Episode 3039: Ira Israel explores OCD through the lens of emotional survival, suggesting that compulsive behaviors often begin as a young mind's attempt to regain safety and control after trauma. By tracing obsessive thoughts back to their emotional origins, he offers a compassionate framework for understanding healing, self-awareness, and the possibility of releasing patterns that no longer serve us. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://iraisrael.com/at-some-point-in-time-your-ocd-was-a-solution-to-a-problem/ Quotes to ponder: "OCD is not something that anyone is born with. It is a reaction. It is your younger mind's best shot at solving a traumatic problem." "At some point in time these thoughts and behaviors were your young mind's solution to a problem." "The defense mechanisms that my mind created to stave off another incapacitating situation incapacitated me in sundry ways for many years."

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.

A dive into the world of friendship with our latest "Friends Like Us" podcast episode! Marina Franklin host special guests Sharaé Nikai and David Lassiter as they talk about their incredible journey creating "The Other Gold" — a film about friendships' complexities. Watch it now on Apple TV and Tubi! Sharaé Nikai - Against industry odds, Jersey City native Sharaé Nikai wrote, produced, co-directed and starred in her very first feature film, "The Other, Gold." It is a heartfelt dramedy that follows a TV writer living in Little Tokyo as she navigates grief, isolation and the rekindling of a former BFF-ship. Out of 13,016 submissions, TOG was invited to world premiere as one of only 10 films in Tribeca's US Narrative Competition. This acclaim led to Nikai being in consideration for the 2025 Oscars, Spirit Awards and Emmys in the Outstanding Television Movie, Directing & Lead Actress categories. It also makes her the first Black female quadruple threat (sole writer/producer, director & star) to qualify for the Academy Awards with no studio or major production company backing. As a producer, Sharaé secured an exclusive Mental Health Awareness partnership for "The Other, Gold" at FOX-owned Tubi and sponsorship for its launch by Women in Film (WIF) and The Entertainment Community Fund. In March 2026, "The Other, Gold" was released worldwide in celebration of Women's History Month exclusively on Apple TV. In addition to TOG, Nikai appears in numerous ad campaigns, films and TV series including Grey's Anatomy and opposite Alison Brie in Sundance's "Horse Girl" (The DuPlass Bros/Netflix). Currently, she is the 2026 international voice of Nordstrom Rack all while developing her dramedy driven TV/film slate. In her spare time, Sharaé takes serious pride in the accent mark over her "e" and is the reigning (read: self-proclaimed) trap karaoke queen. David Lassiter is an American filmmaker, actor, writer, and musician from Jersey City, New Jersey. He co-directed and appeared in the feature film The Other, Gold (2024), which premiered at the Tribeca Festival before streaming on Apple TV+ and Tubi. Before transitioning into filmmaking, Lassiter worked as a fashion model and was signed to Wilhelmina Models, appearing in campaigns and editorial work for brands and publications including Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Vogue, GQ, Banana Republic, Swatch, and Levi's. He later studied acting in New York at HB Studio, Susan Batson Studio, and WB Workshops while appearing in national campaigns for Verizon, Macy's, and American Eagle. Lassiter also collaborated with Viacom on street-interview segments featured on MTV and MTV2. Always hosted by Marina Franklin - One Hour Comedy Special: Single Black Female ( Amazon Prime, CW Network), TBS's The Last O.G, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Hysterical on FX, The Movie Trainwreck, Louie Season V, The Jim Gaffigan Show, Conan O'Brien, Stephen Colbert, HBO's Crashing, and The Breaks with Michelle Wolf.

