Pressure doesn't make you weak. It shows you where you still have work to do. The space between reacting and responding is where your future is built. In this episode, I'm breaking down how to regulate your emotions when life, leadership, and circumstances turn up the heat. You don't rise to the occasion. You fall to your habits, your training, and your ability to stay steady. Regulation isn't about shutting down your emotions. It's about recognizing them, working with them, and choosing how to lead yourself through the moment. When you decide in advance who you are, you don't have to negotiate with your emotions in the moment. When you don't know who you are, emotions will lead you. They'll decide for you in the heat of the moment. Fear will tell you to retreat. Anger will tell you to attack. Stress will tell you to shut down. But when you anchor in identity, you flip the script. You become the one leading your emotions instead of being led by them. And the second you put that label on it, your body obeys. You freeze, shut down, or spiral. But when you reframe it, you change the outcome. We'll get into what pressure really is, how to identify and work with your triggers, how to build a pause before you respond, and how to turn your emotions into fuel for strength, focus, and clarity.     Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

In this episode, I open up about what it can feel like to live with OCD, sharing personal experiences and giving visuals that bring the struggles to life. I also talk about the difference between OCD and generalized anxiety disorder, and the wide spectrum of ways OCD can manifest. This solo episode is a reminder that OCD doesn't always look the same from person to person, and that what I share is only a small portion of my experience. As always, this episode/my podcast/content is not a replacement for therapy or professional support. You are not alone.STAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com 

We all know the red flags in a toxic relationship. Lies. Manipulation. Walking on eggshells. Most of us have seen it with someone else. Few admit when the toxic partner is the person in the mirror. This episode asks one question that cuts through the noise. If you were dating you, would you stay? I define self toxicity and why it can feel like living with an enemy who knows every weakness. I draw clear parallels to external toxic love. Broken promises. Harsh inner dialogue. Quiet neglect that looks like ambition. I trace the roots in conditional love and performance and show how shame rewires identity into I am the problem. I name the cost of staying stuck and why you keep recreating the same story. A healthy relationship with yourself isn't built on feelingsit's built on standards. It's built on refusing to cross your own boundaries anymore. It's built on demanding from yourself the same loyalty you've been begging from everyone else. And it's built on finally realizing you are not disposable. Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

Did your bestie of 10 years suddenly stop talking to you?  Are you still WAITING to hear back from that job interview that you did over 6 months ago? Ever been left on read... forever? Sorry hunny, you have been GHOSTED.  Ghosting isn't just a frustrating dating trend; it's a cultural phenomenon that's silently killing our trust in relationships, friendships and professional connections. This week on Atypical Podcast with Nurse Amie Archibald-Varley MN, RN and Therapist Jordan Varley BSW, RSW, we're confronting the fade-out head-on. We'll explore the psychology of why we disappear, why being ghosted by a friend can hurt more than a breakup, and what to do when it happens in the workplace.

There are a lot of voices out there in the world of health, wellness & performance. Some – probably most of what we see on Instagram and Youtube – involve more show than go, more staged than engaged. Too often, it involves charismatic individuals who talk a very good talk but provide little insight into their actual walk. Or worse yet, we discover the healthy lifestyle claims made to sell supplements, exercise equipment or coaching resources turn out to be the result of performance enhancing drugs that never quite get mentioned in their script.Does those things matter? I hope so. We ALL have plenty of room for growth – and some things are, frankly, none of our business. But what if you could pull back the curtain, learn about the daily details of life beyond the sound bites? Would it make a difference? Provide some additional encouragement? In this special episode, Dr. Cooper shares his recent bloodwork results, biometrics and the daily routines he's implemented as he approaches turning 60.

