Podcasts about mental wellness

It's been since New Year's Eve since I sat behind this mic.A lot has happened since then. My dad died. My world changed. And somewhere in the middle of grief, loneliness, unanswered questions, changing friendships, and trying to figure out how the hell you're supposed to keep living when someone who was such a huge part of your life is suddenly gone… I found myself needing this space again.So, on International Podcasting Day, I'm back where it all started: talking shit, sharing my truth, and saying the things we don't always know how to say out loud.In this episode, I'm talking about grief in all its awkward, messy, confusing glory. About missing my best friend. About feeling let down by people I thought would show up. About the pressure to “move on” when I'm still learning how to exist in a world without my dad in it.And because September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, we're also going there. The uncomfortable conversation. The one about suicidal thoughts, loneliness, asking for help, and why sometimes “I'm here if you need anything” isn't enough. Sometimes you have to actually be there.This episode isn't polished. It isn't tied up with a pretty little bow. And honestly? It wasn't supposed to be.It's grief. It's love. It's anger. It's loneliness. It's dark humor. It's Dad. It's me trying to keep going.And maybe most importantly, it's a reminder to call your people. Check on your people. Make time for your parents. Say the shit you think you'll have time to say later. Because this life shit isn't guaranteed. ❤️‍

Can we love Jesus and still struggle with anxiety, depression, or OCD? This week I'm joined by Emy Moore Brookins, host of the Saved Not Soft podcast and someone I love like a little sister, for a conversation about mental health, church hurt, and trusting God through suffering.Emy opens up about recent diagnoses, her experience with spiritual abuse, and how she's navigating therapy while remaining rooted in her faith. Together, we talk about the stigma surrounding mental health in Christian spaces, the freedom of being honest about what you're facing, and what it looks like to seek help while trusting the Lord.We discuss social media, the pressure to perform, and protecting intimacy with God while serving others, as well as living a faith that reaches beyond what we post online.If you're navigating church hurt, wrestling with your mental health, or trying to stay close to Jesus in a difficult season, my prayer is that this episode helps you feel less alone and encourages you to be honest with Him right where you are.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if you aren't broken and don't need to be “fixed”? In Fishing Without Bait Episode 533, host Jim Ellermeyer welcomes Melissa Carey for Part 1 of a four-part conversation about mindfulness, anxiety, self-awareness, and reconnecting with ourselves. Melissa begins with a powerful reflection on learning to love who she is today. From there, she and Jim explore her belief that we are already whole, even when layers of experience, relationships, expectations, and our own self-talk make that wholeness difficult to recognize. Melissa discusses the anxiety and life transitions that often bring people looking for support and explains why listening is at the heart of her approach. Drawing from her background in music therapy and her work with sound, meditation, breathwork, and energy practices, she shares one deceptively simple starting point: notice your breath. Jim and Melissa also discuss mindfulness during both difficult and positive moments, learning from obstacles, practicing coping tools before a crisis arrives, and why sometimes the most helpful next step is simply encouraging someone to seek an impartial ear through counseling or therapy. This is Part 1 of our conversation with Melissa Carey.

Managing type 2 diabetes can change over time, but having the right information for your patients can make those changes feel a lot more manageable. CGM can help your patients see what's happening with their blood sugar and guide what comes next.In this episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. Steve Edelman and Dr. Jeremy Pettus discuss how continuous glucose monitoring is changing the way type 2 diabetes is managed for your patients, especially as treatment needs evolve over time. They explain why type 2 diabetes can progress from lifestyle changes and oral medications to GLP-1 therapies and insulin, and why needing insulin isn't a personal failure. They also explore how seeing glucose data in real time can help your patients better understand how meals, exercise, medications, and insulin affect their glucose throughout the day. The conversation gets practical with how CGM can help guide your patients' transition to basal insulin, make insulin adjustments easier and safer, and identify when mealtime insulin may be needed. Dr. Edelman and Dr. Pettus explain what overnight glucose patterns can tell you about your patients' basal insulin dose, how to recognize post-meal spikes, and why starting mealtime insulin doesn't necessarily mean adding injections at every meal for your patients. They also discuss newer basal insulins, avoiding too much basal insulin, and how automated insulin delivery systems may fit into the future of type 2 diabetes management. Ultimately, CGM gives your patients living with type 2 diabetes more than glucose numbers. It provides feedback that can help them recognize patterns, see how their treatment is working, and work with their healthcare team to make more informed adjustments as their diabetes management needs change.Key Topics:Why type 2 diabetes treatment needs can change over timeHow insulin resistance and declining insulin production affect glucose managementWhy needing insulin is not a personal failureHow CGM use is expanding in type 2 diabetesUsing CGM with lifestyle changes, oral medications, GLP-1 therapies, and insulinWhat time in range, GMI, and glucose variability can tell youHow CGM can help determine when basal insulin may be neededUsing overnight glucose patterns to adjust basal insulinWhy insulin titration matters more than the initial starting doseHow CGM can make insulin adjustments easier and saferWhen mealtime insulin may be neededWhy mealtime insulin doesn't always have to be taken with every mealHow to recognize and avoid too much basal insulinThe benefits of newer long-acting basal insulinsWhen patients with type 2 diabetes may want to consider an insulin pump or automated insulin delivery systemHow real-time glucose feedback can help people take a more active role in their diabetes management✨ Subscribe for practical diabetes management tips, technology updates, and treatment breakthroughs that help people with diabetes live healthier, more flexible lives.More diabetes resources:Website: tcoyd.orgBlog: tcoyd.org/blogPodcast: tcoydthepodcast.transistor.fmInstagram:   / tcoydFacebook:   / tcoydStay connected!

