This week's episode is a hot mess buffet. Trump's turning the White House into a luxury event space, the government's playing games with people's groceries, and the Louvre apparently lost more than art—it lost security. The NBA's looking more like Vegas after a few players got caught up in a gambling mess, Cardi B's dragging Armon Wiggins, and there's another blackout protest coming (are y'all actually participating this time?). Meanwhile, Nicki's got sheriffs at her mansion, and Keyshia Ka'oir is offering mental health consultations without a medical degree… maybe we all need one after this week.

How Conscious Awareness Shapes Leadership, Therapy, and Collective Healing: An Interview with Pardis Mahdavi, PhD Curt and Katie chat with Pardis Mahdavi, PhD, about how consciousness and intentional awareness can transform therapy, leadership, and community. Pardis shares how cultivating our “inner state," moving from suffering to a “beautiful state,” impacts how we lead, connect, and heal collectively. She offers practical ways therapists can integrate mindfulness, breath mastery, and curiosity into their work to help clients (and themselves) live with greater awareness and alignment. About Our Guest:Pardis Mahdavi, PhD is an author, educator, and entrepreneur. She has written seven non-fiction books and two edited volumes, including Book of Queens (2023) and Riding (2024). A former university president and global human rights expert, Pardis now leads Entheon Journeys, focusing on consciousness, leadership, and transformation. Her work has been featured in Time, Ms. Magazine, Huffington Post, and the Los Angeles Times. Key Takeaways: Consciousness work deepens mindfulness into an ongoing framework for intentional living and healing. Therapists can help clients identify and shift their inner “state” from suffering toward beauty, calm, and connection. Preventive practices such as meditation, journaling, and breath mastery support long-term wellbeing and resilience. Leadership and therapy are energetic processes: awareness of one's own state affects how others experience us. Community healing grows when curiosity replaces critique and connection transcends identity barriers.

“The work we do is meaningful, sometimes difficult, but it's the best work to do.” - Dr. David Puder On this episode of Transforming Trauma, Emily Ruth welcomes psychiatrist and psychotherapist Dr. David Puder to explore the clinical realities of complex trauma and the slow, often gritty path toward healing. Drawing on decades of hospital and outpatient experience, Dr. Puder offers candor and practical wisdom for clinicians and caring professionals who feel the weight of this work. The pair discuss how complex developmental trauma shows up as dissociation and psychogenic symptoms rather than classic shock-based PTSD, how medical identities can eclipse a person's strengths, and ways to help families shift out of illness-based roles. You'll hear how dreams and creative writing can reveal disavowed material, why rare countertransference reactions are clinical clues, and how therapist reflective function — the ability to make meaning of inner reactions — predicts treatment impact. Dr. Puder also explains practical tools he developed, including a Connection Index for clinical teams, and offers concrete examples of converting medical patients into psychotherapy patients so they can reclaim agency and a life beyond diagnosis. We invite you to listen to the full episode and follow Transforming Trauma on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or your favorite podcast app. *** SPACE: SPACE is an Inner Development Program of Support and Self-Discovery for Therapists on the Personal, Interpersonal, and Transpersonal Levels offered by the Complex Trauma Training Center.

In Episode 331 of Through a Therapist's Eyes, we tackle one of the hardest truths in recovery and wellness: how much control do we really have over our mental health and substance use? Building on Episodes 327 (The Value of Vulnerability), 328 (The Information Age Issues), and 330 (Willpower), this conversation digs into the neuroscience of control - how brain chemistry, stress, and trauma reshape our ability to self-regulate - and why sheer willpower often falls short. Guided by the wisdom of the Serenity Prayer, we explore practical, science-backed ways to strengthen control through structure, skill-building, and support. From habit design and mindfulness to medication-assisted treatment and integrated care, this episode reframes “control” not as a solo effort, but as a shared, sustainable path toward healing and balance. Tune in to see Control Through a Therapist's Eyes.

