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

Send Me a Message! In this episode, I share how the NSW mental health system has picked up my referrals and is starting to piece together a plan to help me move forward. It's a big relief — and a hint of hope on the horizon — but of course it's also tangled up with my daily battle against anxiety.So much of this process relies on me: on finding the social capacity to answer or make phone calls, to push through the fear that is always there, and to keep these critical conversations and opportunities alive. I've missed a few calls along the way (hey, its been hard, ok?), but I've also managed to pick up the phone when it really counts and talk openly about my struggles. That alone feels like a small victory — a moment of courage that helps keep the wheels turning and reminds me that, even with all this anxiety, I'm still moving forward. The war within rages on, but now I might be bolstered by a very powerful ally. Maybe....hopefully.....--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!

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:

#217 Von Energie und Feinstofflichem – mit Ricarda Berlage In dieser Folge möchten wir euch helfen, ein bisschen aufzuräumen. Im Innen, aber auch energetisch, denn wir schleppen so einiges mit uns durchs Leben, was gar nicht zu uns gehört und dessen wir uns oft gar nicht bewusst sind. Innere Klarheit schafft äußere Klarheit- und umgekehrt. Außerdem bleiben wir oft auf einer ganz tiefen Ebene, energetisch, mit vielen alten Wunden in Verbindung.

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

#216 Von der GSG 9 auf den Pfad der Erleuchtung – mit Yogi Vidyananda Mein Gast in dieser Folge ist Yogi Vidyananda.

You want to stop starting over? Then stop selling yourself out. In this episode, we go beneath the surface of self-sabotage and into the quiet, daily betrayals that fracture your confidence and drain your discipline. From skipping small commitments to shrinking your standards, you've trained your system to normalize avoidance. But this isn't weakness. It's adaptation. And what you've rehearsed, you can rewire. We'll unpack why you keep abandoning the version of you you're trying to become, what it's costing you, and how to build unshakable self-trust—one aligned decision at a time. This isn't about productivity. This is about identity. And it starts with refusing to tolerate the version of you that's only surviving.   Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

If you've been feeling stuck, heavy, or low-key frustrated with yourself… this might be why. You're not lazy. You're not broken. You're just in a cycle. Numb. Avoid. Repeat. You scroll when you should act. You overthink instead of move. You wait for clarity and call it wisdom. You call it peace but deep down, you know it's something else. This week's episode is about The Comfort Cycle. We break down why you keep defaulting to ease, how it's rewiring your nervous system, and what it's really costing you in energy, identity, and momentum. You don't need to shame yourself. You need to wake up. Not with pressure, but with clarity. This is your reset button.   Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

After a much-needed week off to celebrate his birthday, Izzy Baker is back solo for this week's Mental Man Monday. Raw, unfiltered, and glitchy as ever, this episode hits the ground running.Izzy opens with a heartfelt recap of the most recent episode of The Mental Health Podcast, featuring Lawrence C. Harris, where they unpack fatherhood, generational wounds, and Lawrence's current relationship with his dad. It's a powerful conversation to kick off Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, because healing as men is never overnight.Next up, Izzy takes on one of the most shocking headlines of the week: R. Kelly's jail overdose. Was this a calculated setup to move him to a more secure facility, or is someone working behind the scenes to take him off the chessboard for good? Izzy breaks down the conspiracy theories and what this might mean going forward.And finally, Izzy addresses David Banner's controversial remarks that “there is no devil.” Izzy isn't buying it. He challenges the idea that rewriting spiritual reality somehow erases the consequences of sin, especially for Black men. Personal responsibility matters, but so does acknowledging that the fight for your soul is real. This episode is more than pop culture commentary—it's a reminder that your mental, emotional, and spiritual health all matter. Especially right now.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.

It's a significant test of emotional and mental resilience when someone you love attacks you through gaslighting, projection, moral superiority, subjective morality, innuendos, and storytelling, all of which downplay their actions and focus entirely on your reaction to their behavior or words.

In time, you will notice the one-way nature of the relationship. Through an enormous painful event, if you are lucky and wise, you will let go of those whose false mask, grandiosity, and tremendous insecurity prevent them from taking accountability for how their narcissism affects those who love them.