What happens when we stop suppressing our emotions—but also stop letting them control us?In this episode of the Unity Manifest Podcast, Gary talks with Marty Simon, retired NYU professor, meditation teacher, spiritual teacher, and author of Spirituality for Effective Living.Marty shares a practical approach to what he calls releasing emotions: witnessing what we feel in the body, allowing the emotional energy to move, and learning to stop automatically reacting to every trigger.The conversation moves through meditation, grief, anger, relationships, the ego mind, gratitude, and the difference between simply feeling an emotion and actually processing it.They also explore a bigger question: What if peace, joy, and love are not things we have to find outside ourselves?A grounded conversation about spirituality as something you practice—not simply something you believe.Find Marty Simon on Substack: MartySimon.Substack.comMore from Unity Manifest: UnityManifest.comAppleSpotify

Every time a caregiver sets something aside to deal with later, a box gets added to the attic. Then the garage. Then the crawlspace. Then the storage unit down the street. In this conversation with Rick Kahler, death doula and financial planner Rose explores what happens when helpers — caregivers, financial professionals, first responders — never go back for step two. She describes witnessing as one of the most transformational acts one human can offer another, and explains why it demands more interior work than most people realize. Rick connects her insights to IFS in ways that surprise even him. The two land on a truth that applies far beyond end-of-life care: you can't take a client somewhere you haven't gone yourself, and the boxes you haven't unpacked have a way of showing up anyway, usually at the worst possible moment. #RoseZealand, #RickKahler, #DeathDoula, #FinancialPlanner, #FinancialTherapy, #Caregiving, #CaregiverSupport, #Witnessing, #IFS, #InternalFamilySystems, #EmotionalHealing, #GriefSupport, #EndOfLifeCare, #MentalWellness, #BurnoutPrevention, #CompassionFatigue, #HelpingProfessionals, #FinancialPsychology, #EmotionalResilience, #PersonalGrowth, #TraumaInformedCare, #SelfAwareness, #HolisticHealing, #FinancialWellness, #LifeTransitions, #EmotionalIntelligence, #TherapeuticPresence, #HealingJourney, #ProfessionalDevelopment, #ClientCare A podcast that blends the nuts and bolts of financial advice with the emotions that drive our money decisions.

Sometimes the hardest accomplishment to recognize is your own. In Part 2 of Jim Ellermeyer's conversation with sportscaster Austin Cairns, Austin opens up about learning to slow down and appreciate the people, experiences, and accomplishments already in his life. Austin talks about the trusted circle of family and longtime friends who have been there for him and how, especially during college, constantly trying to “go, go, go” could quickly lead to burnout. More recently, he has learned to put down the phone, step away from the computer, spend time with his family, and remember that time may be more valuable than money. The conversation also follows Austin's educational and professional journey from CCAC to Point Park University and into the world of sports broadcasting. He recalls helping create a live charity event at Point Park that combined sports, entertainment, media, and professional wrestling and ultimately raised more than $365,000. But even after accomplishing something that significant, Austin admits that being proud of himself didn't come naturally. Jim and Austin discuss the difference between arrogance and confidence and why recognizing your own progress doesn't mean putting yourself above anyone else. For Austin, that lesson also meant realizing that the kid who grew up watching professional wrestling was now calling matches, working in sports, creating content, and meeting people he once watched on television. Austin also shares how an internship with an independent wrestling promotion gave him a foot in the door, what he learned from experienced broadcasters, and why storytelling is such an important part of professional wrestling commentary. It's a conversation about gratitude, purpose, family, ambition, burnout, confidence, and giving yourself permission to acknowledge how far you've already come.