The Crisis in College Mental Health: An Interview with Dr. Pardis Mahdavi, PhD Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk with Dr. Pardis Mahdavi about the growing mental-health crisis among college students. Pardis shares insights from her years in higher education leadership—revealing how rising costs, outdated systems, and lack of purpose are driving student anxiety and burnout. Together they explore what therapists, universities, and communities can do to realign education with meaning, wellbeing, and real-world readiness. About Our Guest: Dr. Pardis Mahdavi, Ph.D. Pardis Mahdavi is an author, educator, and entrepreneur whose work spans human rights, education policy, and consciousness. A former university president and provost, she is the author of seven nonfiction books including The Book of Queens (Hachette Books, 2023) and Riding (Duke University Press, 2024). She currently leads Entheon Journeys and The Bondery House, fostering connection and expanded awareness. Key Takeaways for Therapists College students face unprecedented levels of anxiety and depression—driven by systemic disconnection, financial stress, and unclear purpose. Higher education often fails to evolve with societal change, leaving students feeling unprepared and unseen. Preventive supports like mindfulness and mentorship should be built into the college experience. Therapists can help students find meaning, manage uncertainty, and advocate for collaborative care across campus systems.

Shownotes Terry's “grid” that reveals how your trauma shows up in relationships The difference between individual empowerment and relational empowerment Which quadrant of the grid Layla is on and how she got there Why Terry calls our relationships our “biosphere” Terry's best advice for shifting out of anger and into connection A powerful guided boundary practice to follow along with   Bio   Terry Real is an internationally recognized family therapist, speaker and best-selling author committed to helping you build the lasting, loving relationships you deserve.   The author of four books, including the recent New York Times bestseller Us: Getting Past You and Me to Build a More Loving Relationship, Terry knows how to lead people on a step-by-step journey to greater intimacy and personal fulfillment.   His revolutionary approach to couples therapy, Relational Life Therapy (RLT), underpins all of his books, courses and teachings.

Self-awareness can help you understand yourself as well as get a clearer picture of how others see you. It can also close the gap between who you think you are and how you actually show up. Today, I'm sharing science-backed strategies to build real self-awareness—so you can make better decisions, align your behavior with your values, and become the person you mean to be. Some of the things I share are: Why self-serving bias and limited data create blind spots How to build a “personal board of reality” and ask for actionable feedback A simple script to solicit input without getting defensive Why turning your values into verbs makes them measurable and real The 3-column pattern journal to spot triggers and upgrade your responses The difference between healthy reflection and unhelpful rumination Mentally Strong App ⁠Get Mental Strength for Free⁠ - Episode 254 Exercise Go Hands-Free with Voice Option — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Episode 254 Exercise⁠ (subscribers only) ⁠Subscribe to the app to unlock all the features — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MentallyStrong.Downpat.Ai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with the Show Buy a copy of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Amy on Instagram — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@AmyMorinAuthor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Visit my website — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AmyMorinLCSW.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sponsors OneSkin — Get 15% off OneSkin with the code STRONGER at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.oneskin.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Quince — Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quince.com/stronger⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns!

