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.

Send us a textLet's be real: telling a terrified mom that her horrific intrusive thoughts are "normal" is only half the story, and it's not good enough.This episode is your new essential guide. We're cutting past the surface talk about "scary thoughts" and diving deep into the neuroscience of what's actually going on. Your client's brain is doing a brilliant, protective job being hypervigilant, but then sleep deprivation, nutritional depletion, and chronic stress turn that protection into a panic spiral. We explain exactly how to spot the difference between a normal thought and pathological Postpartum OCD and, most importantly, how to offer root-cause solutions that stop the nervous system from fueling those terrifying images. If you want to move beyond just screening and genuinely help your clients heal, you need to hear this.Check out the episode on the blog HEREKey time stamps: 1:03  Naming the Unspeakable: What Do Postpartum Intrusive Thoughts Really Look Like?2:34  Why Telling a Mom "It's Normal" Simply Isn't Enough (and Why It's Harmful).5:57 Maternal Brain Plasticity 101: How Evolution Made the Postpartum Brain Brilliant.8:18  Hypervigilance, Sympathetic Dominance, and The Postpartum Energy Debt.10:58  The Spiral: When a Protective Thought Leads to Pathological Anxiety.14:25 Root Causes Driving Postpartum Nervous System Dysregulation.17:54 Case Study: Resolving Severe Nighttime Intrusive Thoughts with Nutrition (Ferritin & Labs).20:22 Case Study: Feeding Anxiety, Blood Sugar Crashes, and Adrenal Support.22:09 The Critical Distinction: Intrusive Thoughts vs. Postpartum OCD (P-OCD).25:12 The Whole-Person Assessment Framework for Intrusive Thoughts.27:08  Layered Interventions That Work: Regulation, Foundations, Trauma, and Support.29:27 Common Provider Mistakes: Minimizing, Catastrophizing, and Isolating Symptoms.32:17  Intrusive (Ego-Dystonic) Vs.

As a child, riding, tinkering/repairing bicycles were just a few hobbies Mike enjoyed. But the woodworking project is beneficial for so many reasons. Yes it's fun but it truly helps children and adults with distracted minds become more grounded and able to focus.  Children collaborate and help one another, improve their math skills, use their hands, learn to measure and cut wood and so much more. But it was Mike's mother, Linda, who really concentrated on helping Mike with his OCD/ADHD.  He says, "she was very instrumental in trying to keep me active. It was very hard for her to see this disruptive behavior in her own child." Mike agrees that he was dealing with Impulse control negative attention issues.Education was very important to Linda. She completed her PHD when Mike was a teen.  She was determined to help Mike figure out what interested him, what his strengths and attributes were and decided to concentrate on those gifts. Linda's grandfather had been a Rabbi in Ukraine. Her father died when she was in high school and mother had dyslexia and had never learned to read or write, so all of her past, played a major role in her passion for a solid education. She was determined to help her son overcome his educational challenges.Linda got married at 19. In order to become a lab technician, she got her Batchelor's degree in Science and Medical Technology. "To show how important education was to her, she went back to school got her Masters Degree and then  in her 40's got a PHD in "Immigration History." Mike explains, "growing  up Jewish in Minnesota, was very rare. It was very interesting to see these immigration patterns that she lived through and seeing similar patterns repeating again today. Later on LInda started a historical society to study Jewish Immigration in the Upper Midwest.Knowing her son's interests helped Linda come up with the idea for Mike to help her when she was cataloging information from those of her Jewish community who had passed away. Family members had donated diaries and personal information. These tasks were very detail oriented and she knew that was one of her son's many strengths. He created a useful database.Contact Information for Maplewoodshop:Email address:mike@maplewoodshop.comFacebook -@MaplewoodshopNJhttps://www.facebook.com/MaplewoodshopNJ/LinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/company/maplewoodshop/Instagram -@maplewoodshophttps://www.instagram.com/maplewoodshop/?hl=enTwitter-@MaplewoodshopNJhttps://twitter.com/MaplewoodshopNJThreads -@maplewoodshophttps://www.threads.net/@maplewoodshopYoutube -@maplewoodshop727https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpPIu2juABNjm_2ZoMjrx4wTiktok -@maplewoodshophttps://www.tiktok.com/@maplewoodshophttps://www.maplewoodshop.com/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Send Me a Message! This episode looks at what happens when perfectionism gets in the way of creating anything at all. Over the past month, I've been stuck in the repetitive obsessive-cycle of record, doubt, delete, repeat. Each recording felt...off. And my inner critic made sure I knew about it.I talk through what it feels like, the hesitation before pressing record, the pressure to get it exactly right, and how easily the delete button stalled any progress I was making. Thankfully I am able to share the small shifts that enabled me to get this one across the line. Recording in a different space, lowering my expectations, and letting the stumbles stay in. After all, this is the most honest, real, vulnerable, raw, genuine and fair dinkum podcast on the internet. It doesn't need to be polished and "perfect"! Support the showYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters, and the show on Facebook!

