Anger can be a scary topic for a lot of people. It usually doesn't feel good when you're experiencing it and it can be associated with behaviors that are very frightening indeed. But Dr. Ryan Martin, who is one of the few academics specializing in anger and who has written two books about it, says anger is a normal and even beneficial emotion to experience. It's your body's way of indicating that some injustice has been done, either to you or someone else. And that's good information to have. He says that if we can listen to anger for what it's telling us about ourselves and our surroundings, without throwing punches, it can lead to a more balanced and thoughtful life and, in the end, a more peaceful life. He also shares why so-called rage rooms are not really good for your anger at all (it's kind of like drinking in a bar to address your alcoholism) and how he's taught his own kids to own their anger and process it.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

Judson Brewer, MD, PhD (“Dr. Jud”), is a New York Times best-selling author and a leading authority on habit change and the science of self-mastery. He serves as the Director of Research and Innovation at the Mindfulness Center and as a professor at Brown University. An internationally recognized psychiatrist specializing in mindfulness for addiction, Dr. Jud has developed innovative mindfulness programs for smoking cessation, emotional eating, and anxiety. He has investigated the neural mechanisms of mindfulness using standard and real-time fMRI and EEG neurofeedback. He has trained U.S. Olympic athletes, coaches, and foreign government ministers. His work has been featured on “60 Minutes,” TED (one of the most-viewed talks of 2016 with over 20 million views), The New York Times, Time magazine, Forbes, BBC, NPR, and more. Today on the show we discuss: why anxiety isn't random but reinforced through habit loops and how understanding your brain changes everything, how dopamine drives both addiction and worry and why bad habits feel easier to form than good ones, the critical difference between fear worry and anxiety and how confusing them keeps people stuck, why willpower fails under stress and how curiosity becomes the fastest way to break anxiety cycles, how mindfulness works at a neuroscience level without meditation jargon or sitting on a cushion, and why anxiety has become an identity online and what actually helps people reduce it instead of managing it forever. ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to health and mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.

Today Vanessa Bennett returned to the show and we unpacked how parenthood reshapes identity and intimacy, from the weight of expectations on mothers and fathers to the quiet struggles new parents rarely name. I pressed into the difference between craving and true desire, why shared purpose matters, and the real challenges men face growing emotional intelligence. We also looked at dismantling dominator models, strengthening the relationship with self, and clearing up common myths about partnership. Bottom line, self-awareness and open communication are the backbone of healthy, connected relationships.

"In the Process, I came to realize ... how nature in my own life had been such a healing force." - James Bonilla We wrap up season 11 with New York-born Puerto Rican writer and retired professor emeritus, James Bonilla. James's story is filled with transformation, healing, and wisdom. Born with congenital cataracts, at the age of nine, his right eye was injured in school by a fellow student's actions. For over ten years, James was blind. At the age of 19, doctors removed the cataracts (although the childhood injury remained). On his way home from the hospital, he remembers seeing the world in Technicolor through his own eyes. As a writer, James was comfortable writing about his identities as a Puerto Rican and a person with impaired sight. But it wasn't until he did the Process that he could accept his family's struggle with mental illness. He released patterns of shame that stemmed from his experiences of abandonment as a young child. In accepting his own mental illness, James found deeper healing of those issues through the power of nature. He realized that nature had been a constant source of healing throughout his life. Upon graduating, James felt called to share his experience healing mental illness with others. Because of his work at the Process, James emerged emboldened to share this experience in his new memoir, An Eye for An I. We hope you enjoy this inspiring conversation with James and Drew. We'll be back in early 2026 with season 12 of the Hoffman Podcast. Content Warning: This episode mentions suicide and includes intense emotional content and targeted racism. Please use your discretion. If you or someone you know is suicidal, reach out to The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255), or message the Crisis Text Line at 741741. More about James Bonilla James Francisco Bonilla is a New York-born Puerto Rican writer and retired professor emeritus of cultural competence and leadership at Hamline University in St. Paul, MN. James was born with congenital cataracts and has never had sight in his left eye. Following a racially-motivated assault at age nine, he lost much of his remaining sight in the right eye. Ten years later, a medical breakthrough restored sight to his right eye. Seeking relief and inspiration, he found unexpected solace in the natural world. This discovery led him toward both personal healing and advocacy work. Due to his experiences, James was drawn into the early disability rights movement and community organizing. This helped shape his work as a nationally recognized social justice educator and environmentalist. James received his doctoral degree from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, School of Education in Organizational Leadership. He is a former Chair of the Faculty Advisory Committee to the National Conference on Racial & Ethnic Diversity in American Higher Education. He has made hundreds of presentations to universities, conferences, and human service organizations in the area of diversity, including outdoor education and environmental programs. His memoir, An Eye for An I: Growing Up With Blindness, Bigotry, and Family Mental Illness, was just released by the University of Minnesota Press. In it, he invites readers to empathize and consider their own potential to be of service in a broken, yet beautiful world. Read more about James' memoir on Hamline University's site.