Send us Fan MailHey friends, welcome!What if the weight we're really carrying isn't on our bodies at all? I walk through five things I've watched show up again and again in every real transformation I've witnessed — in my own life, with my coaching clients, and on the teams, I led over 31 years in public service — honesty, acceptance, commitment, humility, and love. And how each one helps you set down whatever's heavy right now, whether that's a habit, a relationship, a job, or anything else. Quote of the Week“Do you want to be right more than you want to know the truth? It's the truth that set me free. Acceptance, peace, and less attachment to a world of suffering are all effects of doing The Work. They're not the goals. Do The Work for the love of freedom, for the love of truth.”— Byron KatieCitations•       Hayes, S.C., Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life: The New Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; ACT-for-weight research reviewed in Effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on Weight, Eating Behaviours and Psychological Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis, Eating and Weight Disorders (2023)•       Ferrari, J.R., Groh, D.R., Rulka, G., Jason, L.A. & Davis, M.I., Coming to Terms With Reality: Predictors of Self-Deception Within Substance Abuse Recovery, Addictive Disorders & Their Treatment (2008)•       Ayres, I., Carrots and Sticks: Unlock the Power of Incentives to Get Things Done; Milkman, K., How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be; commitment-making research reviewed in The Effect of Commitment-Making on Weight Loss and Behaviour Change in Adults with Obesity/Overweight, BMC Public Health (2019)•       Collins, J., Good to Great (Level 5 Leadership); Chandler, J.A. et al., A Meta-Analysis of Humble Leadership: Reviewing Individual, Team, and Organizational Outcomes of Leader Humility, The Leadership Quarterly (2023)•       Waldinger, R., The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness; Harvard Study of Adult Development (adultdevelopmentstudy.org)Let's go, let's get it done.Get more information at: http://projectweightloss.org

What happens when you're trained to tell everyone else's story but never given the space to process what those stories are doing to you?Before becoming the CEO of Healium, Sarah Hill spent years working in television news. She covered homicides, domestic violence, grieving parents, court cases and some of the worst days of people's lives. Like many journalists, there wasn't always an opportunity to stop and process what she had witnessed before moving on to the next story. Eventually, Sarah realized those experiences had accumulated.On this episode of Groove with Portia, Sarah and I have a conversation that hits close to home for both of us as former television journalists. We talk about the stories journalists carry long after the cameras turn off, career transitions, resilience and why our paths don't always have to be linear.We also explore the technology Sarah went on to build. Healium uses virtual reality with biofeedback and neurofeedback to allow users to visualize changes in things like heart rate and brain patterns while experiencing immersive environments. Sarah describes it as “media as medicine”—using storytelling and immersive media as tools for self-awareness and self-regulation.But one of the most important parts of our conversation is what Healium isn't. Sarah emphasizes that the technology is not a diagnostic tool and isn't intended to replace medication or professional counseling. Instead, she sees it as another tool that can work alongside human care.Because no matter how sophisticated our technology becomes, sometimes what a person needs most is another human being willing to see them.And perhaps Sarah's biggest reminder is that finding your groove doesn't require following a straight path. Sometimes the unexpected turns give us exactly what we need for whatever we're meant to build next.Connect with Sarah Hill and learn more about Healium:https://tryhealium.com/

In Part 1 of our conversation with Austin Cairns, Jim Ellermeyer explores how a shy kid who wasn't sure what he wanted to do began creating a path toward broadcasting. Austin grew up in Carnegie, Pennsylvania, attending a small high school where opportunities could be limited. Then the COVID-19 pandemic arrived during his high school years. Remote learning, isolation, uncertainty, fear for his frontline-worker parents, and spending most of his time at home left Austin feeling increasingly complacent and unsure about what came next. A seemingly ordinary moment with his father changed his perspective. While watching ESPN together, Austin's father told him he could imagine his son working in television. Austin didn't immediately believe him. At the time, he considered himself shy and struggled to imagine speaking comfortably into a microphone, much less appearing on camera. But Austin tried. He started looking for opportunities wherever he could find them. His first announcing experience came introducing his high school's marching band during football halftime. That small opportunity connected him with his first mentor in broadcasting and eventually led to announcing more school sports. Austin also began creating his own practice. He muted television broadcasts and attempted play-by-play himself. He practiced wrestling commentary. He cut mock promos. He recorded his voice and listened back, even when hearing himself made him cringe. That discomfort became part of the education. Jim and Austin discuss the importance of repetition, getting outside the comfort zone, learning through failure, and being willing to ask, “How can I improve this?” Austin also reflects on the people who helped him move forward, including his family and Pittsburgh broadcasting mentor Alby Oxenreiter. A relationship that began with Austin listening closely to an experienced broadcaster eventually developed into a moment where Austin was asked to take the lead himself. Underlying the entire conversation is something central to Fishing Without Bait: we don't have to wait until we feel completely ready before taking action. Sometimes the first step is simply trying.