When Personal Development Becomes Self-Punishment | Breaking the Growth LoopIn the pursuit of growth, success, and self-improvement, many people end up stuck in a different kind of loop — one fueled by guilt, shame, and “never enough.”In this episode of The Restored Minds Show, licensed therapist Matt Codde, LCSW explores how the modern obsession with optimization can quietly turn into self-punishment. You'll learn why constant striving can activate stress, worsen anxiety, and disconnect you from peace — and how true growth actually begins with self-acceptance, not self-criticism.If you've been chasing goals, routines, or “fix-yourself” habits that leave you feeling exhausted or unworthy, this conversation will help you pause, re-center, and reconnect with a healthier path forward.

Sometimes OCD makes you afraid of your own thoughts. You don't want to hurt yourself — but your mind won't stop asking, what if I did? That fear can feel overwhelming and isolating, but it's actually a form of OCD called suicidal OCD. In this video, Tracie Ibrahim and Dr. Patrick McGrath talk about what that really means, how it's different from suicidal intent, and what treatment looks like for people living with these scary, intrusive thoughts. All thoughts of suicide or self-harm should be taken seriously. If you or someone you know has reported thoughts of self-harm, please call 911 or contact your local emergency room number immediately. In the United States, you may also call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text the Crisis Text Line. This line is available to you all day, every day.NOCD specializes in Exposure and Response Prevention therapy. Want to explore your treatment options?

Why Trying to “Fix” Anxiety Keeps You Stuck | Understanding the Anxiety LoopMost people believe the key to healing from anxiety, panic, or intrusive thoughts is to get rid of them.But what if the harder you try to stop anxiety, the more anxious you actually become?In this episode of The Restored Minds Show, Matt Codde, LCSW explains the paradox of anxiety recovery — why resistance and control keep you trapped in the anxiety loop, and how true healing begins when you stop fighting your inner experience.If you've been coping, managing, or constantly searching for ways to feel “less anxious,” this episode will help you understand why those strategies backfire — and what to do instead.

When anxiety and its relentless inner critic take hold, one of the most profound losses is the belief and trust in your own capability. In this episode, Drew and Josh explore how to rebuild self-trust after anxiety disorders erode your confidence in handling life's challenges.The conversation centers on stories from listeners who confronted their worst-case scenarios—from emergency medical situations while struggling with agoraphobia and panic disorder, to managing health anxiety during actual illness, to facing feared social situations despite OCD. Each story illustrates a crucial truth: the anticipation is almost always worse than the actual experience, and we're far more capable than anxiety tells us we are.The guys discuss why simply deciding to believe in yourself doesn't work, and what actually does: the unglamorous, minute-by-minute work of doing the scary things anyway. They examine how anxiety functions like a conspiracy theory about yourself, predicting catastrophic outcomes that rarely materialize. The hosts also explore how well-meaning but misguided advice to avoid difficult situations or regulate away uncomfortable feelings can actually undermine self-belief rather than restore it.This episode emphasizes that rebuilding confidence isn't about making anxiety disappear—it's about discovering through lived experience that you can handle difficult emotions, uncomfortable sensations, and challenging situations. The path back to self-belief requires compassion, patience, and a willingness to challenge the loud but ultimately unreliable predictions of fear and doubt.Grounded in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based approaches, this conversation offers a realistic, evidence-based perspective on recovery that honors both the difficulty of the journey and the resilience we all possess.---Want a way to ask questions about this episode or interact with other Disordered listeners?  The Disordered app is nearing release! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our home page and get on our mailing list for more information..---Struggling with worry and rumination that you feel you can't stop or control? Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Worry and Rumination Explained⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a two hour pre-recorded workshop produced by Josh and Drew.