Some podcast apps may not display links from our show notes properly, so we have included a list of links at the end of this description. * Why do we assume romantic relationships are more important than friendships? In this episode, clinical psychologist Margaret Boucher has an illuminating conversation with NPR journalist Rhaina Cohen on the power of platonic partnerships and how the thrill, intimacy, and commitment we seek is often found through meaningful friendship. * Sharing insights from her years of original reporting and social science research, Rhaina argues that we undermine romantic relationships by expecting too much of them and diminish friendships by expecting too little of them. At a time when many Americans are spending large stretches of their lives single, widowed, divorced, or feeling the effects of the "loneliness epidemic," Rhaina challenges us to ask what we want from our relationships—not just what we're supposed to want—and helps us to examine how we define a fulfilling life. * This episode was recorded during a live online event on July 31st, 2025.

Les, Kurt, and Jason are here to talk about Hallmark's Holiday Touchdown A Bills Love Story, but Les hasn't even watched the movie that he made Jason and Kurt watch! But Les is somewhat forgiven after recounting his very long day. Then Jason announces that Kurt's Turkey Trot 5K time was better than Les', so Les is now forced to denounce all things Sarah Jessica Parker (though he only offers a full-throated denouncement of Sex and the City 2). Plus, in Blac Chyna news, there are rumblings she may be back together with Rob Kardashian! Then, it's time for Hallmark's latest NFL-adjacent movie which is heavy on cameos from former and current Buffalo Bills players and light on acting lessons for them. But with so many familiar faces for Bills fans and so many different rubbings in a car at night, this movie is charming in its propaganda to legitimize a stadium boondoggle.    As the actors onscreen are living seemingly picturesque lives in the movies talked about on this podcast, it can also make this time of year especially challenging to navigate. If you or someone you know is struggling, The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline provides confidential emotional support to people in suicidal crisis or emotional distress by dialing 988.    Bluesky: lifetimeofhallmark Facebook : lifetimeofhallmark Instagram : lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast Threads: lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast TikTok: lifetimeofhallmarkpod Theme song generously donated by purple-planet.com  

Maureen Johnson loves mysteries. Loves reading classic detective fiction and loves writing mystery stories, which young readers have been gobbling up for years. Some of Maureen's stories feature teenage sleuth Stevie Bell, who, besides having a knack for solving cold cases, deals with an anxiety disorder. It's not all there is to Stevie, of course, but it's definitely there and she has to manage it on an ongoing basis. Maureen tells us about Stevie and about her own recent anxiety mystery when she was suddenly whomped by a massive wave of anxiety that would not go away and severely affected her life for quite a while. Faced with that mystery, Maureen got to work gathering clues to figure it out, ultimately finding many effective techniques, including to fighting the anxiety monster (which she visualizes as Gossamer, the big red furry monster from Bugs Bunny cartoons) but welcoming it, getting to know it, and finding out what made it tick. She also got some lab work done, which pointed to a pronounced iron problem that was fixable.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

In 2009, attorney ⁠Jonny McCoy asked a simple question: "Why are you arresting him?" That question led to his own arrest, fabricated charges, a suicide witnessed in jail, four years of malicious prosecution, and a complete mental breakdown that nearly cost him his life. Now, after years of intensive trauma treatment and a move to Denver to rebuild his mind, Jonny is back practicing law in South Carolina—representing the very people targeted by the corruption he survived. In this Thanksgiving week episode, he walks us through his journey from practicing insurance defense to becoming one of the state's most prominent civil rights attorneys, including his work on the Julian Betton case that resulted in an $11.25 million settlement after Horry County police fired 29 shots at a man over $100 worth of marijuana. Investigative journalists ⁠Mandy Matney⁠ and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠ and attorney ⁠Jonny McCoy pulls no punches discussing SLED's role and, and what actually needs to change to fix corruption in law enforcement. He also opens up about living with PTSD, surviving multiple suicide attempts, and why he's grateful for the truth-tellers who make this work possible. This episode includes frank discussions of suicide, mental health struggles, police violence, and incarceration trauma.

Cotard's delusion, also known as Cotard's syndrome, is an extremely rare condition where the patient believes that they are actually dead. For the bestselling author Esmé Weijun Wang, Cotard's came along after she had already been traveling a difficult road that involved schizoaffective disorder along with a host of other mental health issues. While experiencing Cotard's, Esmé urgently told her husband that he was dead too and so was their dog. She believed, was certain, that the life she was experiencing was kind of a simulation where she had to prove herself worthy of a second chance and not an eternity in Hell. We also hear about the shocking way Yale handled Esmé's mental health and about the trauma very early in childhood that she thinks led to the complex PTSD that fueled a lot of her mental health challenges.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, Shane sits down with fashion entrepreneur, social commerce innovator, and newly minted author Christos Garkinos, a man whose journey from Detroit to luxury fashion, Bravo TV, and running a $100M live-streaming network is impressive enough… but who's even more proud of one thing: staying sober. Christos opens up about growing up with Greek immigrant parents, working with major brands like Disney and Virgin Megastores, pioneering the luxury resale world, and ultimately launching Covet by Christos, a massive community-driven luxury platform featured in places like Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and The New York Times. But his latest creation might be his most personal yet: his first book, Covet the Comeback. Together, Shane and Christos unpack why consistency matters, not just in sobriety, but in business, identity, spiritual growth, and making a comeback when life humbles you. They talk about what it means to just show up, surrender control, and let God work in places hustle alone won't fix. Key Takeaways • Comebacks require consistency, not perfection. Just show up, tell the truth, and let the work compound. • Sobriety creates space for identity, not the other way around. When alcohol stops leading, purpose can start. • God moves when you move. Taking action opens doors that prayer alone can't.