Clinical psychologist and mental wellness expert Dr. Akira Olsen, PsyD, joins Coach Dini on Vigilantes Radio Live for a deeply reflective conversation surrounding her newest book, The Journey to Self: Practical Exercises for Building a Positive Relationship with Yourself and Transforming Your Mental Health.In a culture saturated with therapy language, self-care content and pressure to appear okay, Dr. Olsen explores the difference between understanding mental health and actually practicing the behaviors that support it.The conversation examines why small, sustainable changes often outperform dramatic attempts at reinvention, how perfectionism can disguise itself as ambition, why self-compassion doesn't mean lowering your standards, and what happens when wellness itself becomes another performance.Dr. Olsen also discusses trauma, boundaries, self-forgiveness, financial stress, emotional overwhelm, burnout and the relationship between mind and body—while explaining how her upbringing in Tokyo, practice of Kendo and extensive Western clinical training shaped her integrated approach to psychological care.For anyone feeling stressed, overstimulated, exhausted or disconnected from themselves, this conversation asks a deceptively simple question:What would change if you stopped treating yourself like a problem that needed to be fixed and started building a relationship with the person who's actually living your life?Book:https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Self-Practical-Relationship-Transforming-ebook/dp/B0DQCH4YBD/Websites:www.drakira.comhttps://journeytoself.clinic/Socials:Instagram: instagram.com/drakira94111TikTok: tiktok.com/@drakira94111LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/drakiraBrainz Magazine-https://www.brainzmagazine.com/executive-contributor/akira-d-olsenhttps://www.brainzmagazine.com/post/how-journey-health-is-redefining-mental-wellness-for-a-global-culturally-diverse-worldBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/vigilantes-radio-live--2166168/support.Vigilantes Radio Live! by The Only One Media Group ℗©2025Episode Credits:Produced, edited, mixed, and written by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Artwork designed by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Show Introduction by KateSegment jingles composed & produced by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Additional music licensed through 7th Sign RecordingsLinks:onlyonemediagroup.comhttps://www.instagram.com/vigilantesradio/https://www.iheart.com/podcast/966-vigilantes-radio-live-29999229/https://www.instagram.com/whodiniblakin3d/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26009230/To support our show, please leave reviews, ratings, or you can help fuel the passion over at buymeacoffee.com/vigilantesradioEmail us at onlyonemgt@gmail.com or vradio@onlyonemediagroup.com

What if your anxiety isn't just emotional? What if your body is missing specific nutrients your brain needs to feel calm, focused, and balanced? In this episode, I'm breaking down the nutrient deficiencies that can sometimes look and feel like anxiety. But nutrients are only part of the story. We'll also investigate how gut health, nutrient absorption, thyroid function, inflammation, and hormone changes during perimenopause may all play a role in how you feel.Because treating symptoms is only one approach.Understanding why they're happening is where real healing begins.✔️ The connection between your nervous system and healthy digestion✔️ Simple morning habits that may improve gut function naturallyIf you've been dealing with bloating, constipation, reflux, gas, or sluggish digestion, this video will help you understand why the symptom isn't always the real problem.You can also watch the full video here.

Send us Fan MailI've stood in front of a thousand people on a livestream and thought, what were you thinking, Fi? Sit yourself down. If you've ever felt that same drop in your stomach — before a flight, a hard conversation, a moment in the spotlight — you know exactly the feeling I mean. Your brain convinces you the worst is about to happen, and no amount of logic seems to shut it up. This isn't a five-step fix, and I'm not here to hand you a formula — some things are bigger than that. By the end of this episode, I don't think you'll be asking how to get rid of your fear anymore, because honestly, that was never really the point. Stick around for a piece of brain research that surprised even me, and a quote at the end I want you sitting with all week long. Press play, give me twenty minutes, and let's talk about what's actually waiting for you on the other side of your fear.Quote of the Week"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear." — Ambrose RedmoonCitationsDartmouth College research on amygdala function, published in Nature Communications (2025) — the amygdala functions less like a primitive alarm bell and more like a mediator weighing competing responses.

We all carry things we were never meant to hold forever.Stress. Grief. Expectations. Worry. Regret.In this guided meditation led by Mia, you'll imagine carrying a heavy sandbag filled with everything that's weighing you down. But as the practice unfolds, something begins to change.A small hole appears.Then, grain by grain, the sand begins to fall away.With each breath, the burden becomes a little lighter.