We're closing out Part 1 of Season 6 with an episode about something near and dear to our hearts, and oh-so-important in rural and ag communities: mental health.  For Mental Health Awareness Month, Rebecca sits down with therapist Chris Swenson — owner of Rhino Wellness Center and host of the Rhino Resilience podcast — to reframe what strength really looks like in rural communities. (Yes, we know that May is technically Mental Health Awareness Month, but we recorded this episode in May, so it counts, right?) Chris breaks down his four-pillar Rhino Resilience framework, explains mental health as biology (a regulated nervous system with an accelerator and a brake), and shares practical, do-anywhere tools for staying calm and steady. It's a warm, honest reminder about some pretty important things: you can be both strong and struggling, that you're not broken, and that connection is what pulls us out of isolation. About Chris: Chris "Rhino" Swenson is a licensed mental health therapist, speaker, and founder of Rhino Resilience. For more than 20 years, he has worked with rural individuals, families, and communities, helping people build practical resilience skills for the challenges of modern rural life. He hosts the Rhino Resilience Podcast and is passionate about strengthening rural communities from the inside out. In this episode, we cover: Why rural suicide rates run two and a half to three and a half times higher than urban areas (why awareness alone isn't enough without practical next steps) Chris's four pillars of Rhino Resilience and how they redefine strength to include recovery and reaching out (not going it alone) How understanding your nervous system as biology (an accelerator and a brake) can dissolve the stigma around mental health Simple, accessible tools you can practice anywhere — breathwork, micro-resets, and grounding — and why you have to build them before you need them How a single moment can can a life Links + Resources Mentioned: Website: https://rhinoresilience.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCso1ch-Kaa_2IXZPJSZFZoQ FB page: https://www.facebook.com/RhinoResilienceOfficial Podcast: https://rhinoresilience.com/podcast/ Want to get your business in front of our audience?

Most people don't fear change itself — they fear the moment before they know if they're going to be okay. And according to Dr. Jimmie Williamson, that gap between uncertainty and clarity is where organizations either hold their people together or quietly lose them. In this episode of Your Health University, Jamie sits down with Dr. Jimmie Williamson, Chief Behavioral Health Officer at Your Health, in the middle of a real organizational merger — making this conversation as timely and personal as it gets. Dr. Williamson draws on decades of clinical experience, behavioral health expertise, and his own career pivots (including leaving a 28-year career to step into healthcare) to walk us through what change actually does to the human brain and body — and what it takes to move through it well. Key topics include: Why even positive change triggers a physiological threat response — and what science says is actually happening in your brain The five stages of change people move through (shock, resistance, exploration, and beyond) and why getting stuck isn't a character flaw Dr. David Rock's SCARF model — the five psychological domains (Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, Fairness) that determine whether people feel safe or threatened during transitions What leaders most commonly get wrong when communicating change — and the one mistake that always creates a narrative vacuum Why insecurity in leadership is more dangerous than the change itself The one self-care practice you can start today if you're feeling the weight of uncertainty Change is positive. It is good. And it is inevitable. This episode will help you believe that — and act like it. www.YourHealth.Org

In this episode, host Johanna Dunlevy sits down with mental health advocate and commercial real estate broker Matt Connolly to discuss his personal journey as someone who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Matt shares what it was like to live with untreated symptoms for more than a decade, the circumstances that led to him receiving his diagnosis, and how medication, support, and wellness practices have helped him remain symptom-free for more than 20 years. The conversation explores the stigma that still surrounds mental illness as well as the value of open conversations, not only about mental health, but other topics as well. He also discusses the important work being done through Mindspring Health to educate and support individuals, families, and communities.

How are scars from nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) different than physical scars that are unintentional or result from non-self-inflicted wounds ? What psychological effects can result from daily reminders of one's own decision to self-harm? Is there an association between NSSI scars and suicidal thoughts and behaviors? In this episode, Dr. Burke discusses the mixed relationship that many people who self-injure have with the scars they bear from NSSI and how some may feel the need to hide their scars even from themselves.  Learn more about Dr. Burke and her work by clicking here or visiting the Mood & Behavior Lab (MABL) at www.moodandbehaviorlab.org.

In this deeply meaningful episode of The She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison Walsh sits down with pediatric psychologist Dr. Chloe Barry of AdventHealth for Children and radio personality Sondra Rae from Johnny's House on XL106.7 for an honest conversation about childhood mental health, emotional regulation, parenting, resilience, and the growing need for emotional wellness support in today's world.

