909. Blake Mycoskie built TOMS into a $600 million brand and gave away more than 100 million pairs of shoes — then fell into a seven-year battle with clinical depression after selling the company. He talks with Rachel Cooke about why outward success never made him feel like enough, the limiting belief that drove him for decades, and the small, everyday practices — not the dramatic interventions — that finally pulled him through. He also shares what he's learned interviewing guests like Matthew McConaughey, Kevin Love, and Jewel (whose memoir "Never Broken" he recommends) on his mental wellness podcast "No Magic Pill," plus the story behind Enough, the brand he founded to fund mental health organizations. If you're a high performer who ties your worth to your latest win, this conversation is for you.Content note: this episode discusses depression and suicidal ideation.Modern Mentor is a Quick and Dirty Tips Podcast, hosted by Rachel Cooke!Find more from Rachel at LeadAboveNoise.com.Have a question for Modern Mentor?

Today, I'm speaking with Aliza Tropper. Aliza is a licensed psychotherapist and the founder of Heartful Mental Health, a therapy practice based in Cedarhurst, NY. Aliza has more than a decade of experience helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She takes a holistic approach, integrating mind, body and soul, and uses evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and more.Her work combines practical tools with deep emotional insight to help people create meaningful, lasting change that is in alignment with their values.This conversation is all about a whole lot of that. I've been thinking so much about healing lately. In our social media focused world, healing can sometimes be contained to 1 or 2-minute sound bites or six-slide carousel posts when in reality, it's hard to fit our lives in a box. While there is so much learning, community and validation that can come from social media, a lot can also be lost. Sometimes it feels like if we just did this one thing that this Instagram post is saying, we would be better — if we just read that one book or bought that one product, we would finally feel healed or have the lives we wanted. We need to remember to go outside the screen to have those real conversations and debrief and connect — there is never a substitute for that.As I spoke to Aliza, I realized that with all the chasing, there also has to be recognition of what is being accomplished every day, there has to be space for emotion — all of them — for the duality of what makes someone human. Becoming healed isn't a destination that you stay at, but a vibrant journey that continues to bring us to new levels of growth. Aliza is so good about breaking down some of the big concepts we see or hear about and making them understandable and really feel doable.In the episode, we speak about:-How healing itself can become an addiction-What DBT and CBT are — the differences between them and how we can utilize them for growth-How to live more in alignment with our values-What to do when uncomfortable emotions arise-How we can work to reprogram our nervous systems to feel more calm-How to live life with more intention-How to break free of comparison culture and a consumer-based society-How to make friends as an adult and why it feels different than it may have before-How to work on building self-esteem-The power of integrating spirituality in your healing journey…and so much more!To learn more from Aliza or to work with her, visit Heartfulmentalhealth.comFind her on Instagram @alizathetherapistEmail her at Aliza@heartfulmentalhealth.com

Some of the heaviest things we carry aren't even ours — they were handed down so quietly we never noticed. In this episode, Mechelle sits down with Lisa Hartle, a neurofeedback practitioner, coach, and author of I Was Never Broken, to talk about what happens when your body finally stops letting you outrun your past. Lisa shares how a perfect storm — empty nesting, a cross-state move, a job she hated, and anxiety she'd never experienced before — cracked open five memories she'd spent a lifetime shoving and stuffing. What followed was one of the most honest healing journeys you'll hear: writing 20 ways each painful experience had blessed her life, going back as her adult self to sit with a three-year-old girl who had taken on shame that was never hers, and ultimately breaking a generational chain of addiction and silence that had run through her family for decades. This conversation covers bone beliefs, the "sonic boom" of delayed trauma, epigenetics, IFS, and why true gratitude can't be rushed to — it has to be earned through the journey. If you've ever thought, "That was a long time ago, I should be over it" — this one's for you. I Was Never Broken is available on Amazon.

What if your symptoms weren't signs of failure… but intelligent messages from your body?

