Season 9 continues with a brand-new six-part series, Social Media and You, and Izzy Baker kicks it off on Thanksgiving Day with a conversation that hits home for anyone navigating digital life in 2025. From therapy misconceptions to doomscrolling addiction, Izzy opens the series with licensed professional counselor William Sharp, known online as With the Therapist, to explore the real link between social media and mental health. This one isn't just about apps — it's about attention, identity, and the hidden ways the online world is shaping how we think, feel, and believe. Izzy begins with humor and honesty, setting the tone for a Thanksgiving special that's as relatable as it is revealing.The meme of the week reads: “After being on social media… how's your mental health?” That question drives the episode as Izzy and Will unpack why therapy isn't just “paid advice,” why so many people — especially Black men — still resist counseling, and how misunderstanding therapy keeps communities stuck in cycles of burnout and emotional isolation. Drawing from Angel Reese and Monaleo's viral conversation about therapy, Izzy challenges the myth that “therapists tell you what you want to hear,” and instead highlights how real therapy forces us to confront the truths we've been avoiding.The discussion quickly widens into the bigger picture — how the digital world has become both a tool and a trap. Izzy and Will take a hard look at the rise of AI therapy tools like ChatGPT, the increasing dependence on digital validation, and how men are using online spaces to process pain in unhealthy ways. Will offers professional insight into why comparison culture hits men differently, explaining how purpose, work, and emotional restraint collide under the pressure of social media. Together, they explore what it means to live authentically when your highlight reel becomes your identity — and why so many “high-functioning” men are thriving online while quietly unraveling offline. In the Happy Hour segment, Izzy addresses one of the most controversial trends of the year — using chatbots as substitutes for therapy — and asks the hard question:At what point are we replacing God with technology? Drawing from Matthew 6:22 and Psalm 101:3, he warns listeners about guarding their eye gates and ear gates, breaking down how overstimulation, gossip algorithms, and endless “self-help” content can distort spiritual and emotional clarity. Will adds balance with practical strategies, from setting social media cut-off times to fasting from digital noise to refocus on purpose. The conversation turns deeply personal as the two men share how they've had to guard their peace as both content creators and counselors. Izzy opens up about his own struggles with distraction, comparison, and the temptation to overwork in the name of “purpose.”Will responds with a message on fasting, boundaries, and the freedom that comes from stepping away — even temporarily — to reclaim your mind. They both challenge listeners to examine how much control their phones really have, and to ask: Do you own your feed, or does it own you? By the time the Weekly Sabbatical arrives, the tone turns spiritual. Izzy reads from a reflection on Proverbs 4:20–22, reminding listeners that “what you watch, hear, and meditate on becomes either life or poison to your body.”He connects the scripture to modern habits — the endless scrolling, the comparison traps, and the way entertainment can quietly erode discipline and joy. The challenge of the week is simple but piercing: Do you need a social media fast — and if so, when's the last time you took one? As Thanksgiving unfolds, Izzy leaves the audience with a reminder that gratitude and presence matter more than performance. You don't have to post your plate to prove you're enjoying your blessings. You just have to live them.Listen. Reflect. And don't be afraid to join the conversation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package

The Brian Walshe case is one of those situations where the behavior speaks louder than the words. And when the behavior is stacked next to the timeline, the digital searches, and the ever-shifting narratives, the discrepancy becomes the whole story. In this episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us to break down what the psychology reveals — not in theory, but in the real patterns prosecutors say Brian Walshe followed. We're looking at the contrast between everyday lies and the kind of calculated misdirection that reshapes reality for everyone around it. Shavaun brings decades of clinical experience to explain why certain behavioral choices — from early-morning Google searches to inconsistent statements to elaborate cover stories — raise red flags that aren't just “suspicious” but psychologically telling. We analyze how serial deceivers rationalize their actions, why they believe they can outrun the truth, and how they maintain “normalcy” while living a double life. We also unpack the defense's version of events: the claim that Ana Walshe suddenly passed away, that Brian panicked, and that the dismemberment and disposal were responses to shock. Shavaun walks us through what genuine shock looks like, what guilt looks like, and how investigators typically spot the difference. Then we widen the lens: what the psychology says about leaving dangerous relationships, why the time when a partner prepares to leave can be the most volatile, and how betrayal, financial stress, and loss of control can escalate risk in ways friends and family often overlook. If you've ever wondered how trained professionals evaluate credibility, deception, and emotional performance in cases like this, this is the breakdown you need. #HiddenKillers #BrianWalsheCase #DeceptionPsychology #TrueCrimeInsights #ShavaunScott #CrimeBreakdown #CourtAnalysis #AnaWalshe #TrueCrimeDaily #PsychologyUnmasked Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When a debilitating back injury derailed Jesse Prescott's own athletic endeavours over a decade ago, it created in him an obsession with better understanding the root causes of pain, learning how to strengthen his body against future injury, and sharing what he learned with athletes of all ages and abilities. What followed was a journey into the inner workings of movement and performance and a career teaching others how to overcome their own pain and unlock the best version of themselves through his corrective manual therapy practice and strength coaching. Soon, Jesse was working with some of the fastest runners in North America in Flagstaff, Arizona; constantly tweaking and improving his programming to be tailor-made for the needs of runners. Combined with his manual therapy practice, runners began finding a solution to years spent dealing with chronic pain and vicious injury cycles and The Robust Human Project was born. Today, Jesse joins the show to share his unique approach to pain management and his strength training philosophy, one that he believes is at the heart of helping runners of all abilities get healthy, stay healthy, and bring out the best performances of their career.Learn more about Jesse Prescott at The Robust Human Project websiteand on Instagram @the.robust.humanSubscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.Thanks to this week's sponsor, CanPrevPrime your preparation, power your performance, and prioritize your post-run recovery with CanPrev.

