to find a way to bridge the gap between comedy, communications and men's health.” “Rowdy. But, you know, rowdy, you can out shout them, out shock them, or just go quiet.” “I managed to talk my way out of it by putting on a silly accent and pretending I was an Orient fan.” “Health is the real leveller, whether you are black, white, Asian, Chinese.” “Life is about learning to let go of unnecessary items.” “We are trying to take haha to aha.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/comedyjohnryan https://happytohealthyou.com HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students.

There's a difference between being self-aware—and being self-stuck.In this episode, I'm talking about the fine line between relating to your struggles and building your entire identity around them. Mental health awareness is powerful and necessary—but when the memes, the labels, and the constant self-diagnosing become your main personality trait, it can quietly keep you from actually moving forward.We'll explore: – Why over-identifying with your struggles can feel safe—but keep you stuck – The role of community, language, and internet culture in shaping your identity – How to honor your mental health without making it your entire self – What it really looks like to heal, grow, and lead yourself forwardThis one might challenge you—but in the best way. Let's trade labels for leadership.The Collab Studio: Payment plan: https://app.moonclerk.com/pay/huzc05sqykzPay-In-Full: https://app.moonclerk.com/pay/2xdvrpnxaejiVisit macierenae.com to learn more about Macie & her work!Interested in working with her?

"These five words changed everything: It All Starts With You." Trent Shelton June is Men's Mental Health Month, and on our platform, that means leaning into the tough conversations—asking the hard questions that may be uncomfortable, but are necessary for real change. Sometimes, all it takes is one honest moment, one powerful story, to shift a mindset or spark a breakthrough. In this special episode, we sit down with former NFL player turned motivational force and social media phenomenon, Trent Shelton, for a raw, honest, and deeply necessary dialogue about the emotional struggles many men face behind closed doors. Joined by Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor, Trent shares his powerful journey—from chasing NFL dreams to losing his sense of self, battling depression, and ultimately rediscovering purpose through pain. He opens up about the crushing pressure to appear strong, the stigma around vulnerability, and how real strength lies not in silence, but in healing. Trent recounts the darkest moment in his life—when he nearly gave up—and how one glimmer of hope helped him fight his way back. Together, the guys chat about life after sports, identity crises, the importance of mental health, and how Trent transformed his lowest point into a movement with his powerful message: “It's Rehab Time.” Inspired by the tragic loss of a close friend to suicide, Trent turned pain into purpose, creating a platform for healing and growth. The episode takes an even more personal turn as Channing opens up about grieving the loss of his father, Fred reflects on the weight of quiet moments, and Ryan shares his thoughts on life's next chapter. The conversation is unfiltered, vulnerable, and incredibly moving—a testament to the power of speaking truth, facing pain, and finding strength through faith, family, and brotherhood. Whether you're an athlete, a father, or a man struggling in silence—this conversation is for you. We all have had pivotal moments and know others going through it, we hope this episode serves as a beacon of light for anyone who may need it.

Before this episode, I tried to record twice. Both times, I was trying to sound like what I thought a podcaster should be. Motivational. Polished. Perfect. But it wasn't me. This right here? This was the first real one. No fancy mic, no ring light—just me, in a closet, recording on an Android with a gaming headset, talking to save myself. I was a sergeant on the outside, but broken and lost behind closed doors. In honor of Men's Mental Health Awareness, I'm remastering “Find Your Peace”—the episode that helped me stop pretending and start healing. I hope it brings you the same clarity it gave me when I hit record and finally decided to be real.

Send us a textEver wondered how to motivate a seemingly unmotivated child? Dr. Susan Thomas, accomplished school psychologist and parent, tackles this universal parenting challenge with refreshing honesty and practical wisdom. Drawing from decades of professional experience and personal parenting trials, she reveals that motivation isn't about finding the perfect reward—it's about discovering what genuinely resonates with your unique child.  The conversation takes a powerful turn as Dr. Thomas introduces her "AAA" method for handling peer mistreatment (gotta listen to hear it, hehe), and technology emerges as a central theme throughout the discussion, with Dr. Thomas identifying excessive screen time as one of the most significant challenges facing today's children. The episode concludes with perhaps the most valuable parenting strategy of all—establishing trusted adults outside the immediate family who share your values and can serve as safe resources for your children when they find themselves in challenging situations. Subscribe now for more parenting insights that blend professional expertise with real-world application!