What if the version of you that you’ve been trying to fix was already whole this entire time? What if the endless journaling, the shadow work, the inner child workshops, the breathwork retreats, and the constant quest to “do the work” have actually become the very thing keeping you from stepping into your true power? What if the real breakthrough isn’t another modality, but a remembrance of what was always there? In this deeply activating episode, intuitive energy worker and quantum philosopher Gabi Kovalenko reveals why so many intelligent, self-aware people remain stuck in the same loops no matter how much work they do on themselves. She explains why coherence across every dimension of your being matters more than raising your vibration, why the feminine energy rising on the planet right now cannot be ignored, and why wholeness was never something you had to earn. It was your birthright all along. This is a conversation for anyone who has been on a spiritual path for years and still feels like something is missing, for anyone who senses they are meant for more but cannot seem to break through. Because the answer was never outside of you. It lives in the space between the notes, in the stillness between breaths, and in the quiet knowing you have been trying to think your way back to. The Woman Who Never Needed a Script Gabi Kovalenko didn’t choose this path. It chose her. From a young age, she found herself writing about themes of intuition, self-awareness, and the deeper questions of existence, channelling wisdom that seemed to flow through her rather than from her. She never uses a teleprompter. She never scripts a video. When people ask whether she is using AI or reading from notes, the answer is always the same: the wisdom comes from embodiment, not preparation. “It more flowed from a place of not getting in the way of this energy and consciousness that’s trying to come through me,” Gabi explains. Originally drawn to traditional medicine, she quickly grew disillusioned with the limitations of conventional approaches and discovered that true transformation operates through subtle energy and the deeper root causes that mainstream systems often overlook. The Trap Nobody Talks About Gabi names a pattern that millions of people are caught in without realising it: the glamourisation of the healing journey. Shadow work, she says, is necessary. Looking into the eyes of the pain body and understanding your roots is part of the process. But staying lodged in those layers is where people stagnate. “It’s kind of like an obsession with going through the healing or relating to the pain body and sometimes even glamourising that part of the spiritual journey, which can keep somebody in victim consciousness and slow down the ignition of their true purpose.” Her alternative is coherence: aligning not just mentally, not just physically, not just spiritually, but across every dimension of your conscious experience simultaneously. When even one layer is excluded, the subconscious manifests circumstances to bring attention to whatever remains unresolved. The Fire That Cannot Be Contained The conversation turns to the collective shift taking place right now, particularly for women. With Saturn and Neptune moving into Aries and the energy of the fire horse year igniting action, Gabi believes this is a juncture point where women who have been dwelling, stagnating, and feeling suppressed are being called to reclaim their power. “You can’t wait for permission anymore from anybody else. You can’t wait for people to apologise that inflicted the pain. You can’t hope for partners to change. And you can’t wait for anybody to do this work for you.” She also offers essential guidance for empaths, introducing the concept of a semi-permeable field. Rather than being energetically wide open and vulnerable to depletion, empaths can learn to maintain deep compassion while preserving their own energetic sovereignty through radical self-empathy and intentional boundary setting. About Gabi Kovalenko Gabi Kovalenko is a transformational thought leader, modern philosopher, and author of Falling Up. She integrates principles of noetic science, quantum physics, and positive psychology to reveal the power of consciousness and potentiality within all of life. Trained as a holistic healthcare practitioner and currently pursuing a Ph.D. in natural medicine, Gabi’s passion lies in inspiring a fresh awareness of life by disarming limiting beliefs and igniting a paradigm shift towards joy, abundance, and freedom. Key Takeaway You were never broken. The healing journey was never meant to become your identity. When you stop treating yourself as a project to fix and start generating coherence across every layer of your being, something extraordinary happens. The pendulum stops swinging. Peace sets in. And the version of you that was always whole begins to remember itself. Not through another course, another book, or another retreat, but through the radical act of trusting what already lives inside you.

How do we give voice to complex stories that defy words and the conventions of language? These stories, often of trauma or other profound lived experiences, reside not just in our heads and hearts, but in every cell in our body. Embodied stories are layered, complex, and often chaotic. They vie for expression but lack a means or a format to accommodate them. In this episode of Defining Moments, Dr. Marie Thompson, Professor of Communication at Wright State University, joins host Dr. Joe Bianco to share her pioneering work on narrative mapping. Narrative mapping is a form of visual storytelling born within a carefully cultivated relational setting. Through deep listening and guided questions, Marie creates space for participants to visually map their emerging stories, creating layered representations of their innermost experiences.