Check out the collection of fidgets Team Shiny loves! You know that moment when you're doing something hard, painful, or just plain exhausting, and a tiny voice whispers, "Why is this so hard for me?" You're not alone and in this episode we'll break down where that comes from and how to escape the shame spiral.We're joined again by therapist Grace Gautier, a trans woman who works closely with trans and neurodivergent communities. Last week the group cracked open the shame so many of us carry about being “too much” or “not enough” and began to see those traits not as flaws, but as survival strategies. If you haven't heard that one yet, listen here. It's a grounding prequel to this one—especially if you've ever felt like you had to earn your way into belonging. This episode follows that path even deeper! Because once you name the systems that shaped you, the question becomes: now what?It's a conversation about internalized ableism, pushing through pain to prove worth, and the quiet (and sometimes loud) practice of unmasking. Not everywhere. Not all at once. Just somewhere. Together, they unpack:Why we equate doing hard things with being good enoughHow ableism hides in everyday pressure and perfectionismWhat it looks like to stop chasing ease and start honoring honestyThe quiet power of choosing to show up as yourselfIf you've ever felt stuck over performing while quietly falling apart, this conversation might be a the paradigm shift you need.
In today's episode, we're joined by super dad and trauma therapist Brian Hufford, who brings a powerful and refreshing perspective on parenting, connection, and mental health. As a father of six, a grandfather, and a certified trauma professional, Brian has seen firsthand what actually shapes resilient, confident kids—and what truly matters (hint: it's not perfection).We dive into: • why shame and guilt keep moms stuck • how connection outweighs every parenting “rule” • navigating the messy, imperfect parts of raising kids • finding the balance between structure and autonomy • letting go of the pressure to be a “perfect mom” • simple ways to build trust and emotional safety in your homeIf you've ever felt like you're failing, overwhelmed, or unsure whether you're doing this parenting thing “right,” this episode will lift the weight off your shoulders. Brian offers compassionate, research-backed insight that will help you reframe your role, reconnect with your kids, and feel more grounded as a parent.This conversation is validating, encouraging, and full of aha moments you'll carry with you long after you listen.Text us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!

Problematic gaming gets experienced in many households, but can be SO HARD to find any information about! Jennifer J. Park, PhD, has been working on gaming disorder since 2018. After realizing that New Zealand had no existing programs to help people specifically with gaming disorder, Jennifer set out to study this growing concern. Therapists and people at that time were accessing pre-existing addiction programs, but had nothing to help with gaming specifically. If you have a gamer at your house or know someone who may be spending a bit more time than others online gaming, this episode is one you won't want to miss!

Therapist and host of “The Dude Therapist”, Eli Weinstein, LCSW, returns to the show with Bryce Hamilton LSCSW to talk... The post ADHD in Marriage & Relationships with Eli Weinstein LCSW appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.
In this episode, Dr. K'dee Crews interviews Vicki Griffin, author, speaker, and wellness educator, who shares her powerful story of overcoming trauma, addiction, and eating disorders. She reveals how hope, faith, nutrition, lifestyle, and resilient thinking can transform brokenness into healing—and how small, daily steps can build habits that last.—
In this episode, Dr. Sharon Niv discusses her work at Joyus, a public benefit company focused on revolutionizing mental health care through personalized at-home microdose ketamine treatments. Dr. Sharon explains the history of ketamine as a treatment for mental health, its mechanisms of action, and the importance of community support in the healing process. Nick asks Dr. Sharon questions that address common concerns and stigma surrounding ketamine treatment, emphasizing its low risk and potential benefits. Their conversation also explores the role of neuroplasticity in mental health recovery and the future of AI in therapy. Dr. Sharon provides insights into personalized treatment protocols and encourages both patients and therapists to consider the benefits of ketamine therapy. Key Takeaways: Dr. Sharon Niv is a cognitive psychologist bridging neuroscience and therapy. Joyus offers personalized at-home microdose ketamine treatments. Ketamine was first synthesized in the 1950s and is used safely in medical settings. The drug has shown promise in treating severe depression and suicidality. Ketamine works primarily on the glutamate system, unlike traditional psychedelics. Lower doses of ketamine can provide therapeutic benefits without destabilizing experiences. Community support is crucial for individuals undergoing ketamine treatment. Neuroplasticity allows the brain to change and adapt, which is enhanced by ketamine. Personalized treatment protocols are essential for effective ketamine therapy. AI has potential in mental health, but should not replace human therapists.

