They're thinking about their day. They're thinking about their own problems. They're not thinking about you. If they do have a thought about you, it's pretty transient. It's pretty quick. It's not like they're dwelling on it like the person with social anxiety is.” ~Ken Goodman, LCSW Our guest, Ken Goodman, LCSW, specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders and OCD.  He is on the board of directors for the Anxiety and Depression Association of America and is Founding Director of QuietMindSolutions.com.

His latest book, The Emetophobia Manual, is the first self-help book for those who suffer with the fear of vomit.

In a candid and inspiring conversation, Dr. Dan talks to author and educator Renee Zukin to explore her transformative journey through anxiety, OCD, panic disorder, and agoraphobia—and the powerful mindset shifts that helped her reclaim her life.   Today's episode is about courage, compassion, and connection—a reminder that we are never alone, and that bravery can be found in the smallest, most personal victories.  Dr. Dan and Renee discuss what it means to be “beyond brave” on this deeply inspiring episode. Renee shares the origin of her mantra Every Day I'm Brave and how redefining bravery freed her from the trap of comparison. She opens up about her path toward self-compassion, the lessons learned from both Western therapy and Eastern mindfulness practices, and the role of courage in facing fear without letting it dictate her life. Together, Dr. Dan and Renee explore the duality of fear and love, the significance of curiosity in self-reflection, and how to embrace the aspects of ourselves that carry shame and guilt. This episode is a guide to showing up authentically, asking for help, and believing another path is possible—even when you can't yet see it.

This weeks podcast chat is with hugely inspiring (award winning) Musical Comedian Emer Maguire who discusses how many barriers and challenges she's had to overcome to carve out her career. From being 'Neurospicy' (with diagnosed OCD and Autism) to being gay and feeling 'different' on so many levels her whole life. She sheds some light on what life is like with these 'labels' (for want of a better word) and how she's carved out her successful career in a way that feels authentic to her. I LOVE how real Emer is and in her own words she can't be anything else.

EP:102Kelsey Erickson, Senior Director of Athlete Health, Engagement, and Experience at USA Cycling.From growing up as an anxious teenager who couldn't spend a night away from home, to moving abroad, earning a PhD, and leading athlete welfare in a male-dominated sport — Kelsey's story is one of curiosity, courage, and refusing to be boxed in.In this conversation, we dive into:Why she never had a “five-year plan” and how that opened unexpected doorsWhat sport taught her about resilience, hard work, and redefining successHow she turned OCD and early struggles into empathy and strengthNavigating male-dominated environments and why being “the only woman in the room” can be an assetThe importance of honesty, curiosity, and showing up — even when you don't have it all figured outKelsey's story is proof that leaning into opportunities, embracing failure, and staying curious can lead to an extraordinary and impactful life.Key TakeawaysYou don't need a fixed plan to build a meaningful career — curiosity and saying “yes” can be enough.Success isn't black and white. Redefine it based on your values, effort, and relationships.Vulnerability and empathy aren't weaknesses — they're strengths that create trust and leadership.Women in male-dominated industries don't need to shrink; their perspective is their power.True confidence comes from being comfortable with failing, laughing at yourself, and showing up anyway.Timestamps0:00 – Michelle introduces Kelsey and the meaning of She Who Dares Wins0:29 – Kelsey on forging her own path without a plan3:00 – From anxious teen to athlete: first steps out of her comfort zone6:00 – Moving abroad, studying, and saying “yes” to new opportunities9:00 – The underdog mindset and redefining success13:00 – Current role at USA Cycling and tackling sensitive issues in sport19:20 – Being the only woman in the room: challenges and opportunities25:30 – Curiosity as the driving force in career and life decisions27:00 – What she'd tell her 14-year-old self about trust and showing up31:00 – A defining “failure” that shaped her career in research36:00 – The unseen side of career struggles and hundreds of job rejections39:00 – Why confidence comes from being okay with mistakes and imperfection43:00 – Vulnerability, crying in a van, and why honesty matters at work45:20 – Michelle gifts Kelsey the She Who Dares Wins hoodie Hosted on Acast.