Send us a textEpisode SummaryIf you've ever questioned your faith, struggled with loss, or felt the weight of expectations, this episode is for you.Key TakeawaysLarry Camp's journey reflects a deep connection to music and family.Mental health discussions are crucial in high-demand religious settings.Personal growth often comes from questioning /clarifying beliefs. High-demand religions often create an image that members feel pressured to maintain.Women in Mormonism face significant limitations due to patriarchal structures.Community support is crucial for those who leave religious groups.Human connection fosters hope and resilience.Coping with faith and loss requires empathy and understanding.Engaging in fun activities is essential for well-being.Curiosity and learning are vital for personal growth.In this powerful episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, Larry Camp opens up about his life, his journey with the Mormon faith, and how leaving it shaped his mental health. A lifelong lover of music, sports, and Hawaii, Larry's story is filled with twists and turns that reflect resilience and the importance of forging your own path.Raised in a devout Mormon family, Larry embraced the religion's demanding lifestyle, including serving a two-year mission and adhering to the strict rules.  Larry explained how the church's high expectations and guilt-driven culture often take a toll on mental health, especially for women, who are frequently subjected to intense judgment and impossible standards. One of the most moving parts of the interview came when Larry discussed the loss of his son, Dusty, in 2018. This devastating event, coupled with his departure from the Mormon Church, tested his resilience and emotional strength. He credited his wife of 44 years, Judy, as his rock during this challenging period. Larry candidly shared how the family coped and how his other son, Crosby, continues to struggle with Dusty's death.Larry also reflected on the beauty and challenges of living in Hawaii. Though he adored the Aloha spirit, the financial reality of life on the islands eventually led him and Judy to settle in Southern Utah. His passion for music, sports, and storytelling remains central to his life, as evidenced by his own podcast Nobody Knows Your Story, where he explores the richness of human experiences.Throughout the conversation, Larry stressed the value of community—both in and out of religion. He also shared a poignant insight about personal growth: “You can't change the past, but you can always aim to do better moving forward.”This episode is a heartfelt reminder that mental health journeys are rarely straightforward, but with the right people in your corner and a willingness to seek truth, healing is always possible. Whether you're grappling with faith, loss, or life's uncertainties, Larry's story offers wisdom, humor, and hope for finding peace on your own terms.Invictus  - William Ernest HenleyOut of the night that covers me,Black as the pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may beFor my unconquerable soul.In the fell clutch of circumstanceI have not winced nor cried aloud.Under the bludgeoning's of chanceMy head is bloody, but unbowed.Beyond this place of wrath and tearsLooms but the Horror of the shade,And yet the menace of the yearsFinds and shall find me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate,How charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate,I am the captain of my soul.

This episode kicks off with some lighthearted date night moments between Jaime and Curt before diving into childbirth myths—like Curt's very confident belief that women dilate to 20 centimeters during labor (spoiler: absolutely not). Then, Curt takes us back in time to his one-room country school days, full of farm kids, small-town antics, and interested teaching techniques. It's a mix of anatomy confusion and rural education nostalgia you didn't know you needed. Subscribe, rate, & review The Shrink Show podcast: Facebook, Instagram , YouTube, X

Send Me a Message! What happens when the mental health system fails those that need it most? In this raw, unfiltered episode, I take you into the depths of my ongoing battle with a mental healthcare approach that seems more interested in medication guess-work than actual measures for recovery.I'm currently taking seven different medications – heavy-duty pharmaceuticals that should, theoretically, be providing relief from my complex mental health conditions. Yet despite this chemical cocktail, my symptoms continue to worsen. My frustration is palpable as I recount my recent psychiatric appointment where my request to safely taper off medications under supervision was dismissed, replaced instead with simply swapping one medication for another.The consequences of inadequate treatment have now spilled into my work life. I've been stripped of my forklift operator role – the one area where I felt most competent and found respite from my social anxiety. This loss represents the real-world impact of a mental health system that keeps failing those who need it most. And this could only be the start.What makes this situation particularly disappointing is my willingness to try anything – even considering ECT or extended hospital admissions – just to get proper help. When someone describes themselves as "the most willing patient" who is willing to try anything, yet cannot access appropriate care despite years of advocacy, we must question how our mental health services are prioritised and delivered.For anyone navigating complex mental health challenges or supporting someone who is, this episode offers validation that you're not alone in your struggle. The path to proper treatment shouldn't be this difficult, but together we can continue advocating for better approaches. --Follow my journey through the chaos of mental illness and the hard-fought lessons learned along the way.Lived experience is at the heart of this podcast — every episode told through my own lens, with raw honesty and zero filter.This is a genuine and vulnerable account of how multiple psychological disorders have shaped my past and continue to influence my future.Support the showYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters, and the show on Facebook!

Boundaries are how you prove to yourself that you mean what you say. Every time you keep one, you reinforce that your word matters. Every time you break one, you weaken your own trust and you usually don't notice until the consequences pile up. They're more than time management. They're about who you are when no one's watching. They keep your character intact. They give your ambition room to grow without burning you out. They protect the work and the impact you want to leave behind. When you break a boundary, it's not just about skipping the workout, saying yes when you meant no, or taking a deal you knew was wrong. It's about slowly eroding your self-respect. Do it enough, and you stop trusting yourself. And when you don't trust yourself, you start second-guessing, hesitating, and holding back because you know deep down you won't follow through. But when you hold a boundary especially in private you build self-trust that can't be faked. You start moving like the person you say you are. That's where confidence comes from. That's how excellence stops being something you chase and starts being who you are.     Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

