Stigma loses its power when leaders tell the truth. In this episode, venture investor and Techstars co-founder Brad Feld shares why he went public about depression and OCD, how a 2013 crash led to a decade of deep therapy, and why aligning what you feel, say, and do is a leadership advantage. We talk about the “inappropriate anxiety spikes,” the trap of calling mental health a “superpower,” and the difference between passive and active avoidance. Brad also breaks down a simple dashboard for monitoring burnout, practical somatic cues to watch for, and clear guidance on when to hire a coach versus a therapist.

No Room for In-Between: Literal Thinking and Communication Ruptures In this raw and honest episode, Patricia (she/her) shares her ongoing challenges with neurodivergent miscommunication, community rupture, and the emotional toll of being misunderstood. From neighborhood conflicts to horse training lessons, from cancel culture to navigating friendships and travel as an autistic person, Patricia opens up about the messy, contradictory realities of life, belonging, and growth. Listeners will walk away feeling less alone in their struggles with relationships, self-advocacy, and embracing both discomfort and joy. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · Why Patricia didn't want to record this episode—and why she did anyway · The ongoing story of neighborhood rupture and the painful dynamics of miscommunication · How neurodivergent communication differences play into misunderstanding and conflict · The discomfort of being misunderstood as an autistic person who values precision and exactness · The struggle of wanting repair but receiving ongoing hurtful communication instead · Recognizing when "these are not our people" and finding peace in letting go · Cancel culture: when it's useful, when it's harmful, and Patricia's lived perspective · How language change matters—and conversations with her husband about accountability in speech · The empowerment that comes from horse training and facing fear with big draft horses · Lessons from working with animals: calm presence, assertiveness, and learning new leadership skills · Navigating differences in friendships around money, dining, and travel · The autistic push-pull between craving sameness and being invited into novelty · Strategies for managing overwhelm when faced with too many choices or new experiences · How safe friendships allow for authenticity and unmasking · The sadness and privilege of having barriers to change, novelty, and travel—and finding supportive companions · Building resilience through small trial runs and intentional fun · The importance of bumping up against resistance to live a fuller, lighter life · Patricia's reflections on aging, matching tattoos with her kids, and wanting to add more joy SOUND BITES · There are times when we need to speak up, and there are times when we need to let people misunderstand us and sit with the discomfort." · "If you're autistic, precision and exactness are high values—being misunderstood can feel unbearable." · "This isn't personal. This is about neurodivergent miscommunication. And that gave me relief—at least for a little while." · "I'm more than two-thirds through my life, and I want to whip it up a little bit. If you're going to do some fun stuff, you better do it soon." · "Sensitivity is nothing to apologize for. You are perfect exactly as you are in a world not made for us." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.

This episode unpacks how OCD shows up from conception through postpartum—and shares compassionate, evidence-based tools (especially ERP) to help you move from fear to values-based parenting.

In this deeply informative episode, I'm joined by licensed marriage and family therapist Melissa Mose, LMFT, who brings 30 years of clinical experience to the table and a unique approach to treating OCD by integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) with traditional methods like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Melissa shares how a personal experience—her daughter's sudden-onset OCD—propelled her into the world of OCD treatment and changed the direction of her career. We talk through how OCD manifests, why traditional ERP can be both life-changing and difficult for people, and how IFS can offer a more compassionate, effective way to approach healing by helping clients access their internal "Self." We also discuss Melissa's new book for clinicians, her training work, and the upcoming OCD SoCal Conference happening online on November 15–16, 2025.

Every family has one — the rebel, the truth-teller, the one who refuses to play by the family's unspoken rules. This episode dives into what it really means to be the “black sheep.” Brianne opens up about her own experience as the misunderstood one, exploring how being labeled the problem child often means you're actually the mirror—reflecting back the family's hidden dysfunction.If you've ever been told you're “too sensitive,” “too emotional,” or “too much,” this one's for you. Brianne reframes the black sheep not as the outcast, but as the light-bearer—the one brave enough to disrupt generational toxicity and start the healing. With raw honesty and a touch of humor, she shares how healing herself helped mend her family and why that rebellious streak might just be your superpower.This episode is a love letter to every black sheep who refused to shrink.

Send us a textKristina Cook is a returning guest on our show! Be sure to check out her first appearance on episode 837 of Boundless Body Radio!Kristina Cook is a wife and mom of two from Nova Scotia, Canada, whose amazing 11-year-old daughter struggled with ADHD, OCD, & treatment resistant bipolar disorder for six years.Eventually, Kristina started looking outside the conventional medical and mental health systems for answers. This quest led her to MAHA Moms, RFK Jr., Dr. Casey Means, Dr. Chris Palmer, and ultimately conversations about health, food, and politics- topics she never expected to find herself concerned about until now.In understanding the reasons why we are all so sick, she was able to put her daughter's bipolar disorder into remission and have her off all medications within 6 weeks, which turned her entire family's health and lives around in the process.Kristina lives in Nova Scotia with her husband Ryan, her son Noah, her incredible daughter Genevieve and their 2 dogs, where they are living an entirely new life now that bipolar disorder no longer controls their home. She is raising awareness in her online community for safe, clean, whole foods and metabolic therapies, and helping others learn how to adapt from the Standard Western Diet to a whole food and ketogenic diet.Find Kristina at-TW- @KristinaCo9561IG- @thebetterhumansprojectFB- @The Better Humans ProjectNutrition and Mental Illness: An Orthomolecular Approach to Balancing Body Chemistry by Carl C.