Send us a textForget everything you thought you knew about making it in music. Abdullah "Dulamite" Franklin pulls back the curtain on an industry built on smoke and mirrors, revealing why artists with millions of streams can still be broke while those you've never heard of are quietly building empires."A billion streams on Spotify equals fourteen thousand dollars," Franklin explains, cutting through the fantasy that streaming success equals financial freedom. As a rapper, songwriter, and entrepreneur who's written for some of the biggest names in music (though NDAs prevent him from naming most), he's navigated both the spotlight and the shadows of an industry that often exploits creative talent.Growing up as a Sunni Muslim in Las Vegas shaped Franklin's perspective as "an acquired taste" – someone unwilling to compromise authenticity for acceptance. From watching his brother get lyrically "murdered" in a neighborhood battle that inspired his own rap career, to facing religious stereotypes and industry blackballing after an altercation with a well-connected artist, his path has been anything but conventional.What sets Franklin apart is his business acumen. While many artists chase streams and social media followers, he's built a direct-to-consumer model that puts him in control of his data and dollars. "If somebody buys my album for $1, I got the 1,500 streams," he explains, but more importantly, "I know exactly who bought it, what city they're in. I get their email address, their phone number." This intelligence has allowed him to tour strategically in cities where his true fans live, not where streaming algorithms suggest.Beyond music, Franklin has diversified into beverage brands, clothing, and acting – embodying his "renaissance man" approach to creative entrepreneurship. His parting wisdom? "Let God be God, you do the rest" and "The decisions you make determine your destiny." For anyone looking to build something meaningful in a world of fleeting viral moments, this conversation is essential listening.

What if the key to healing isn't about fixing what's broken, but instead, rediscovering the truth of who you are? How do we move beyond suffering and step into self-trust, agency, and inner liberation? The essence of healing may not reside in mending what is perceived as broken, but rather in the profound journey of rediscovering one's authentic self. In our discourse today, we explore pivotal inquiries regarding transcending suffering and embracing self-trust, agency, and inner liberation. We are privileged to engage with Julian Bermudez, a transformational guide whose mission is to assist individuals in breaking free from entrenched patterns and rekindling their genuine identities. Julian advocates for a holistic approach that emphasizes self-inquiry, reflection, stillness, and the integration of psychedelic experiences, facilitating a nurturing environment for individuals to cultivate their inner relationships with honesty and joy. This conversation promises to inspire and challenge those who may feel trapped or disconnected, offering pathways toward a more empowered existence.Takeaways: The journey of healing involves rediscovering one's authentic self rather than merely fixing perceived brokenness. Transformational practices such as self-inquiry and reflection can facilitate deep and lasting change. Julian Bermudez emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with our emotions to navigate pain effectively. Understanding the roots of emotional pain and patterns of behavior is crucial for personal transformation.

November 13 2023 Monday Week 09 / A Study In Galatians God's Promise Never Broken #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

We meet our next guest, Jeff Jucha, at the Labyrinth Studios in downtown Little Rock. We would like to give a big shout-out to Marcus, the owner of the studio, for generously allowing us to use his space for the interview. Jeff is a Little Rock native who grew up with two caring parents, an above-ground pool, two Chevy Corsicas in the driveway, and of course, two golden retrievers. We laughed at this idyllic perception of his life, which in many ways, Jeff had, until the age of 15 when he was involved in a horrific car accident that took the lives of three people, including the person sitting next to him. Jeff was left with a mangled body that took years to recover physically. The physical recovery, the numerous operations, and setbacks, including almost losing his leg to infection, challenged Jeff, maybe even more so than his physical injuries but ultimately forged him mentally. Jeff found himself in the gym business and then in the health business, including coaching gym owners. He has a passion for helping others achieve their goals and live their best life. The Jar takes Jeff through some profound questions around love and relationships that you won't want to miss. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and how we can overcome even the most challenging obstacles in life.For more of Jeff, Check out:His TED TALK: https://youtu.be/khcap2Qnak8His instagram: @jrjucha For more of The Jar, visit:Website: https://www.thejar.live/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaTqB1dhDvl0Oh505ysdxTgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.thejarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejar_podcast/Disclaimer: The views stated in this episode are our guest's opinions and do not represent the views, beliefs or opinions of The Jar Podcast.