This is a Fan Fav episode. One of the hardest things to accept as an adult is that many of the beliefs you have about yourself and the world you live in were developed from a childhood where you didn't know any better and you weren't equipped with the resources or capacity to process the complexities of life happening all around you. Those experiences helped you shape the story you tell yourself today. Whether the story is good or bad is irrelevant considering that chances are the story isn't even accurate or factual. Marissa Peer is not just a best-selling author, she is a trained hypnotherapist that created Rapid Transformational Therapy, or RTT. She joins Lisa here to discuss the ideas from her latest book, Tell Yourself a Better Lie. Her tips and strategies are powerful to rewrite your story and create a narrative that gives you meaning, fulfillment and more happiness.

Understanding Labels and Diagnoses in Decluttering: Empowering or Limiting?

The hosts discuss how a diagnosis can provide clarity and relief but can also feel limiting or overwhelming. They share their personal experiences, emphasising the importance of individuality and the need for practical strategies that work with unique brain functions and habits. The conversation explores how labels can both empower and hold people back, providing insights and practical tips for working with neurodiversity in the decluttering process.

Ever watch your kid refuse to eat leftovers, take 20 minutes to put on socks, or panic over a crumb on their plate and think, “Okay… is this just a phase, or should I be worried?” If you've ever wondered whether your child's behavior is anxiety, perfectionism, or something deeper—this episode is your must-listen. Dr. Tamar Chansky, author of Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, joins us to break down the signs of OCD in kids—especially the ones most parents miss. She explains how OCD has nothing to do with being neat or liking things “just so.” Instead, it's about intrusive thoughts and mental rituals that can quietly disrupt a child's life. You'll learn what to watch for, how to talk to your child without shame, and the exact strategies that help kids separate themselves from the thoughts that feel so overpowering. If you're parenting a child who seems stuck, overwhelmed, or distressed by things that don't make sense on the surface—this episode could change everything.

Michael Twohig has spent years studying what happens when people try to fight their thoughts — and why that battle almost always makes things worse. As a psychologist, researcher, and leading expert in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), he's worked with countless people who felt trapped by their own minds, stuck in loops of overthinking, doubt, and mental exhaustion. In this conversation, he shares how ACT can completely change that dynamic, turning thoughts from something you fear into something you can live with.Instead of focusing on erasing or “fixing” thoughts, ACT teaches you to see them for what they are and move forward anyway. Michael draws from powerful real-world examples to show how people have gone from feeling powerless against their minds to living fuller, more meaningful lives — without waiting for the perfect thought or feeling to show up first. It's a practical, compassionate way to stop letting your mind run the show.Although not a standalone treatment for OCD, ACT can be helpful in conjunction with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy.Here at NOCD, we specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention therapy, the most effective therapy for OCD.

What does it feel like when your mind gets stuck on a loop, telling you again and again that you're a bad person? That's the reality of Pure OCD. In this episode of The OCD Whisperer Podcast, Kristina Orlova sits down with Sah D'Simone, spiritual teacher, humanitarian, and creator of the Somatic Activated Healing method, for an open and heartfelt conversation.   Sah shares his journey with intrusive thoughts that made him question his worth, how growing up in a Buddhist culture shaped his experience, and how the loss of his mother made everything even more intense. Instead of letting OCD take over, he's leaned into Buddhist wisdom, somatic healing, and service to others as powerful ways to heal.   Together, Kristina and Sah unpack how OCD fuels cycles of self-obsession and why real healing often begins with learning to slow down, relax, and be present. They talk about the role of evidence-based treatments like ERP and ACT, while also highlighting holistic practices that calm the nervous system and nurture recovery.   If you've ever felt trapped by your own thoughts, this conversation offers hope, practical tools, and a fresh perspective on what healing can truly look like.   The 3 things you'll learn in  today's episode: Why relaxation and not constant productivity is crucial for calming an OCD brain. How Pure OCD manifests and why labels can be both freeing and limiting. Practical ways to balance evidence-based OCD treatments with Buddhist-inspired mindfulness and self-compassion.