None of that matters though. None of it at all. It doesn’t change the fact that sometimes inside of our heads, we’re just not doing well. Our mental health is critical to not only our lives, the lives of the people we live with and work with and the lives that we touch. 00:32Hello and welcome to the Mindset and Self Mastery Show. I’m your host, Nick McGowan. Today on the show, I wanna talk about mental health because May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Now I wish Mental Health Awareness Month was every single month, but in some ways it really is. Every single month, every single week, every single day, minute, an hour even, I think our mental health plays a major part and role of the work that we do in the world. 00:59how we move throughout the world, the things that we do. And I want to touch on something that a lot of people will bring up at times, sometimes clients, sometimes even guests when we’re talking, be it on the show or after the fact, but people at times will think I’m broken. I’ve thought that before too. I felt that many, many times actually that I am just straight up broken. And what that really comes from is me just not knowing what is broken or off. 01:29It’s not that I’m broken, it’s that there are things that just feel broken or don’t feel like they’re working really as well as I want them to. You may experience that and you may not. I assume most people that listen to this show probably experience a good chunk of the things that we talk about on the show, either just on the solo episodes or with guests. A lot of us go through the stuff where on the surface we look really great. It looks like we’re living life, we’re enjoying. 01:56We’re successful in whatever we’re doing. We have our families, our friends, we have all the things that for the most part really go really well with social media. People will look on social media and see that you have your family and your friends and your hobbies and your life and your car and your this and that, blah, blah, blah. None of that matters though. Actually, none of it at all. mean, having some friends and some family and people that care about you, that absolutely matters. 02:26having hobbies and things that are important to you, that absolutely matters. And what I mean by it doesn’t matter is that it doesn’t change the fact that sometimes inside of our heads, we’re just not doing well. And I’m really glad that May is the month for that. The reason why I say I’m glad for that is because May is sort of like the beginning of spring to me. Where I grew up in Pennsylvania, we saw all four seasons of the year. 02:55And it was awesome. Literally three months for every single quarter was a new season. Obviously there were some overlap at times or whatever, but I pretty much always saw a season and could always expect that the new season was going to come. When I moved around the country, not as much in Oregon, but specifically in Florida and in New Mexico, don’t always see all of those seasons, especially in Florida. It’s basically like, 03:24spring sometimes in the morning, sometimes it’s winter in the morning for an hour, and then it’s just summer pretty much the rest of the day, even when it’s a different season. But mentally, our season can last a lot longer. We can be mentally disrupted, we can be hurt, we can be unsure of what’s going on or really fighting with things that are still inside of us that are still processing. 03:52or need to be fully processed from things that have happened from sometimes decades ago. So I bring up the fact that I have thought this and other people have, and you most likely have as well, that we are broken in some sort of way. I want to challenge that. What if you’re not broken? But what if you’re just patterned in such a way? Now our brains and specifically our subconscious is there to be able to protect us. 04:22and to keep us safe and keep us moving and active. And for the most part, when we feel like we’re broken, that pattern that we’re looking for that will get us out of something is really hard when we’re stuck in a pattern. Just our overall way of thinking about things. You know, those people that are typically real, uh real shitty about something, or just seem to always be upset and pissed off. 04:51I want to guarantee that that’s probably not their natural state. could give you an example with myself. There are times where you can absolutely tell if I’m irritated. And there are times where I don’t really understand that I’m irritated because there’s something that’s going on in the background. Now, I’ve done a lot of work with this. those triggers and things that come up, I’m more aware of that, but there are still things that just creep along and I’m unaware of just being irritated. Even at a slight level, I know that I am. 05:20but I don’t know what the thing is yet. So I need to work on it, work through it, et cetera. When we’re stuck in our patterns and we can’t get out of those patterns because we can’t see that we’re stuck in them, then we’re just perpetually there. So that person who is constantly pissed off or shitty or annoying, again, that’s probably not their natural state. There’s something that’s holding them back. There’s something that’s keeping them that way. And I bring up that you probably know these people because just about every single one of us does. 05:49that there’s somebody, maybe it’s a family member or a coworker or something, you’re like, ah, that’s just how they are. They’re just naturally irritated. No, that’s probably not the case. Like myself, I am naturally joyous and like a little kid, just excited about things. But when I’m irritated and I’m not feeling so well mentally specifically, then I’m not like that at all. I’m just really irritable and not very fun to be around. 