We're often told to “be who we are”. Thing is, there is no instruction manual on how to do that. That's why so many of us end up trying to change things about ourselves that we can't or that we don't need to. Because in our quest to be accepted, we forget that the things that make us different are actually our gifts.  This is why the journey to our best self isn't one of changing everything about ourselves, but, rather, a journey of learning how to love everything about ourselves. Of course, that's easier said than done. Which is why I recorded this episode. So, tune in as I share why it's so easy to fall into a trap of trying to change everything about ourselves and how to start loving yourself fully.    About The Erica Ballard Show  The Erica Ballard Show is a podcast for women ready to wake up to their true power. Through conversation and story, we examine what really has to change to go from where you are to where you want to be.    About Erica Ballard Erica is a woman who thought pinstripe suits, a size 4 body, and a corner office were the markings of success. But, after chasing those things, Erica realized that none of that stuff would make her happy (like, really happy). Because, as it turns out, her version of success looked much different than what she was conditioned to believe it should look like. After accepting that truth and honoring her own, Erica now lives a life she loves and is on a mission to help other women do the same through life coaching, women-focused workshops, and social media.

To celebrate Vanessa's birthday we are joined by a very special guest: JEWEL! That's right, we caught up with the acclaimed singer, actress and author to discuss the era before Starbucks where coffee shops were places to see live music and maybe even see Jewel demo songs that would go onto be nineties radio staples such as "Who Will Save Your Soul?" and "Foolish Games." We also discuss Jewel's career journey from a living on a remote homestead in Alaska to becoming a household name, Vanessa and Jewel's mutual love of Cyndi Lauper, how Jewel was able to channel her trauma into lasting art and how she came up with her own mental health curriculum by channeling her own "bunny nature." Finally we play a round of BACK TO THE PRESENT where we reminisce about The Body Shop, Dutch Apple Pop-Tarts and other nostalgic things that Jewel is a very good sport about discussing with us.

Multiplatinum recording artist Jewel has won many awards and performed at the Super Bowl — but how much do you really know about her? She grew up with no running water, was a homeless teenager in San Diego, and turned all that into music for her album “Pieces of You,” which is one of the bestselling debuts of all time. In this episode, Jewel discusses her anxiety disorder, her past traumas, and what different song lyrics from her vast catalog of music mean to her. She also tells us about her work with the Inspiring Children Foundation, a foundation that has spent the past 18 years empowering children who struggle with financial hardship, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation.  To learn more -- or read the transcript -- please visit the official episode page here.

It is that time of year again where we interview some of the Agatha Award Nominees. Watch Her by Edwin Hill (Kensington)Best Contemporary FictionEdwin Hill is the author of LITTLE COMFORT and THE MISSING ONES. He was born in Duxbury, Massachusetts, and spent most of his childhood obsessing over The Famous Five, Agatha Christie, and somehow finding a way into C.S. Lewis's wardrobe. His parents were fond of taking his sister and him on month-long family camping trips across the U.S. and Canada, and one of his best memories is of finishing a copy of The Seven Dials Mystery while the rest of the family visited Mount Rushmore. Growing up when VHS tapes were new meant that watching Alien, Jaws, The Shining, or Halloween whenever he wanted seemed luxurious, and still does today. Like Hester Thursby, he watched these movies – and others like them – a lot. After attending Wesleyan University and graduating with a B.A. in American Studies, he headed west to San Francisco for the original dotcom boom. Later, he returned to Boston, earned an MFA from Emerson College, and switched gears to work in educational publishing, where he served as the vice president and editorial director for Bedford/St. Martin's, a division of Macmillan Learning, for many years before turning to writing full time. He lives in Roslindale, Massachusetts with his partner Michael and his favorite reviewer, their lab Edith Ann, who likes his first drafts enough to eat them.A Dead Man's Eyes by Lori Duffy Foster (Level Best Books)Best First NovelLori Duffy Foster is a former crime reporter who writes from the hills of Northern Pennsylvania, where she lives with her family. She was born and raised in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State, where part of her heart remains. Never Broken is book two in her Lisa Jamison mystery/suspense series.