The holidays can bring out our best—and our most anxious—selves. Therapist and author Dr. Kathleen Smith (True to You; Everything Isn't Terrible) will join Jenny Brown to discuss staying kind and self-defined when those predictable family tensions rise.How can parents handle sensing disapproval, differing values, and “helpful” relatives without losing themselves—or their sense of humor? Dr. Smith draws on family systems thinking to share examples of managing one's own anxiety, showing up with more emotional maturity in front of our kids, and staying connected without falling into people-pleasing.Indeed, you can respect your family and stay true to yourself this holiday season.Quote:To live a life that is truer to you, it's useful to understand the ways you lose self—the capacity to think and act as an individual—in a relationship system. Maybe you like to keep your relationships light and superficial, using distance to avoid any tension. Maybe you end up overfunctioning, directing everyone so you feel steady. Perhaps you've been quick to triangle other people into conflict, unsure of your own thinking.Smith, Dr Kathleen.

Send us a textA recent study found that 1 in 8 U.S. adolescents and young adults use AI chatbots for mental health advice. How safe is it to use these chatbots without or along with human therapists? Our guest experts for this episode are Nicole Noble, Ph.D., an an assistant professor in the TTUHSC School of Health Professions and therapist in the Your Life Behavioral Health and Wellness Clinic and David Pfaff, Ph.D., a clinical mental health therapist with the School of Health Professions Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. Their insight on this topic will hopefully lead listeners to understand what to expect from these everyday chatbots, how we can use them as a tool to help with therapy, how therapists themselves use AI and why this is still one of those professional services that is best handled by a human.

This episode brings together members of John Kim's Single on Purpose coaching team for an unfiltered, deeply human conversation about what happened when the SOP community was suddenly closed. These are therapists, coaches, and facilitators — doing therapy on each other — exploring the activation, the grief, the meaning, and the unexpected wounds that surfaced. You'll hear them talk about: What SOP meant to them personally and professionally The abrupt ending and why it hit so hard Abandonment wounds, leadership, and rupture-repair The magic of the community they built together Why therapists are human, vulnerable, and messy too What they're taking with them into the next chapter Whether you were part of SOP, or you're experiencing your own ending, transition, or rupture — this conversation will land.

I tell my money coaching clients all the time that if their health isn't right, it doesn't matter how great their money is—they won't be able to make the most of it. You could have a six-figure salary and a robust investment portfolio, but if you're mentally and emotionally depleted from constantly putting everyone else first, none of it brings you peace or fulfillment. Mental health is something that doesn't get anywhere near enough attention, especially for women who are taught from a young age to be caregivers, nurturers, and people-pleasers. It impacts so many areas of our lives…our relationships, our career decisions, our spending habits, our ability to set boundaries…and deserves to always be a priority, not an afterthought. That's why I couldn't be more excited to welcome licensed marriage and family therapist Dr. Jamila Holcomb to the show today. With over a decade of experience helping individuals and families, plus her work mentoring future therapists at Florida State University, Dr. Holcomb brings invaluable insight into the people-pleasing patterns that keep so many women stuck. In this conversation, we're diving deep into how women can stop people pleasing and start prioritizing their own happiness, and how their mental health (and even their finances) will benefit as a result. As we look to close out another year, make sure you're starting 2026 with a renewed sense of self-love, worthiness, and healthy boundaries. Here's What You'll Learn in This Episode: Recognizing subtle signs you're stuck in people-pleasing patterns The connection between people-pleasing, burnout, and mental health How childhood and cultural expectations shape caregiving behaviors Practical first steps to start prioritizing your own needs without guilt The role of self-worth in breaking free from people-pleasing How people-pleasing shows up in money habits and financial boundaries Setting healthy boundaries for emotional, mental, and financial wellness Self-reflection practices to build self-trust as you enter the new year The Mental Health-Money Connection: People-pleasing doesn't just drain you emotionally—it shows up in your bank account too. From overspending on others to avoiding financial boundaries, learn how prioritizing yourself mentally leads to better financial decisions and true wealth. Here's a glance at this episode: [03:00] Dr. Holcomb's Journey: Over a decade in mental health therapy and what drew her to this field. [07:45] Irritability is a common symptom prescribed to women and Jamila believes it's connected to women overextending themselves. [17:57] Reclaiming Personal Time: Creating a list of neglected activities and how to reintegrate them. [30:08] Overwhelm is personal and systemic. It's important to remember that empowering yourself is a start to impacting the overall system. [36:21] Money and Self-Worth: How finances become tools for justifying worth and gaining love through people-pleasing. Rate, Review, & Follow: Did you love this episode?