Reset your nervous system to decrease emotional chaos in your life, career, and parenting. In a world where stress seems omnipresent, understanding and managing your nervous system can transform your life. Many of us experience overwhelming feelings and stress without realizing the root cause might be an unregulated nervous system. When you reset your nervous system, you equip yourself to handle stress, improve relationships with your children, and enhance your leadership potential. Understanding the Nervous System Your nervous system is the communication network between your brain and body, sending signals back and forth. When dysregulated, you might experience anxiety, tension, or even illness. Recognizing these signs is the first step in restoring balance. For many, symptoms may manifest as stress, tension, or worry, making it difficult to function at their best. Awareness and understanding of how your body reacts allow you to take control and make necessary adjustments. Recognizing Dysregulation Key to improving your well-being is recognizing when your nervous system is dysregulated. Symptoms appear in various forms, such as overthinking, stress, defensiveness, or even perfectionism. Your body's response, like persistent tension or discomfort, signals the need for change. By tuning into these signals, you can start to identify patterns and take proactive steps to address them. This recognition is vital for regaining a state of calm and focus. Steps to Reset Your Nervous System To reset your nervous system, focus on bringing your prefrontal cortex back online. This part of your brain, crucial for rational thinking, is often bypassed when stressed. Begin by acknowledging any tension and practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or muscle relaxation exercises. Creating a 'safety sequence'—asking yourself if you are safe, feel safe, and identifying physical reactions—can also guide you towards regulation. Implementing these techniques regularly can help shift your baseline state to one of calm and flexibility.   Read the full show notes and access all links.

In this deeply moving and soul-activating episode, Katie Carey sits down with Dominique Trueman, a guest from the Soulful Poems collaboration, to explore her powerful transformation through creativity, cancer recovery, inner child healing, and the path of living with zero limits. Diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time in 2024, Dominique chose not to see it as a curse, but as a divine invitation to reconnect with her authentic self. In this episode, she courageously shares how peeling back the layers of old belief systems—like unworthiness, people-pleasing, and over-responsibility—has allowed her to reconnect with her creativity, rebuild her relationship with her mother, and awaken to a life of freedom, magic, and true expression. ✨ What we cover in this episode: How Dominique's poetry and creativity were reawakened after years of self-abandonment The impact of childhood trauma, parental mental illness, and taking on too much responsibility too young Why illness can be a wake-up call to slow down, heal, and come back home to yourself Her personal practice of writing to God/source to access divine guidance and write poetry How chronic people-pleasing creates toxicity in the body The sacred healing that happened when she sat beside her mother's hospital bed Why reconnecting to joy, family, creativity, and self-expression matters more than hustle and “success” Practical wisdom on living with presence, purpose, and zero limits

Emotions are real. Anxiety. Anger. Overwhelm. They're not weaknesses. But when they lead every conversation, every decision, and every response, you end up living in reaction instead of intention. This episode is about emotional discipline. Not suppression. Not perfection. The trained ability to stay grounded when your nervous system is loud. I walk you through the difference between reacting and responding, how to regulate your body in real time, and how to lead from identity instead of impulse. I unpack what unresolved patterns look like, how trauma can shape your reactivity, and what it actually takes to build emotional maturity that lasts. Emotional discipline is not about ignoring what you feel. It's about leading yourself through what you feel without losing who you are. The strongest people don't avoid emotion. They master the discipline to respond with clarity, not chaos. That's the skill that changes everything.     Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

In this episode, I talk about what it really means to ride the wave of intrusive thoughts and uncomfortable emotions. I share my experience of sitting with the discomfort of riding the wave, without numbing, avoiding, or rushing to fix them...which is so hard. I share how I've been learning to sit with my own feelings of uncertainty and overwhelm, while also holding space for others. In this episode, I lean into what I've been practicing in my every day life...which is embracing the messy parts of myself that make me human. I hope this episode can remind you that you're not alone, and that you don't have to have it all figured out to show up.STAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com 

Most people don't live intentionally. They live in reaction, running on autopilot and calling it normal. They wake up tired, scroll before breathing, and spend their day chasing urgency instead of protecting purpose. Intentional living doesn't happen by accident. It happens when you slow down long enough to choose what matters and cut what doesn't. It starts with clarity: knowing your values, defining your standards, and letting those things guide your time, energy, and decisions. Without intention, your emotions lead, your patterns repeat, and your potential stays buried under distractions. Every yes you say out of guilt, every habit you follow out of fear, every time you stay silent when you should speak that's unintentional living. But when you train yourself to pause, to think, to act from identity instead of insecurity, you start building a life you're proud of. You don't need to be perfect. You just need to stop abandoning yourself. Because every moment you move on purpose, speak with clarity, and follow through with integrity, you prove to yourself that you're no longer available for chaos. You're available for alignment. And that's where everything starts to change.   Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

Are you constantly hurt by a spouse who struggles to prioritize you? Do they avoid setting boundaries with their parents—even when it damages your marriage? If your partner was raised in a toxic or emotionally immature home, their nervous system may have been wired for survival—not connection.