I would love to hear how this episode impacted you.In this enlightening episode of the Shields Down, we explore the transformative concept of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) and its profound impact on first responders. Often confronted with challenging and traumatic situations, first responders have unique experiences that can lead to significant personal development and a renewed perspective on life. We begin by understanding PTG, delving into how struggling with adversity can result in positive psychological changes. You'll learn that growth doesn't negate the distress of traumatic events but uses it as a catalyst for change—leading to stronger relationships, increased resilience, and a deeper appreciation for life. The conversation then shifts to embracing the journey of healing, acknowledging that it's not a linear path but one that requires patience, self-compassion, and a willingness to face challenges head-on. We discuss the importance of building a supportive community, the power of mindfulness and self-awareness, and how transforming adversity into an opportunity can foster profound personal growth. Finally, we offer practical ways to foster growth in daily life. This includes strategies like reframing negative experiences to find lessons and strengths, incorporating gratitude to enhance emotional resilience, and seeking support while developing a growth mindset. An engaging exercise encourages personal reflection, helping you recognize small signs of growth and reinforcing the possibility of development amidst difficulty.Join us as we navigate from merely surviving to truly thriving, providing valuable insights and tools to support your journey towards Post-Traumatic Growth. Support the showOptions For Connection:Websitehttps://www.ptsd-transformation.com/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shields_down/Private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/ptsdtransformationacademyFree PDF "Understanding Your PTSD: Go from Surviving to Thriving"https://www.ptsd-transformation.com/understand-ptsd-pdf Free Monthly Newsletters (Right to your inbox)https://www.ptsd-transformation.com/newsletteroptin Support is hereptsdtransformation@gmail.com DisclaimerI want to remind you that this Podcast is my opinion and my teachings, in no way does it replace a licenced Mental health professional, if you feel that you are in a place where you need that support reach out to someone and get it.

May is Mental Health Awareness month. A topic that is near and dear to each of the hosts, Lindsay, Mox and Ashlee discuss the topic of mental health, representation and resources for listeners. 

Dan Lester, Vice President of Field Culture and Inclusion at Clayco, brings a powerful voice to the conversation around mental health in the construction industry. Focusing on total health and well-being, Dan emphasizes that mental health is about managing everyday and extreme stress.  Dan shares findings from a 2024 Clayco study showing that 54% of tradespeople reported anxiety or depression in the past year, yet many still feel ashamed to talk about it. Dan attributes this to stigma, pride, and the male-dominated nature of the industry. He stresses the importance of psychological safety and creating spaces where vulnerability is welcomed.  Through practical initiatives like wellness zones, mandatory fatigue days, and leadership modeling, Dan advocates for a cultural shift in the industry. His message is clear: mental health matters and proactive support can save lives and improve job performance!   HIGHLIGHTS [03:22] Mental Health Awareness in Construction  [10:58] Impact of Mental Health on Job Performance  [15:15] Effective Communication and Support  [36:36] Leadership and Cultural Change  [44:51] Practical Steps for Companies   KEY TAKEAWAYS Be vocal and visible about mental health—leaders should model openness and vulnerability. Set up wellness zones and encourage psychological safety on job sites. Promote tools like Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), Man Therapy, and the Construction Industry Alliance for Suicide Prevention.