06:18And again, I’ve worked on that over the course of my life and specifically over these past few years, but still I can almost guarantee some family and friends and people that know me closely are like, yeah, there are certain times where just stay the fuck away from him. And that doesn’t sit well with me. I don’t like that people would feel that way. Or if somebody would say, well, I don’t want to go anywhere near him because he’s constantly angry or whatever else. have been different times where I’ve been really 06:47upset about things that are going on in life. From a mental health perspective, just not doing well at all. Again, because of those patterns, the way that I’ve thought about things, the way that I’ve looked at things, and the way that I just get stuck in those patterns. Because our mental health really stems from those habitual thought patterns. Everything we do will come through that lens in a sense. 07:13of what is it that we normally think about? How do we normally go about this? And what’s the best approach with what’s going on right now? And there are certain times it doesn’t logically make sense to us because we’re just basing things off of those patterns. This also ties into our cognitive processes and our overall behaviors. All of this ties together because when we think about things and we’re in a bad spot mentally, then the way that we react or respond to the world 07:42physically or even emotionally or really any sort of way is all going to tie back to the overall mindset and the overall mental health that we’re currently working through. with May being mental health awareness month, I wanted to really shine light specifically on mental health. Now the awareness month has actually been an awareness month for mental health since 1949, which I got to be honest, when I first read that I was shocked. 08:10Because this isn’t something that I thought about for May for most of my life. It seems like there’s a national day for just about everything. There’s a national month that coincides with other national months. Like I’m pretty sure May is also several other things for national months. And that’s totally fine because again, we only have 12 of those months and I get that. But this is a thing that I’d never really knew about growing up because most people didn’t really talk about it. 08:40I was born in the early 80s. So by the early 90s and even early 2000s, people weren’t talking about these things as much. There was a little bit more in the early 2000s, especially in the middle 2000s, et cetera, where people really started to have more of these conversations. And I think mostly because of my generation, that we’re like, hold up, time help. What happened was not cool. We need to do something about this. And I’m really glad that we have this month to be able to talk about this because 09:08as we go into the rest of spring, into the summer, fall, winter, et cetera, throughout the rest of the year, want you to be mindful of your overall mental health. And you might say, Nick, that’s a lot to just be mindful of because every single day there’s something going on. And I get that. That’s also why I bring it up, is to be mindful throughout each day of what’s happening. How are you feeling? What are you thinking? And not beating yourself up about the things that are going on. 09:38just letting yourself flow through it. I’ll be real personal with you right now. I’m actively going through a pretty difficult and challenging chapter of my life. And over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been going through this with my own mental health to be mindful of what are you feeling right now? What are you thinking right now? Sometimes I need to take a 20 minute break and just play my acoustic guitar or go walk outside for a minute or talk to a family member. 10:08because there’s just stuff that’s going on that I just need to talk with somebody about. Or also my mental health coach or my other practitioners that I work with. Now it’s not like I can just pick up the phone and call them instantly because they’re professionals and they have other clients and all that sort of stuff. But I’m going through this as well. And with May being Mental Health Awareness Month, think it’s important for us to just be aware of what is going on with our mental health. Now, the whole point to Mental Health Awareness Month in May, 10:37is to be able to bring awareness to not only our mental health, but the different resources and stigmas and just all the things that are out there about that and just keep the conversation going. But from this perspective for you, I want you to just be mindful of your mental health. That’s it. It’s really easy. Think about just how you’re feeling mentally and what’s going on in your head. A good thing that I’ve started to do, I’d say over the past year or so. 11:06is once I wake up, I ask myself, how are you doing? How are you feeling? Are you good or are you shitty? Because I’ve realized that part of my being is I can be in a really good spot as soon as I wake up, of like jump out of bed and be ready to go, or I cannot be in such a great spot. And typically it’s because of the things that happened or didn’t happen the day before. Did I get enough time to spend me time? Did I spend enough time on the things I wanted to? Did I feel fulfilled in the stuff that I did? 11:35And sometimes that just doesn’t line up. So it lingers and just drags over. So by the time I get into the next day, it’s still there. It’s kind of nagging at me in a sense. So for mental health awareness month, let’s just be aware of our mental health. Let’s figure out what’s going on and then work through it step by step by step. It doesn’t have to be a big thing where you say, oh, I’m in such a terrible spot. I need to talk to 40,000 people and I need to. 12:05process all these things for like nine hours a day. You absolutely can, but you may not need to. Just being aware of what’s going on can sometimes be good enough to get you to the spot where you say, I need a little more help in this area. I found that with myself and I’ve even found that with clients. They’ll get to a point where they go, you know what? This keeps coming back. This is a pattern. This is the thing that I no longer want to be a part of my life. Okay. So what do I do? 12:34Who