In this episode of Breakdown to Breakthrough, Breakthrough Life Coach and creator of The Conscious Healing Academy, Lisa A. Romano, unpacks the hidden trauma behind emotionally unavailable partners and explores why some spouses can't put their significant other first—despite their best intentions. You'll learn: Why your spouse might feel safer pleasing their parents than protecting your marriage How unhealed childhood trauma impacts adult intimacy and emotional prioritization The subconscious fears that drive people to abandon their partner to avoid being rejected themselves What you can do to begin shifting this painful dynamic in a healthy way

Izzy Baker returns solo for a special Tuesday edition of Mental Man Monday — and this one carries emotional weight. He opens by revisiting key takeaways from the latest episode of The Mental Health Podcast, “Your Homeboy Was Never Your Homeboy,” which highlights the uncomfortable truth behind broken friendships. One moment stands out: “You ever get cut off and wish you were the one who cut them off first?” It's the kind of raw reflection that sets the tone for everything that follows. The episode then shifts into a somber tribute to the late Malcolm Jamal Warner. After a resurfaced clip on The Shade Room shows Warner discussing legacy and impact just before his passing, Izzy pauses to honor him and to ask a hard question: If today were your last day, what would your legacy actually say about you? To close, Izzy lightens the mood without losing spiritual depth, reflecting on David and Tamela Mann's response to divorce rumors. Instead of clapping back with hostility, the couple uses humor and unity to shut down the noise. Izzy offers a new framework for responding to lies, drama, or rumors not with rage or silence, but with confident, Godly wit. This episode weaves legacy, loss, and levity into one thoughtful stream. It's a reminder that your presence, your relationships, and your responses all matter, and they're writing your story, even now. Tune in. Reflect. Ask yourself what story you're leaving behind.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.

Most people only know how to show up when it's loud. When they're praised. When they're noticed. When they're running on adrenaline. But when it gets boring, hard, and quiet? That's where average checks out. That's where insecurity screams. That's where the gap forms between those who look consistent and those who actually are. You don't need more motivation. You need fewer conditions. You need systems that function when your emotions don't. You need identity that doesn't change when the mood does. When it's boring, repetition sharpens you. When it's hard, your nervous system is being trained to stabilize under pressure. When it's quiet, your leadership is being tested in the absence of applause. That's where trust is built, both internally and externally. You're not proving anything anymore. You're reinforcing who you've decided to be. Because showing up in silence is what makes you unshakable in noise. And if you can master that, you won't just win. You'll withstand.   Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

In 2003, I was in New Zealand to compete in the Triathlon world championships. It was an amazing time. I met some amazing athletes from around the world, most notably Champion Barb Lindquist and Sheila Taormina, who went on to become the first person to qualify for the Olympics in THREE different sports. But the most interesting person I met? Today's guest, Tricia Downing.Among a sea of mental toughness, resilience and grit, none exceeded Trish. She'd become a triathlete after a serious bike wreck left her paralyzed from the waist down. While the rest of us swam, cycled and ran the course, Trish did it with just her upper body. Incredible. We continued crossing paths after that trip, and she was actually one of our first coaches when we launched Catalyst Coaching to serve employees nationwide back in 2007.Her amazing life journey has continued, and when I saw she was launching into yet another new adventure, I immediately reached out to see if she'd be willing to share her story with you. You're going to soak this one in.

Everyone wants to be elite. But nobody wants to be seen being average. Here's the real order: You start at good. You earn great. You refine into excellent. And you sustain elite. You don't skip steps. You stack them.But most people are too prideful to be seen starting. Too impatient to stay consistent. Too obsessed with appearing successful to become it. This episode breaks down the gap between potential and performance, and how I had to let go of the masks, the noise, and the chaos to build real strength. If you're stuck in the cycle of doing too much and becoming no one, this one will cut deep and call you forward.   Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

What happens when the very people who are supposed to love, nurture, and protect you are also the source of your deepest emotional wounds? In this powerful episode, Lisa A. Romano, Certified Breakthrough Life Coach and trauma-informed expert in codependency recovery, explores the devastating impact of narcissistic parenting and how it lays the foundation for lifelong codependency. Children of narcissistic parents are often emotionally neglected, manipulated, and made to feel responsible for the moods, needs, and approval of their caregivers. This can set the stage for an adult life of self-abandonment, low self-worth, and an unhealthy need for validation. In this episode, you'll learn:

Most people don't rebuild. They reset. They repaint the same old walls, put new habits on top of old wounds, and wonder why nothing changes. When you've hit rock bottom, you don't need motivation. You need a blueprint.

I walk you through the internal audit you've been avoiding, why comfort is a cage, how to stop strengthening your dysfunction, and the step-by-step formula to rebuild your identity, habits, standards, and life from the ground up. This isn't about trying harder. It's about becoming different. If you're ready to burn it down and build something real, this episode is your blueprint.   Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach
