As we've discussed on The Makin Wellness Podcast on past episodes, social media plays a big role in our lives on a daily basis. As a society, we have become very reliant on these platforms for news, information, and connection to friends, family, and colleagues. In many ways, social media has helped change the world for the better. But, also in many ways, social media has played a negative role, most glaringly in the areas of depression, insomnia, and suicide.It is up to each individual user to consume content on these networks responsibly and learn to filter out the negativity that can lead to breakdowns in overall mental health and wellness. Fortunately, there are entrepreneurs making strides to bring these behaviors to light and offer more positive platforms to inhabit.Today, I'm joined by one of those entrepreneurs. Michael Marra is the Founder of Entre, a new social media platform that emphasizes connection, networking, and impacting users in a way that stimulates their mental health for the better.

In Episode 17 of The Makin Wellness Podcast, I am joined by award-winning author Mark Wolynn for an in-depth conversation on inherited family trauma. Mark share stories of his past battles with these traumas and breaks down insights found in his book, It Didn't Start With You, covering the same subject.What is Inherited Family Trauma? This definition is direct from Mark's website:When a trauma happens, it changes us—sometimes for generations. The grief, the suffering, the distress doesn't always end with us. The feelings and sensations—specifically the stress response, the way our genes express—can pass forward to our children and grandchildren, affecting them in a similar way, even though they didn't personally experience our trauma. Simply put, many of us relive the tragedies from previous generations and rarely make the link.If you want to know more on this subject, Mark is the resource you need to follow.

For years, the therapy setting has had this intimidating, almost uncomfortable image. Bookshelves piled to the rafters with a library's worth of daunting information and diagnoses. Diplomas and certifications adorning the walls. Therapists decked out in tweed jackets with elbow patches. Patients laying on couches...in some cases, not even looking in the eyes of the person giving them direction and advice.Thankfully, we've grown well beyond this stigma and advancements in mental health and therapy have allowed us take the focus off the false characterizations this profession once had and, instead, put that focus on you, the patient. This allows us to provide better treatment and forge more positive, meaningful relationships with every person we touch.Makin Wellness has been at the forefront of pioneering online therapy since our inception. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the world to find new ways to receive the care they needed, we were meeting with individuals determined to improve their mental health in a warm, welcoming online environment. It is the foundation on which our practices are built and our team of online therapists take great pride in continuing to propel online therapy forward.Today, I am joined by one of our great Makin Wellness therapists, Jonathan Tomlin. Jonathan found his calling for therapy at an early age and never looked back. He is a proponent of positive psychology, believes strongly in the healing powers of proper breathing exercises, and is a champion for online therapy and how this setting offers a less threatening approach for you to address your mental health and become better again.Jonathan and I discuss:The positive results of online therapy, including improved progressive results and accountability How our online settings build positive therapeutic relationshipsWhy online therapy eliminates barriers preventing positive mental health and wellnessThe issues and ailments online therapy helps with the mostWays you can reduce stress levelsEffective healthy breathing exercisesDiscover More Mental Health & Wellness Resources!Visit makinwellness.com todayFind Makin Wellness On The Following Platforms:Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTubeMUSIC CREDIT: Theme music for The Makin Wellness Podcast - "Positive Motivation" courtesy of purple-planet.com

Sara Makin has always been an entrepreneur at heart. As a kid, she didn't just run a lemonade stand. She did door-to-door lemonade delivery as a way to boost her sales! Sara was probably on track to go to business school and create the next big startup when she found herself in a battle with depression. Her life-changing experience with therapy and dealing with her own mental illness made her realize that she wanted others to achieve the same breakthroughs. After completing a Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling from Duquesne University and obtaining the requisite work experience, Sara became a licensed professional counselor.In 2017, Sara combined her love for business with her mission to provide exceptional mental health care by launching Makin Wellness. Realizing that she could reach and impact more people, she decided to take her therapy platform completely online just as the pandemic was starting in early 2020. Today, Sara operates her practice in a thriving environment as more and more people are becoming comfortable to talk about mental illness and to seek professional help.

Insomnia is a very common ailment that impacts millions of people worldwide (more than 3 million cases reported in the United States each year).Insomnia is defined as a condition that leads to persistent problems falling and staying asleep. Most cases of insomnia are related to poor sleep habits, depression, anxiety, lack of exercise, chronic illness, or certain medications. Symptoms may include difficulty falling or staying asleep and not feeling well-rested.Treatment for insomnia consists of improving sleep habits, behavior therapy, and identifying and treating underlying causes. Sleeping pills may also be used, but should be monitored for side effects.In Episode 10 of The Makin Wellness Podcast, I am pleased to welcome Jason Cercone, our Executive Producer for the podcast, onto the show to share his recent experiences with insomnia.

Fortunately, he was able to change some habits that allowed him to return to a more reasonable sleep schedule.

Welcome to the world premiere installment of The Makin Wellness Podcast! In my inaugural episode, I am joined by former Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Freddie Mitchell. This was a great way to kick off the podcast as you get to hear Freddie's perspective on life after football, how he's dealt with change throughout his life, and how he focuses on his mental health and positivity each and every day.Freddie played professional football in the NFL for five seasons with the Eagles and another year with the Chiefs and, undoubtedly, those years physically and mentally took their toll. But what most people don't realize, as Freddie shares with us, is he's been playing football since the age of 5. That's over two decades of physical abuse, dealing with losses and shortcomings alongside triumphs and accomplishments, and proceeding through life with a certain structure. As it all ends, you'll hear how Freddie coped with the adjustments life thrust upon him.This interview also features tips and strategies for keeping positive thoughts front and center and why focusing on your mental health on a daily basis will blaze a trail towards long-term happiness and clarity in your life.

EPISODE SUMMARY: You've probably heard this Henry Ford saying a million times in your life: "Whether you think you can, or think you can't -- you're right."There's a reason why you've heard that saying a million times. Because it's correct.No matter what situation you're facing, in life and/or in business, if you approach it with a defeated attitude and a mindset that you're never going to succeed, then you won't. Period. This has been proven over and over and over again throughout history.On the flip side, if you approach every situation in your life with the mindset that you'll never fail and you'll find a way to succeed no matter what it takes, you will. This has also been proven time and time again. If you stop and think right now, you'll undoubtedly remember a situation in your life where this factored in. Now...it's time to harness the power of that mindset and put it to use each and every day that's in front of you.In Episode 44 of The Business Equation Podcast, host Nick Bogacz is joined by special guest Sara Makin, Founder of Makin Wellness. Together, Nick and Sara discuss the power of having the proper mindset at all times. In especially tough moments like the COVID-19 pandemic has presented, it is imperative that your thoughts be beaming with positivity and completely void of negative thoughts that will drag you into a deeper hole.Nick and Sara also talk about the power of the subconscious mind, how we are all pre-programmed to achieve at a certain level and what we must do to overcome that, and much, much more.You can learn more about Sara and Makin Wellness at makinwellness.com.Questions for Nick?