In this conversation, Nick Thompson speaks with Cassandra Musumeci and Andrea Rockefeller, licensed mental health counselors and co-founders of the Human Therapist Community.    They discuss their personal journeys to becoming therapists, the motivation behind creating a supportive community for therapists, and the challenges of navigating virtual therapy during the pandemic and now as a new normal.   The conversation also explores the impact of social media on therapy, the importance of setting boundaries, and the necessity of self-care among therapists.    They emphasize the humanity of therapists and the importance of creating a safe space for connection and collaboration.   As the discussion progresses, many other topics are explored, including how therapists are perceived as experts and the responsibilities that come with this role, how social media both helps and harms the mental health community, and how they strive to achieve their goal of humanizing therapists.   Chapters   00:00 Introduction to the Human Therapist Community 02:01 Personal Journeys to Becoming Therapists 04:00 Transitioning to Private Practice 08:10 Building Connections in a Virtual World 11:16 The Motivation Behind the Human Therapist Community 14:42 Navigating Virtual Therapy 18:55 The Role of Social Media in Therapy 22:59 The Impact of TikTok on Mental Health Awareness 28:07 Ethics and Challenges of Social Media for Therapists 31:29 Navigating Leadership and Imposter Syndrome 32:51 The Impact of Cancel Culture 36:52 Self-Reflection and Online Interactions 38:47 Building Resilience in the Face of Criticism 44:11 Creating a Supportive Community for Therapists 48:24 Setting Boundaries in Therapy Practice 56:08 Engaging with the Therapist Community through Book Clubs Find Cassandra & Andrea here: Instagrams: https://www.instagram.com/yourhumantherapists/ | https://www.instagram.com/yournytherapists/  Website: https://www.humantherapists.com/  LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/yourhumantherapists    Find Nick Thompson here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nthompson513/ |  https://www.instagram.com/the_ucan_foundation/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EyesWideOpenContent  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickthompson13/    UCAN Foundation: https://theucanfoundation.org/  Website: https://www.engagewithnick.com/   

Send us a textDrawing from her extensive experience as a special education teacher, Dr. Thomas explains that effective behavior support isn't about punishment—it's about setting clear, understandable expectations that children can meet. “I've got to be able to see it and count it,” she emphasizes, pointing out that vague instructions like “be respectful” don't provide children with the specific guidance they need to succeed.Instead, she offers practical tools like the SLANT method for active listening—Sit tall, Lean forward, Acknowledge the speaker, Nod, Track the speaker—to demonstrate how breaking behaviors into observable, measurable actions creates a strong foundation for lifelong success.Want to transform how you support your child's behavior at home and in school?Tune in now for powerful insights that can shift your parenting approach and help your child build essential life skills.

May is Mental Health Awareness month. Like most matters that get highlighted with a month's recognition, there is a story to be told. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Ron Messner and Ted Witzig Jr. join to tell the story. A story that has loving as Jesus loves at its center.  The story of mental health can be told from two perspectives: a societal understanding of mental health and the care that comes from that understanding. 

Chef Andre Rush is an esteemed White House chef, U.S. Army combat veteran, and passionate mental health advocate. Known for his viral 22 push-ups a day campaign spotlighting veteran suicide awareness, Chef Rush combines military discipline with culinary artistry and a heart for service. Having turned adversity into purpose, he’s been recognized with countless accolades—from the Veterans Hall of Fame induction to national honors for suicide prevention. His life’s mission transcends the kitchen, inspiring millions to keep going, never give up, and support one another—whether in the military, through tragedy, or in everyday life. Takeaways: Purpose Through Service: Chef Rush emphasizes that his drive comes from having “no choice” but to serve—turning pain and loss into a relentless mission to uplift others and raise mental health awareness. The Power of Checking In: Both the host and Chef Rush highlight the importance of simply reaching out, reminding listeners that small gestures—like a text or a call—can mean everything to someone struggling. Redefining Strength: Chef Rush’s story proves that true strength isn’t just physical; it’s found in resilience, perseverance, and being vulnerable enough to seek help and lift others up. Sound Bites: “Keep going. Never give up. You can do anything.” “Instead of saying survivor’s remorse, it’s survivor’s strive—it’s a remembrance to remind everyone that life is short.” “You don’t have to be the person going through it to help. You can be the person that checks in.” Mick’s Quote: “If your heart is beating, you have more to give, you have more to do.” Connect & Discover Heather: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realchefrush/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChefRush TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chefrush Website: https://chefrush.com/ Book: Call Me Chef, Dammit!