Manufactured weakness is the kind of limitation that isn't inherited or imposed—but created.It's the result of avoiding growth, rejecting responsibility, normalizing dysfunction, or surrounding yourself with standards low enough to never confront your potential. It's weakness by design. Not because you couldn't be strong—but because you've repeatedly chosen comfort over courage, survival over truth, and habits that serve emotions over values. Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

When it comes to narcissism, there are physical signs that help you spot narcissistic behavior sooner rather than later. Narcissists often reveal their true nature through their eyes—cold, unfeeling, and devoid of empathy. This chilling stare is a red flag, signaling a lack of emotional connection and a potential for manipulation. According to FBI profilers, such individuals prey on those with high empathy, low self-worth, and a strong desire to please. Codependents, in particular, may overlook these warning signs due to blurred boundaries and a history of emotional neglect.​ If you've experienced cognitive dissonance in a toxic relationship, it's crucial to recognize these signs and prioritize your well-being. Understanding the dynamics of narcissistic abuse can empower you to break free from trauma bonds and embark on a healing journey.​ Take the first step towards self-discovery and recovery. Our codependency quiz can help you identify areas needing attention and guide you towards inner healing. ✨ Take my FREE Codependency Quiz

How to stop ruminating is something that many of us struggle with. Do you ever feel like your brain just won't shut off? Like you're replaying past conversations, worrying about what's next, or stuck in a loop of “what ifs”? That's rumination—and it's more than just overthinking. It's a neurological trap that drains your energy, fuels anxiety, and blocks you from living fully in the present.In this episode, Jerry breaks down the real science behind rumination and gives you 4 proven tools to stop it—starting today. You'll learn why your brain gets stuck in loops, how perfectionism and shame feed the cycle, and what to do instead of trying to “think your way out.”These insights are grounded in neuroscience, trauma psychology, and real-life coaching strategies that have helped hundreds of high achievers break free from mental spirals and finally create a calm, focused, and empowered mind.If you're ready to stop ruminating and start living, this episode is for you.

If you're still complaining, you're not processing—you're practicing. If you're still playing the victim, you're not stuck—you're staying. Let that land. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who's been running the same emotional loop, telling the same story, and calling it healing. The truth? Most people don't need more time—they need more ownership. What looks like “processing” is often just avoidance in disguise. What feels like “overwhelm” is usually a lack of leadership—internal and external. This isn't about dismissing your pain. It's about refusing to let it become your identity.

Most people don't fail because they lack vision. They fail because they never trained themselves to execute when the hype wears off. Clarity is cheap. Discipline is rare. The gap between what you say you want and what you actually follow through on is where most people stay stuck. Not because they can't—but because they're still negotiating with distraction, perfection, or public opinion. Vision doesn't need more excitement. It needs a system that holds when motivation drops off. The people who finish aren't the ones who feel the most—it's the ones who move with precision, especially when no one's watching. If you can't execute in silence, you'll never hold the weight of what you say you want. Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

The most dangerous people in our lives are not strangers, they are people we know and love. For a child, the most dangerous people are their parents and step-parents, and for adults, the most dangerous people in their lives tend to be their partners. In this eye opening podcast, you will learn about the statistics that suggest that while we teach children about stranger danger, w are neglecting to fully comprehend the totality of the abuse that occurs simply because adults have access to powerless children. This is not to suggest that all parents and all step-parents are abusive; however, statistically speaking, one of the contributing factors to child abuse and neglect tends to be associated with a nonbiological step-parent.  This podcast comes with a trigger warning, because it speaks the truth, a truth that many may not be ready to accept has occurred to them, a truth that a parent may not be ready to face about their choice in a spouse that had access to their children, or it may sting the eye of the one who has neglected and abused a child, or spouse.  The intention of this conversation is to fully acknowledge what is statistically true, so that we can all become more aware and responsible for who has access to our children, in addition to becoming more conscious of the fact that our partners are the most dangerous people in our adult lives. It's not the guy hanging out on the street corner at 3:00 am we need to worry about. It's those we love who may associate love with control, dominance, and power. Once we become entangled with them, we need to be more cognizant of the quality of the relationships we engage in.  If you're codependent, you are at great risk for becoming entangled in toxic relationships dynamics and that is not your fault.  Breakthrough with me here, with the 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program.  