How Business Owners Can Scale and Thrive in the Age of AI: Insights from Dan GoodsteinIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sits down with Dan Goodstein, Founder of The Business Therapist and President of IRPA AI, to explore how business owners can scale smarter and thrive amid rapid technological change. With years of experience in tech, marketing, media, and coaching, Dan offers practical advice on leveraging AI, building community, and creating systems that support sustainable growth in today's fast-paced environment.Scaling Smarter in the AI EraDan emphasizes that too many business owners are working in their businesses rather than on them. He highlights the importance of stepping back, joining peer communities, and embracing outside accountability through coaching or masterminds. These practices create space for strategy, innovation, and balance—especially critical as AI reshapes how we work.AI, he explains, is now leveling the playing field for small and midsize businesses, giving them access to tools once reserved for large corporations. From AI-driven sales assistants to automated lead generation and CRM integrations, these technologies help streamline operations, enhance personalization, and improve ROI. Dan also encourages owners to adopt a “pilot-first” approach—testing tools on a small scale before company-wide implementation to ensure measurable results.Finally, Dan shares actionable strategies for using AI in sales, from automating outreach to personalizing follow-ups, while maintaining the human connection that drives lasting relationships. His advice is clear: start small, stay consistent, and focus on impact over volume. AI isn't about replacing people—it's about empowering them to spend more time on high-value, strategic work.About Dan GoodsteinDan Goodstein is the Founder of The Business Therapist, a platform helping entrepreneurs build scalable, resilient companies through coaching, peer networks, and strategic support. He also serves as President of IRPA AI, a global association focused on intelligent automation and digital transformation. Dan is the host of The Digital Leader Show and a frequent speaker on AI, business growth, and leadership innovation.About The Business TherapistThe Business Therapist provides business owners with the community, coaching, and resources they need to scale sustainably. Through mastermind groups, advisory programs, and peer-to-peer learning, the organization helps leaders step back from daily operations to focus on vision, systems, and growth strategy.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeThe Business Therapist WebsiteIRPA AI WebsiteDan Goodstein LinkedIn ProfileKey Episode HighlightsWhy every business owner needs community and strategy days.How AI tools are helping small businesses compete with large enterprises.Actionable ways to use AI in sales and marketing.Tips for choosing and integrating AI technologies effectively.The importance of focusing on sustainability, not just speed, in scaling.ConclusionDan Goodstein's message is simple but powerful: you can't scale by doing more—you scale by doing smarter. By stepping back, building support systems, and embracing AI-driven tools, business owners can transform the way they grow and operate. The future belongs to leaders...

Grab your your old cassette tapes, and your deepest sense of injustice, because today we're getting a broader understanding of the 1993 West Memphis Murders and the three little boys who never made it home.On May 5th, 1993, three second graders- Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers left their homes in West Memphis, Arkansas for an ordinary bike ride. They were eight years old. They never came back.What happened that night would become one of the most infamous child murder cases in American history.In 1994, three teenagers- Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley would be convicted of those murders, in a trial driven by satanic panic, coerced confessions, and a complete collapse of justice.In 1996, HBO aired Paradise Lost and the world saw what had happened in that courtroom. Over the next twenty years, the West Memphis Three would fight for their freedom from behind bars. They'd get it eventually- kind of. But this case? It's not over.There's new evidence. There's new DNA. There's a chance to finally do what Arkansas never did: find out the truth.In part one of this series, we're not starting with suspects. We're starting with Stevie, Michael, and Chris-who they were, what they loved, and what was taken from them.Because before this became a media circus, before it became a cause, it was a tragedy.(originally released in May of 2023, full sources available in show notes)Sources:Jenkins, P (1992).

Grab your death metal albums and don't talk to the cops without a lawyer because today we're gaining a broader understanding of the satanic panic of the 80s and 90s and how it greatly impacted the case of the West Memphis ThreeIn part one of this series we told you about Stevie, Michael, Chris and the murders that would forever change West Memphis Arkansas. We told you things the way that they seemed, now it's time to get into things the way that they actually were.In this episode we try and gain a broader understanding of the "Satanic Panic" and it's origins (from preschools to memoirs to rock music) while examining how this same search for satan narrowed the murder investigation by the West Memphis Police Department in 1993We learn about the way polygraphs were used in the investigation and why they held so much weight for the police and some of the people who may have gotten off without much questioning. We also include passages from Damien's book Life After Death and the book Jason Baldwin helped write with Mara Leverit, Devil's Knot. We end this episode with a confession from Jesse Misskelley and the arrests of Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin.There's so much to unpack in this episode and this case!Sources:Jenkins, P (1992).