Send us a textWife Swap-The OCD Wife Meets the Vegan QueenPodcast Summary – Wife Swap S1 E2: Too Cool for GabagoolThis week, the wives are trading pasta for plants as Real Housewives of New Jersey's Melissa Gorga swaps lives with Michelle Clark, a vegan mom and double Dutch champion from Georgia.We start in Franklin Lakes, NJ, where Melissa and Joe Gorga have been married for 20 years. Their life is picture-perfect—sparkly olive oil bottles, spotless counters, and a dog that wears a diaper. Melissa keeps things clean, organized, and tightly scheduled. Meanwhile, Joe's old-school work ethic keeps him gone from sunrise to dinner, leaving Melissa mostly alone at home.Down in Eastpoint, Georgia, Michelle and her husband Sean run a family business teaching Double Dutch aerobics. Their three kids, Sean Jr., Phoenix, and Maverick, live in a house full of chaos, laughter, and juice cleanses. They're all about joy, flexibility, and no rules—except for their strict vegan lifestyle.When the swap begins, both women are instantly out of their comfort zones.Michelle is dropped into a world of designer glam, cheese overload, and pristine decor. She can't get over Melissa's glittery olive oil and says, “You do not need to put glitter on your olive oil.”Melissa walks into a joyful mess—basketballs, snacks, and a sink full of dishes. Her biggest challenge: going vegan and finishing the Clark family's 10-day juice cleanse.As the women try to live by each other's rules, things get hilarious and heartfelt:Melissa cooks vegan pasta, but secretly dreams of a steak.Michelle teaches Joe and the Gorga boys how to double Dutch (and Joe's surprisingly good at it).Melissa bonds deeply with the Clark kids, realizing how much she misses her own children being little.Michelle learns to appreciate some structure—and that it's okay to let her husband have alone time.When rule changes kick in, Melissa buys the Clarks a foldable dining table, teaching them the value of family dinners and bedtime routines. Michelle enforces “together time” in Jersey, dragging Joe to his construction job in full glam—and right into a mud puddle.By the end, both families transform:The Clarks learn that a bit of order brings calm to their chaos.The Gorgas learn that joy and connection matter more than spotless floors. A month later, Melissa's house is still spotless—but she's prioritizing family time. The Clarks now eat dinner at the table (though they still leave the dishes till morning).Both women admit they've grown: Melissa's learning to “chill,” and Michelle's learning to clean—with purpose.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Today we're exploring the skill that ambitious, anxious brains often resist: self-compassion. You'll hear attorney Mark Goldstein's candid story of OCD, depression, panic attacks, and the leave of absence that helped him rebuild a career and a life with support, therapy, mindfulness, and (yes) compassion. Then, Dr. Kristin Neff, pioneer of self-compassion research, teaches practical tools you can use today. We cover how to handle rumination, reframe “perfection” into being a “compassionate mess,” and when to turn on fierce self-protection versus tender care. If you hold yourself to impossible standards, this conversation will give you language, strategies, and permission to be human and still perform. In this Episode, You Will Learn 00:00 Why self-compassion is a performance skill for anxious achievers. 02:00 Learn from Mark Goldstein on perfectionism, OCD, and the billable-hour trap. 05:45 “I couldn't stop checking”: the 2017 spiral and panic attacks. 09:30 When did you decide you needed help and where did you start? 13:00 Taking a leave of absence, the fear of perception, and the reality of support. 18:45 Reframing “weakness” and treating mental health as a disability. 21:00 Dr. Kristin Neff on why our brains default to self-criticism. 23:30 The hack to turn caregiving inward. 25:15 Tips for practical self-talk (authentic compassion, NOT empty affirmations.) 27:30 When to deploy fierce vs. tender compassion and harnessing anger for protection. 30:00 How to stop rumination. 32:15 How to create room for compassion and grow without fear.