You don't just end up in a dark place—you're slowly trained into it. Conditioned by chaos, shaped by trauma, and wired for survival. In this episode, I'm breaking down what actually pulls us into darkness—and how to get out. We'll talk about the nervous system, trauma identity, shame, and why pain becomes familiar—even addictive. I share the deeper psychology behind survival mode, and walk you through how to start reconditioning your life for safety, stability, and truth. You'll hear parts of my own story: growing up with a father struggling with addiction and mental illness, developing an eating disorder as a child, staying in abusive relationships that mirrored the instability I was raised in—and what it really looked like to break free. This isn't just a story of struggle; it's a roadmap for healing. If you're tired of performing strength, clinging to control, or confusing survival with purpose, this episode will show you what it takes to release the old, reclaim your identity, and rise. You're not broken—you were trained by pain. Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

If you don't know what you value, discipline will always feel like a grind. In this episode, we're unpacking the deeper structure behind why most people can't stay consistent—because they're trying to build discipline without a foundation. Everything starts with your values. What you value shapes what you believe. And what you believe creates the need to protect it—through boundaries. Once you have clear boundaries, you can set strong standards. Those standards help you prioritize what actually matters. And when your priorities are aligned with your values, consistency becomes natural—not forced. That consistency is what reinforces identity, and identity is what makes discipline sustainable. This isn't about hacks or hustle—it's about building a life that runs on alignment, not anxiety.   Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

Socrates once said,“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but building the new.” If you've ever wondered how long it might take you to heal from narcissistic abuse, emotional neglect, codependency, or even addiction issues, you're in the right place. When emotionally, financially, and spiritually abused, the amygdala takes over and life can become minuscule. All we can focus on, when being abused, persecuted, judged or gaslit, is the moment. And although this is a sacred design created to help us avoid threat and harm, the human brain can become stuck in fight or flight. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, a Breakthrough Life Coach, uncovers a simple yet profound mindset shift that can help you heal sooner rather than later. As a survivor of narcissistic abuse and an adult child of two unrecovered, emotionally abusive, and neglectful alcoholic parents, Lisa has relied on self-discovery work focused on healing at the subconscious level, compassionately embracing her inner child every step of the way to become an international advocate for adult children everywhere. Her research and nearly 30 years of self-healing work have established her as a prominent global voice in mental wellness, personal healing, and transformation.  Begin your healing and transformation journey with Lisa's groundbreaking approach, which is grounded in the latest trauma research, neuroscience, and cognitive science.

Or – if you believe the perspective of today's guest, Chip Conley, the beginning of the very best parts of our lives!Joining us today is Chip Conley, a true visionary in leadership, aging, and personal reinvention. Chip made his mark as the founder one of the largest boutique hotel brands in the U.S. before making a surprising career pivot—becoming Airbnb's Modern Elder and helping to guide the company through its explosive growth. He then went on to launch the Modern Elder Academy (MEA), the world's first midlife wisdom school, designed to help people navigate transitions with purpose, resilience, and a renewed sense of possibility.His latest book, Learning to Love Midlife: 12 Reasons Why Life Gets Better with Age, challenges the outdated myths of aging and reveals the science-backed benefits of embracing midlife as a time of growth, wisdom, and fulfillment. In today's conversation, we'll dive into why midlife is not a crisis but an opportunity, how we can redefine success and purpose in our second half of life, and why aging can actually be an advantage, not a limitation.Chip's insights are not just inspiring—they're practical, research-backed, and deeply relevant for anyone looking to thrive in midlife and beyond.