You may find the charges in this episode jarring: depression is not the result of a chemical imbalance, SSRIs aren't necessarily antidepressants, and the term you use for your mental health condition isn't scientifically valid. Sarah Fay, author of Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses says it's dangerous to identify with your diagnosis because it's kind of made up and it blocks your path to recovery.A doctor told her she was “an anorexic” when Sarah was 12 years old, even though she didn't meet many of the criteria for anorexia. Sarah embraced the identity, taking on the behaviors and habits of a person with that eating disorder. Later in life, she was diagnosed with five more disorders, each time embracing the tag, all while her mental health deteriorated. Finally, another doctor said he didn't know what was the matter with her and that gave Sarah some peace and a chance to focus on feeling better. She saw her mental makeup as something not bound by the names of disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual used by mental health professionals. While she still takes meds and sees a therapist and a psychiatrist, Sarah has come to believe that everyone's focus needs to be on recovery rather than focusing on the limitations borne of terms she says are way too subjective and that don't stand up to scientific scrutiny.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

Content note: This episode includes discussion of suicide and mental health. If you or someone you know needs support in the U.S., call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, appellate attorney and Florida Bar leader Robin Bresky joins host Steve Riley for a candid and deeply human conversation about building a thriving law practice and a meaningful life after unimaginable loss. Robin's story shines a light on lawyer mental health, resilience, and the power of purpose. She shares how she grew from running a solo home office to leading a seven-lawyer appellate firm and eventually merging with a New York powerhouse. Her success wasn't built on cold calls or advertising; it was fueled by community involvement, bar leadership, and genuine relationships grounded in trust and service. After the tragic loss of her son to suicide, Robin found herself drawing on the very tools she had developed through years of Atticus coaching. Time management, planning, and focus became lifelines as she rebuilt one day at a time. Her experience highlights how intentional structure and clear boundaries can help lawyers navigate grief and return to their practice with clarity and strength. Robin also shares why lawyer mental health needs open, stigma-free conversations. In 2018, she founded the Attorney Wellness Exchange, which has helped countless professionals make wellness a priority. She discusses how physical fitness, mindfulness, and self-care can sustain emotional well-being in high-pressure careers and why checking in with struggling colleagues can truly save lives. This episode is about more than overcoming tragedy. It is a masterclass in transforming pain into purpose. Robin reminds us that community builds referrals, wellness builds strength, and courage builds a life worth living. If you or someone you know is struggling, call 988 (National Suicide Prevention Lifeline). In this episode, you will hear: Importance of wellness and self-care in the legal profession   Creation and impact of the Attorney Wellness Exchange   Building a referral engine through genuine relationships and community involvement   Destigmatizing mental health and the challenges of grief   Role of mentorship, community support, and professional development in overcoming adversity   Embracing resilience and intentional living for personal and professional fulfillment   Subscribe & ReviewNever miss an episode.

Over half the employees at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) who were there in January are now gone, include 12 of the 17 senior leaders. SAMHSA is in charge of distributing and administering mental health programs around the country and the cuts to both staffing and to the programs the agency serves have meant many programs addressing addiction and suicide prevention being severely hobbled or shutting down altogether. In turn, that means fewer people getting help and more people suffering. O. Rose Broderick, Disability and Healthcare Reporting Fellow at Stat, joins us to explain the cuts, why they may be happening, and the extremely fragile state of these programs in America today. Rose also share her own connection to mental health, the struggles her own family has endured, and why all mental health stories are, at their heart, personal matters.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

When we went looking for information on the condition known as seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, one of the first things we noticed was that some people aren't even calling it that anymore. The website for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), for instance, uses the term “major depressive disorder with a seasonal pattern”, which means an acronym of MDDWASP. Here at Depresh Mode, we're perfectly fine referring to it as “mud wasp”. On this episode of the show, we talk with NAMI's chief medical officer, Dr. Ken Duckworth, about how it's similar to and different from traditional depression and what one could do to deal with it. With Ken, we discuss the less common and less understood spring and summer variety of MDDWASP. We also hear from Joy and Christina from our Preshies group on Facebook about their experiences.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.