kezdte.En: "Today, we're going to try something new," she started.Hu: A szobában lévő diszkrét zene hangja mintha fokozódott volna egy pillanatra, erőt adva a helyzethez.En: The discreet music in the room seemed to swell for a moment, giving strength to the situation.Hu: „Mire gondol?En: "What do you have in mind?"Hu: ” kérdezte Zoltán, kissé gyanakodva.En: Zoltán asked, a bit suspiciously.Hu: „Ma alkotni fogunk.En: "Today we will create.Hu: Használhat festékeket, vagy akár rajzolhat.En: You can use paints or even draw.Hu: Nem számít, mit választ, csak legyen őszinte az érzéseivel” - javasolta Katalin, miközben egy halom színes ceruzás dobozt tett elé.En: It doesn't matter what you choose, just be honest with your feelings," suggested Katalin, as she placed a box of colorful pencils in front of him.Hu: Zoltán tétován nyúlt a ceruzákhoz.En: Zoltán hesitantly reached for the pencils.Hu: Először csak apró vonalakat húzott a papírra, majd hirtelen megállt.En: At first, he drew only tiny lines on the paper, then suddenly stopped.Hu: Katalin türelmesen várt.En: Katalin waited patiently.Hu: Végül, Zoltán beszélni kezdett.En: Finally, Zoltán began to speak.Hu: Egy régi, gyermekkori emlék elevenedett meg a szeme előtt.En: An old childhood memory came to life before his eyes.Hu: A nagymamája kertje, a zug, ahol mindig elbújhatott.En: His grandmother's garden, the nook where he could always hide.Hu: Itt találkozott először a félelemmel, amikor egyszer elveszett a sűrű bokrok közt.En: He first met fear there when he got lost among the dense bushes.Hu: Ahogy mesélt, Katalin hallgatta.En: As he spoke, Katalin listened.Hu: Minden szó új perspektívát nyitott számára.En: Each word opened a new perspective for her.Hu: Lassan világossá vált a félelem eredete, és hogy miért viselkedett Zoltán úgy, ahogy.En: Gradually, the origin of the fear became clear, and why Zoltán behaved the way he did.Hu: Ez az emlék volt a kulcs a belső szorongásai megértéséhez.En: This memory was the key to understanding his inner anxieties.Hu: A terápiás ülés végén Zoltán megkönnyebbült.En: At the end of the therapy session, Zoltán felt relieved.Hu: Úgy érezte, mintha leomlott volna egy fal a lelkében.En: He felt as if a wall had collapsed within his soul.Hu: Megköszönte Katalin támogatását, és megígérte, hogy folytatja a munkát önmagával.En: He thanked Katalin for her support and promised to continue working on himself.Hu: Aznap, amikor Katalin kiment a szobából, elégedettséget és reményt érzett.En: That day, when Katalin left the room, she felt satisfaction and hope.Hu: A levelek még mindig hullottak, de ő belül szilárdabbnak érezte magát.En: The leaves were still falling, but she felt more solid inside.Hu: Tudta, hogy Zoltán története nem csak neki mutatott új utakat, hanem erősítette a saját elkötelezettségét is, hogy továbbra is személyre szabottan segítsen mindenkinek, aki az útjába kerül.En: She knew that Zoltán's story not only showed her new paths but also strengthened her own commitment to continue to provide personalized help to everyone who crossed her path.

If you want to listen to the full episode (XYBM 141) from this clip, search for the title: "Ep. 141: How to Heal so you can build Healthy Relationships with James Harris” — it was released on October 6, 2025.In XYBM 141, I sit down with James Harris — licensed mental health professional, Army veteran, and founder of Men to Heal. We dive deep into the ongoing journey of healing, the impact of trauma, and how childhood adversity can shape the way we move through the world. James shares powerful stories from his upbringing, his time in the military, and navigating his mother's early onset dementia — all while breaking down what depression and trauma responses really look like for Black men.We also talk about therapy: how to find the right therapist and why it's so important for Black men and veterans to have spaces where they can heal and be understood.This episode is especially meaningful to me because James was one of the first mental health professionals to support Express Yourself Black Man — back when we had less than 10K followers. So if you support us now, know that he supported us then.