I spent years showing up for everyone but me. Keeping promises to other people. Breaking the ones I made to myself. This episode is about the truth behind that pattern—where it comes from, why we call self-abandonment “loyalty,” and how to finally cut it at the root. I break down the difference between discipline and punishment, how boundaries start with values, and why healing has to lead to something bigger than just you. Because if your growth never leaves the journal, and your “self-work” becomes your full identity—you're not free. This is about coming home to yourself, living with integrity, and treating yourself like someone who actually matters.   Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

In this episode, you will explore 10 distinct forms of narcissistic manipulation tactics and the true agenda of a narcissist with whom you must engage, communicate, parent, and resolve issues. Those who display narcissistic traits often do not recognize themselves as narcissists. Instead, they tend to hold on to their grand illusions of themselves or see themselves as the victims of others. When they are up, it is because they believe others see them as the best, smartest, most beautiful, creative or talented. When they are down, that is because they feel victimized by evidence that someone, maybe you, no longer feed into their grand illusions of themselves. Lisa A. Romano Breakthrough Life Coach, Award winning author, meditation teacher, course creator, and podcast host, is on a mission to awaken those who live below the veil of consciousness, and who are in toxic, enmeshed, codependent, subjugating relationships with those who are either narcissists, or who have high narcissistic traits. As an adult daughter of narcissistic and codependent parents, and as someone who escaped the undertow of a toxic marriage herself, she understands that the first step in healing from a narcissistic relationship is recognizing the signs that you are actually in a narcissistic relationship.  Ready to begin your healing journey?  Embark on the path to conscious awakening, emotional healing, and transformation with Lisa's Conscious Healing Academy, which includes a 3 tier coaching system that assists with one's awakening, emotional intelligence, and mental and emotional mastery.  12 Week Breakthrough Program (Level One - The Awakening) 8 Week Master Your Reality (Level 2 -- Deliberate Creating) Soul School - (Level Three -- Ascending Ego) To learn more, contact Lisa and her team members here; Contact Website Spotify Award Winning Books  Facebook Support Group  

In this episode, we're breaking down the subtle but dangerous ways narcissists use coercive control in conversations to manipulate, destabilize, and maintain dominance over others. If you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling mentally foggy, emotionally drained, or questioning your own thoughts, you may have been subjected to narcissistic coercion without even realizing it. Coercive control is a form of psychological abuse that narcissists use to undermine your confidence, distort your reality, and keep you second-guessing yourself. Unlike overt aggression, these tactics often fly under the radar, making them difficult to recognize until the damage is already done. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How narcissists use rapid-fire questioning to overwhelm you, keep you off balance, and push you into emotional dysregulation. Why gaslighting is a core tool in coercive conversations and how it causes you to doubt your memory, perception, and even your sanity. The subtle way narcissists withhold information, distort facts, or contradict themselves to create confusion and maintain power over the narrative. How guilt, shame, and fear are weaponized in conversation to manipulate you into compliance and emotional submission. Why they interrupt, talk over you, or shift blame to prevent you from asserting yourself and setting boundaries. The Psychological Impact of Coercive Control Research shows that victims of coercive control often experience chronic stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and cognitive dissonance—the mental discomfort caused by holding contradictory beliefs. Over time, these conversations can leave you feeling powerless, disconnected from your own thoughts, and emotionally dependent on the narcissist for validation and approval. But knowledge is power. Once you learn to recognize these tactics, you can stop engaging in their games and take back control of your own mind. Breaking Free from the Cycle Healing from narcissistic coercion requires self-awareness, emotional detachment, and boundary-setting. In this episode, we'll discuss practical strategies to help you: Stay grounded and recognize when a conversation is designed to manipulate you. Trust your own perception rather than seeking validation from the narcissist. Respond with clarity and confidence instead of falling into the trap of emotional reactivity. Use gray rock and other disengagement techniques to limit their control over your thoughts and emotions. If you've ever struggled to hold your own in conversations with a narcissist, this episode is for you. Understanding their tactics is the first step to reclaiming your voice, your confidence, and your emotional independence. Tune in now, and let's expose the mind games so you can break free from the cycle of coercive control once and for all! Become immune to narcissists by healing the unhealed wounds that make so many of us more vulnerable to their abuse. The 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program is the healing method and modality that has helped thousands stop falling for narcissists. https://www.lisaaromano.com/12-wbcp To learn more, contact Lisa and her team members here; Contact Website Spotify Award Winning Books  Facebook Support Group