do I talk to? How do I go about this? What has to happen next? And letting yourself be in the flow of that and just taking each day step by step. Instead of saying I need to be fixed and everything needs to be done right now. Sure, you can feel that way. It’s really not gonna do anything for you. So if you just take today and say, how am I feeling mentally? How am I doing right now? What’s going on? What do I feel is still back there that 13:03is just not letting me be happy right now and being able to take a small step today. So our mental health is critical to our overall wellbeing. Sometimes we can think past that. Sometimes we can just put dirt on it, keep going. We don’t want to bypass things, but I do understand that there are certain times where we just can’t dig into everything right now. Maybe you don’t have 20 minutes in a day where you can just sit down and play guitar or work on a hobby or go walk outside for a minute or so. 13:32Maybe you do, maybe a lot of time. And maybe that’s what sort of the problem is that there’s a lot of time and you’re unsure of what to do next. And you’re just kind of stuck with yourself as we are mentally aware of our mental health. We also need to be aware of what’s going on throughout the rest of our lives and start to take inventory of does that align with us? Again, you may not have 20 minutes a day to be able to just work on some hobby or something that’s important to you. So I ask. 14:02How do you then find that 20 minutes a day? Because that is really critically important. The better we are mentally, the better we are just in every other way. Now, obviously our physical body is not always tied to our mental body. You you get what I mean. But in all reality, what we do in our head ties into how our physical body moves or doesn’t move. There have been times where I’ve been depressed and I’ve gone through some 14:31really dark moments. There are times that I’ve had those dark moments throughout the course of the podcast. You can actually see some of that and how I’ve looked at different times and just haven’t felt good. And I’ll use that as a good example. There have been times where I’ve realized that I’m not feeling good mentally and gaining more weight and therefore I really don’t want to just go work out. And it’s like this vicious cycle. I’ve also learned that there are at times some chemical deficiencies. 15:01vitamin deficiencies, some different things that are happening and I’ve Seeked medical help and at times it’s helped at times It’s also just been like no everything’s good on this end So there’s something else to go through and work through and for us to actually spend that time with ourselves as Uncomfortable as it can be to say, okay This is what I’m feeling right now. Let me just be straight and honest with myself and then from there start to figure out 15:30What do need to do with it? My goal with this show just overall, and I say this to my guests when they come on, is that for you to get anything out of this, I want you to be able to hear from the authentic side of what we talk about, be it myself or with the guests. Like we need to get real to the fucking things that have happened and the situations and how we actually handle that. I bring that up because I at times have literally pushed things off to let future Nick deal with it. 15:59And then future Nick most often gets pissed off at past Nick because if past Nick just did something about it, future Nick would not have to be dealing with it. Same goes for you. So if you just push things off and just bypass them, they will end up coming back and then you’ll have to work on them at another point. But if you’re having a hard time right now working on the things, then I want you to be able to take from this that you’re not alone and to just continue to do the work day in and day out and things will pop up for you. 16:29resources. Maybe this is a great show for resources for you. People that you can connect with, practitioners, friends that are going through similar things. Sometimes we don’t know that until we actually have those conversations. So that’s what I to bring up next. I want you to be able to talk to people, people that you feel safe to talk to, and also allow yourself to step outside of your comfort zone because you never know who you can really be safe with in your circles. 16:59I do want you to be able to tie into your intuition and understand, this person is definitely not safe to talk to about just about anything. And if there are things that you need to do to process being able to have a conversation with that person or some things that they’ve done to you in the past or what have you, then do that work. There are also other people out there that are just waiting for permission for themselves to share as well. And by you opening up how you’re doing, 17:27without dumping onto people, but sharing this is where I’m at right now. That’ll allow them to then say, you know, I’ve gone through something similar or I’ve been real hesitant to say this to anybody else, but I’ve been going through this for the past month or two months or what have you. And being able to start conversation and that starts to heal ourselves and those other people. I’ll give you an example. A few weeks ago, when uh this difficult chapter of mine was starting, I was in a 17:56tough spot to figure out what are next moves. And next moves may have literally looked like a 1500, 2000 mile physical move. And at one point I was hanging out with a couple of friends. We were talking about some things and just having a really great conversation, great time. And I felt totally overwhelmed. Stole off to my office and had a panic attack. I don’t have them very often. 18:26But when I do, I’ve not handled them the best in the past because I didn’t exactly know what was going on. I just thought I was shutting down and dying. if you’ve had them, you can understand. But this time I knew what was going on. I knew to step away. I knew to do my breathing. I have a song that I listened to. It’s by Marconi Union called Waitless. It’s like a 10 hour long song. 18:53but it’s actually been documented to help relieve anxiety. So I took some time to myself, breathe, let myself calm down, let it work through me, saw eye eye with it with what was actually going on. And I was gone for maybe 20 minutes, a half hour. I went back into the spot with my friends and both of them asked me like, hey man, you all right? Like you just kind of disappeared. I was like, yeah, I just need to go have a panic attack, but I’m all right now. And I knew that 19:21saying this to my friends, they are my friends, but they are relatively newer friends, that there’s a chance for them to go, oh, what a little bitch or whatever. They could have said fucking anything at all about me stealing off to have a panic attack. I’m sure it would have been a little bit of a different thing if I did it right there, but they didn’t. They actually opened up a bit about themselves, that they had been going through some things. The one guy went through something about a month and a half, two months ago. 19:50Another one was working on trying to get their anxiety medication that had problems being shipped to them. And that just opened up the conversation. That conversation didn’t turn into a six hour long kumbaya session. It was maybe another five, 10 minutes before we all got back into the stuff that we were doing and talking about other things and what was going on. But in all reality, the idea that I was able to open the door to that conversation gave permission. 20:18not only to myself to do it more often, but to those people to be able to do it back and also to be able to pass that along. So in May and the coming months, the more that we are aware of what is going on with our mental health and the more that we understand what we are at our core, just like I understand at my core, I’m joyous and just naturally curious, then we can start to see how we’re off in certain ways. And again, you’re not broken. 20:48You’re just patterned and we need to be able to break out of those patterns and change those patterns, but also be able to look at what’s going on and be aware of those things to then say, all right, well, how do I want to control this? There are times where people have told me can’t really control your mental health, just like there are times where people have said you can’t mindset your way through everything. And I agree with both. I also think that both are critically important with how we maneuver ourselves throughout all of life. And I think if we can be understanding of ourselves, 21:18We can have an understanding of what’s going on and where things come from. We can be aware of those things. We can then start to take actions, whatever that action needs to look like. Sometimes it’s a really small action. Sometimes it’s a multi-hour deep subconscious processing session. Sometimes it’s a mixture, but whatever that looks like, needs to just look like that for you. So just being aware of your mental health and being aware of the things that are feeling off will then help you then be aware of 21:48What are the culprits here? And what’s the catalyst of that? And what do I do from this point? So I want to leave you with a few tactics in a sense that have helped me over the course of, I’d say the past five, 10 years, really managing my mental health and being able to understand how to manage my day to day while managing my mental health. First is awareness. If you’re not aware of something, you cannot understand 22:16what’s going on with the thing because you are not aware that it’s even there. awareness is something we can work on. We can be really aware of how we’re feeling and what’s going on. And I think the easiest way to be able to do that is once we sense something, instead of just pushing past it or bypassing, we can get really, really close to it by going, all right, what’s happening right now? What am I feeling right this second? Like literally take 22:46the five, 10, 15 seconds, whatever it is. And if you can’t, because you’re in the middle of a meeting or you’re working with your kids or whatever’s going on, you can take a mental note of that. Maybe even just jot that down in your phone or something and go back to it. Go, all right, well, this happened. What was I feeling? I was feeling this. Why would I feel that? And start to work through it like you would if you were talking to a friend. If you called one of your good friends and said, hey, this situation happened. Can I process this with you? Can you work with me on it? 23:16It would go short. What happened? Who was there? What was the thing? What did this look like? How did you feel with that? What did you want to do next? Like all of those questions. And this is a rule book sort of thing where you have to follow these five or 10 questions. Just start to ask yourself the questions because the more aware that you become, the more aware you can see the different situations and things that need to happen. And you go, okay, well, I’ve seen this over and over. 23:44I don’t like how I feel with it. So what do I do from here? And there are certain things you can do on your own. I have a ton of resources, obviously within the podcast. There’s a ton of stuff on YouTube. There’s a ton of stuff everywhere. And then there are practitioners and people that can physically and emotionally, mentally help you with all of this. So awareness is absolutely critical. Another thing that has really helped me is breathing. That might sound really simple because we all do it every single day, but concentrated breathing. 24:14Again, when I had my panic attack recently, that was one of the main things that I felt inside of me, is you need to concentrate on your breathing. And I’ve felt that before, and I’ve even told myself that before. Times where I’ll breathe for a few in, a few out or whatever, and just get irritated by it because I’ve had a hard time just sitting in the spot that I’m in. One of the things that really helps me is simple breathing. Five, four, three, two, one. 24:43The way that I do it is I do five in, five out, four in, four out, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And by the time I get to the two and the one, it’s kind of just in and out, in and out. And then I’ll start over again and I’ll go a little slower and I’ll do that maybe two or three times. Literally one, maybe two of those cycles is enough to be able to reset us, at least for me. So I’d like you to try that. Get to a point where you’re like, I am really at my wit’s end. 25:11Five, four, three, two, one. Five in, five out, four in, four out, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. By time you get through one or two of those cycles, you’ve regulated yourself a bit. You’ve at least curbed it a little bit and you get to then be able to move from there. And the last two could almost be one, changing your state and moving your body. Changing your state can look like if you’re sitting here having a conversation and something’s really 25:41upsetting you or you’re having a conversation with yourself or you’re trying to figure out what’s going on, don’t just stay stuck in that same spot. Literally get up. If you need to go do jumping jacks or run around the building or just simply walk out of the space and walk back, you start to move your body and you get out of that actual space that you’re in. Sometimes it also really helps to literally go move your body. 26:10Go work out, go to the gym, go for a bike ride, go do something that’s physically exerting to be able to get that energy to move through you a bit, but you don’t wanna bypass it. So I look at it like this. Now it may not be super easy for you to do this depending on your schedule, but there are times where I will feel I just need to go move. And I’ll go to the gym and I will either do the elliptical because I just need to move and really 26:41just get into a rhythm of moving, but still want to spend the time thinking or processing through things. There are other times where I’ll do more weights and then, know, cardio and stuff. But throughout that whole period, I will allow myself to feel where I’m at and also allow the things to come up that I can then process through them. Or I can say, ah, this is the thing I really need some help with. I need to talk to my mental health practitioner, or I need to talk to my subconscious processing person, or I need to… 27:11do some EMDR to be able to work through some of these past situations that are then coming up. But by moving our bodies, there are things that are going on. It’s also moving blood and oxygen and all of that, which again goes back to what I said earlier. There’ve been times where I felt depressed, I got heavier, didn’t want to work out, and it was just this big cycle. And there are certain things that can be outside of just your mental health. There can be actual physical things that are happening, especially as you get older. 27:41And some of those things are newer because you’ve never been that age. So you don’t know. And then you start to kind of learn from there. So moving our bodies and also changing our state and sometimes simultaneously can really help us be able to start to work that stuff out of our system. And I found that it also helps us understand if we can process that stuff on our own or do we need somebody else to be able to help us with this? appreciate you spending the time. 28:10watch or listen to this. And I hope that this has been helpful for you. It is May and this is when we are to be aware of our mental health. However, my challenge to you is to not just let it be May, let it be the rest of your life. Take the next month, two months, six months, et cetera, to be able to really be honest with yourself and your mental health and to be aware of what’s going on. And if you need to take some steps to speak with somebody, 28:40If it’s mentoring, I can certainly help. Please feel free to reach out. If you need some practitioner help and want some resources, I’d love to be able to share what I know and be able to point you in the direction. There’s also a lot of people I’m sure that you know that can potentially point you in directions that they’ve used. But for you to be able to figure out what feels right for you and what you want to be able to do takes us to be aware of what’s going on. And our mental health is critical to not only our lives, 29:10the lives of the people we live with and work with, and the lives that we touch. So again, thank you for spending your time with me today. I hope this helps. And if you have any questions or you’d want me to dig deeper in any of this, please let me know. 29:29Thanks for listening to today’s episode. What did you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Leadership is often viewed through the lens of decisiveness. Direct orders and quick thinking. But the most impactful modern leaders are those who prioritize collaboration, and remain present in their leadership roles.I've been thinking about the future, and today's junior Marines are different: researchers, thinkers, and seekers of authenticity. They aren't afraid to ask the hard questions. In this candid conversation, Sergeant Major Carlos Ruiz and I explore why leaders must shift from issuing orders to showing genuine interest and investing in an individual Marine's life through the "one Marine" theory: how a single individual can turn an entire battalion around.Whether discussing the evolution of "field day" or the weight of addressing mental health and fitness, Carlos emphasizes that the Marine Corps is a tribe that must constantly be taught its ethics, its culture, and its worth. We talked about executive presence, senior enlisted slating, and the "Message to Garcia" mindset. Today's leadership has a mandate to ensure every Marine whether staying in or transitioning out is prepared for the life that follows their service. Watch the full video episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Ip9JCSQ7x5U

Loneliness is increasingly being recognized not simply as a social issue, but as a major threat to public health. Cardiologist and behavioral medicine pioneer Dr. Alan Rozanski says the evidence is now clear: meaningful human connection influences everything from heart health to longevity and emotional resilience. In this conversation with Peter Bowes, he explains how social isolation affects the body biologically, why purpose and vitality matter as much as diet and exercise, and why modern life may be weakening our ability to connect. He also explores the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and the complex role technology and social media now play in our relationships. Ultimately, he argues that the strongest predictor of long-term wellbeing may not simply be how long we live — but how vital and connected we feel along the way. -- May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, observed annually since 1949 to reduce stigma, provide support, and educate the public on mental wellness -- --This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

May is Mental Health Awareness month. It’s during this time that here is an increased emphasis on looking after one’s mental and emotional health. Last week on the podcast, we talked about our environment and needing to take an assessment of what voices and other things in our surrounding environment are affecting and impacting our mental and spiritual state. Today, we look at the ways that God meets us in the midst of our own mess. There are highs and lows in football, just like in life. There are moments when we take on the game’s greatest (like Lionel Messi) and moments when we can’t wait to shower and get out of the stadium because we (or the team) just laid an egg against an opponent. We can become exhausted working through the highs and lows. Today, we look at the life of Elijah (the prophet of Israel) and the moment that he was ready to give up on life — thinking that he had failed or just being fed up and too frustrated to go on. You can find this story I Kings 19. From the Touchline is a short-feature podcast with Rev Brad Kenney, Founder and Executive Director of Soccer Chaplains United and Volunteer Chaplain to the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer. Rev Brad and occasional guests touch on various issues around the topics of faith, family, and football (soccer).

WHO THIS EPISODE HELPS: People navigating suicide loss, childhood grief, traumatic loss, complicated grief, mental health struggles, depression, anxiety and anyone trying to better understand the long-term impact of losing a parent or loved one to suicide.WHAT LISTENERS WILL GET: An honest conversation about grief, suicide stigma, mental health awareness, childhood trauma, healing after loss and how vulnerability and open conversations can help people feel less isolated in their grief journey.DESCRIPTION:In this deeply emotional episode of Grief Is Not A Dirty Word, host Nick Gaylord sits down with author, mental health advocate and suicide loss survivor Lisa Sugarman for a powerful conversation about grief, trauma and the lifelong impact of losing a parent to suicide. Lisa shares the heartbreaking story of losing her father at just 10 years old, believing for 35 years that he died of a heart attack before learning the truth about his suicide later in life. Together, Nick and Lisa explore childhood grief, mental health stigma, suicide loss, survivor guilt, depression and the silence that so often surrounds traumatic loss. Lisa opens up about how that revelation reshaped her understanding of grief, mental illness and her father himself. The conversation also highlights the importance of vulnerability, emotional honesty and creating safe spaces for people to talk openly about grief and mental health. Lisa discusses her work with The Trevor Project, her platform The Help Hub and her podcast The Survivors Podcast, all focused on supporting people through trauma, crisis and loss. This episode is a raw and compassionate reminder that grief does not disappear when ignored and that nobody should have to suffer in silence. This episode answers: How does losing a parent to suicide affect a child later in life?  What happens when you discover the truth about a loved one's suicide decades later?  How can people better support someone grieving a suicide loss?  Why is suicide still so stigmatized in grief conversations?  What are the long-term mental health effects of unresolved grief and trauma? Key Takeaways: Silence and avoidance can deepen grief and emotional isolation.  Suicide loss survivors often carry complex layers of grief, anger, guilt and confusion.  Honest conversations about mental health and grief create safer spaces for healing.  Vulnerability helps normalize difficult conversations around suicide and depression.  Grief cannot simply be ignored or “gotten over” without emotional consequences.Go to Lisa's EPISODE page on www.griefisnotadirtyword.com for all of her links.Support the showGIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS! FOLLOW US ON APPLE OR YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST PLATFORM! BOOKMARK OUR WEBSITE: www.griefisnotadirtyword.com FOLLOW OUR DEAD DADS ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/griefisnotadirtyword Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/griefisnotadirtyword TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@griefisnotadirtywordYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmmv6sdmMIys3GDBjiui3kw LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-gaylord/

Week 2 of Mental Health Awareness month: Anxiety is close to everyone’s experience, either because you've had it or someone close to you has. Does your brain accidentally teach itself to stay anxious by looping on the same fears? Is anxiety helping you perform better, or does it make everything harder? Is it possible to unlearn worry the same way you learned it? Join Eagleman with Dr. Jud Nelson, who suffered with anxiety as a young man... and then became a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who studies anxiety and developed a very different approach to its treatment.