Paul Szyarto developed a never broken mindset while growing up on the streets of New Jersey surrounded by violence. Furthermore, had no guidance and lived in a home filled with dysfunction from an abusive alcoholic, drug using father. And, his father attempted to kill his mother when Paul was 13 years old. Most people don't survive these situations.  Consequently, core values supported Paul to rise from the violence, abuse, and poverty in his life to become the influencer he is today. He's an Oxford University and Wharton Business School educated expert in business operations and technology. In addition,  he's spent the last twenty years maximizing the bottom line of more than 1000 global companies including Microsoft, Goodyear, BP, GE, United Technologies, Kellogg and more from the Fortune 500 list by redefining how they operate in regards to people, processes, and technologies.   In this interview, we discuss Paul's never broken mindset and his life journey. And we learn how Paul went from from nothing to everything. Finally, listen and learn what's next for Paul. Hint - he's enrolled in higher education again!

Jewel was broke and homeless, but she still turned down a million dollar check when she was 19 years old. Jewel was broke and millions in debt after selling 30,000,000 albums, and built back from scratch when she was 30. Jewel has switched genres, written music from folk to pop to country to even children's music. She wrote a children's book. I love Jewel. Abused from the ages of 5 to 15. Moved out of the cold barn she was living in at 15 to live on her own. And three years later she was homeless. "I didn't want to be a statistic," she told me she was afraid when she was 15. "I looked around at other girls who were in my circumstances and things went from bad to worse" And yet... she ended up a statistic. She realized this when she was 18, living out of a car, and attempting to stuff a dress down her pants in a store so she could steal it. When I was 18 I feel I was privileged. I had no real worries. I was "suburban lucky". Luck ruined me and made me complacent. I never would have made the good decisions Jewel ended up making. That's why I love her. That's why I'm glad she came on my podcast. I'm sure she's done 100s of interviews to promote her new book, "Never Broken", an excellent book. But I wanted to break her down. I wanted her to laugh. She was so smart and serious. Trust me: I got her to laugh. A) HARD WOOD GROWS SLOWLY Why did a homeless girl who sang for pennies in a cafe turn down a million dollar offer? "Hard wood grows slowly," she said. "I saw that as a kid. The soft trees would break. The hard trees would grow and live forever." She said: I knew I wanted to grow for a long time in this business. I also knew we were still in the grunge era and I was not grunge. If I took a million dollar deal, I read that I would have to pay it back. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to and I would be dropped by the label and that would be the end of my career. In fact, my album didn't do well the first year. But then went on to sell over 10,000,000 copies. They didn't drop me because I was just that girl they paid twelve dollars for. You have to think long-term instead of short-term always. -- She was 19. I do NOT think I would have made that decision. I think I would have made the wrong decisions. How does one take such a long term view at such a young age. I think it was the ten years she had spent developing her skills, singing in bars all over Alaska, preparing for this moment. Confidence is really difficult to develop. I don't know if I have it even now. But I'm going to remember this lesson on the next business decision I have to make. B) REINVENTION IS NON-STOP Jewel has written children's books, gone from folk music to pop to children's to country. She's been a rancher. She's been homeless. I asked her, "You had the benefit of really cultivating your talent from ages 5 to 15. You sang with your dad at gigs every week. "Do you think someone starting from scratch at 50 can do this?" "Absolutely," she said, "Reinvention never ends. It's every day. Pursue what you enjoy and move towards it and there will be opportunities." I look at my own life today. I'm about to finish a children's book. I'm looking into TV. I'm working on a novel. I have other business things. I don't know if any of them will work. But I know if I don't keep trying I will slip back into whatever hole I constantly have to dig myself out of. There are two days to start something new. When you are five years old. And today. C) CREATE ART FOR YOURSELF I said these words: "So when you were talking to Neil Young..." What funny words to say to someone, I thought at the time and told her. Neil Young told her: don't ever write for radio! Meaning: don't write for the masses, write for yourself. I asked her, "isn't there a tension there? Like what if you write for yourself and then nobody likes it? Don't you want to write something that people like?" She said, "We all have...