In this insightful episode of Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara Wester talk with psychologist Dr. Tamar Chansky, founder of the Children's and Adult Center for OCD and Anxiety and author of Freeing Your Child from Anxiety. Together they explore what anxiety really is, how it shows up in children, and how parents can respond with empathy and connection instead of fear. Dr. Chansky offers simple, science-based tools to help kids analyze their worries, practice gradual exposure to fears, and build confidence step by step. You'll learn how to create a safe space for conversations about anxiety, regulate your child's nervous system with calming techniques, and see anxiety not as an enemy—but as a messenger that guides growth. If your child worries often or struggles with big feelings, this conversation will equip you with practical ways to bring more calm, courage, and connection to your parenting. Where to find Dr. Tamar Chansky:www.tamarchansky.com@freeingyourmindwww.worrywisekids.orgView the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/helping-your-child-overcome-anxiety-with-dr-tamar-chansky Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.comVideo Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumansPodcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.comBook List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

Most people think OCD is just about cleaning, germs, or being organized — but that's only a small part of it. In reality, OCD can latch onto anything: your faith, your relationships, your memories, even questions about existence itself. These hidden subtypes can make people feel confused, ashamed, or convinced that no one else could possibly understand what's happening in their mind. In this video, Dr. Patrick McGrath breaks down the lesser-known types of OCD and why they all follow the same cycle of fear and doubt.NOCD specializes in Exposure and Response Prevention therapy, the gold standard treatment for OCD.

Katie Scaife & Kevin Bache in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://thelovelybasement.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/TheLovelyBasement/ The Lovely Basement are Katie Scaife, Kevin Bache, Steve Dew and Paul Waterworth. The band are based in Bristol, UK. The idea back in 2018 was to combine the feel of the Velvet Underground with a hint of the twang of early country music. In the words of the band “we failed, but liked the sound of the failure. Slow, driving and dreamy by turns, we anchor our songs in the tried-and-true combo of two guitars, bass, drums and fine harmonies to float our passing thoughts on class, death, the pull of ennui, the push of irritation, existential OCD and taking it easy.” First two albums (Just Because You Can and the eponymously-titled second album) were released on Breaking Down Recordings, a Bristol collective label. Albums that have received very good reviews in magazines and independent radio stations in Europe, America, Australia and New Zealand. Lazy Travellers is another wonderful album by The Lovely Basement. Ten new songs with echoes of The Velvet Underground, The Clientele, Luna or Cowboy Junkies.

Rob confesses his lifelong fear of women's purses (it's an OCD thing, not a trust issue), and Jamie reveals the superstition she can't shake behind the wheel. The duo spiral into an all-time viral classic — the “I'm Not Afraid” airport guy — and lose it imagining him as the next YMH cult hero. Things take a turn as they debate the greatest TV performances ever, from Gandolfini and Edie Falco to Elisabeth Moss and Bryan Cranston. Jamie drops major news about finishing her new book, while Rob unveils his proudest “old guy” purchase — a three-foot shoehorn he now brings through airport security. Plus: the gang plans a new segment with Tanner, brainstorms a “Post-Bathroom Interview” series, shouts out the Sandwich Guy, and reminisces about early Sopranos days.

Tony Shalhoub is an actor whose roles skew towards the quirky and neurotic — and his characters' quirks often come out through food. In the classic 1996 film Big Night, Tony plays an uncompromising Italian chef whose Jersey Shore restaurant is on the brink of failure. In the TV show Monk, he plays a detective with OCD who has many strong opinions about how he wants his food. In The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, he's a math professor who, at one point, devises a complex system for not getting too drunk. We cover these roles, as well as a new one he's recently taken on: hosting a travel show on CNN, Breaking Bread. (Breaking Bread airs on Sundays at 9pm on CNN, or you can stream it the next day with CNN's All Access subscription.)The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Kameel Stanley, Jared O'Connell, Morgan Johnson, and Jazzmin Sutherland.Right now, Sporkful listeners can get three months free of the SiriusXM app by going to siriusxm.com/sporkful.

Whether it's 3AM wakeups, spiraling thoughts, phobias, or that constant undercurrent of unease, anxiety can feel like it's running your life. That's why I recorded this solo episode—to share the real-life tools that help me cope, move forward, and feel like myself again. I'm answering your most asked anxiety questions—about nighttime anxiety, fear of flying, OCD tendencies, and feeling stuck in therapy. I'll share how I reframe my inner critic, what I say when I feel like a burden, and why I believe anxiety doesn't make you broken. This isn't about being “fixed.” It's about supporting your nervous system, getting curious about your patterns, and finding tiny, doable shifts that will make life feel lighter.