When Crisis Hits Home: How Therapists Can Survive and Support Each Other — An Interview with Jeanine Rousso Curt and Katie chat with Jeanine Rousso, a licensed counselor and supervisor in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina and founder of Therapist Resource Network, about how therapists can care for themselves when natural disasters or crises directly impact them. They discuss why therapists often push past their limits, how to assess capacity and step back ethically, and the importance of financial preparedness and peer support. About Our Guest:Jeanine Rousso is a licensed counselor and supervisor in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. She founded the nonprofit organization Therapist Resource Network to provide emergency financial support, burnout prevention and recovery, and advocacy for mental health professionals. Key Takeaways for Therapists: Therapists often try to maintain pre-crisis workloads after disasters, leading to burnout. It's essential to check your own capacity before showing up for clients. Build financial documentation and savings as a personal safety net. Disaster recovery requires both individual resilience and systemic advocacy.

I'm thrilled to welcome back my friend and financial powerhouse, Carla Titus. Every time Carla joins us, she brings clarity, strategy, and a whole lot of honesty about what it really takes to run a profitable, sustainable practice. And today, we're talking about something most of us don't think about until we're exhausted, burned out, or feeling stuck: your exit plan.

Carla and I dig into what it means to build a practice that's always exit-ready—not because you're leaving tomorrow, but because an exit-ready practice is a healthy, thriving, profitable practice today. This is one of those episodes that will shift your mindset and give you real-world steps to start strengthening your financial foundation. So let's jump in. Carla Titus is a finance expert with over 15 years of combined corporate financial planning, analysis, strategy, and online business experience.

As someone who trained and worked as a therapist, then left the system to create an online coaching company, here are my thoughts on the unique strengths and gaps in each field.

Artificial intelligence will be one of the major issues in the upcoming session of the Virginia General Assembly. Michael Pope has this preview of one bill taking aim at AI.
On this Saturday edition, Mike Pesca reaches into the archives for a 2016 classic with actor and author Jesse Eisenberg. They discuss Eisenberg's short story collection Bream Gives Me Hiccups and the "creek vs. crick" linguistic controversy it sparked, while analyzing why a nine-year-old restaurant critic is the perfect vessel for exposing adult hypocrisies. Eisenberg explains why he prefers writing dialogue to describing sunsets, reveals the existence of a spreadsheet tracking whether he or Paul Newman played a role better, and admits that his anthropology background is just an excuse for professional eavesdropping. Finally, the two perform the radio play "Marv Albert Is My Therapist".

Two years ago, I said AI couldn't replace therapists. I was wrong—about the technology, anyway. In late 2025, AI can now see you, hear your voice, and remember everything you say. But just because it can doesn't mean it should. In this episode, I'm exploring what's actually possible, who AI might actually help, and the uncomfortable questions we're not asking yet. This one might upset you. Good.Resources:

Today, Jess and Caroline call in an expert - who also happens to be one of Jess's closest friends: Kate Berman, AMFT - to discuss your WHATADOs just in time for that awkward family dinner.They start off strong with a question about whether the listener should join her boyfriend's family vacation even after his father seemed less than pleased with the idea. Then they move into a question about unexpected divorce, which leads them down a rabbit hole on the pain of being misrepresented. Kate shares her insights on when couples therapy is most valuable before the three dive into their last juicy WHATADO: all about if you're having enough sex in your relationship. What if we divest from society's expectations? What if we accept that there are seasons to our sex lives? They explore it all, just for you.Kate is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) who is passionate about helping clients increase self-awareness, harness their innate strengths, and ultimately improve the quality of their relationships - with self, loved ones, the environment, and their sense of purpose.

The holiday season is upon us. It's a wonderful time, but if we're being honest, it's also a little stressful. Whether you're worried about hosting a big family gathering, talking with cousins who have very different perspectives on politics or awkward questions from prying aunts, the holidays are full of complicated relationship dynamics. On this episode of “Modern Love,” Nedra Glover Tawwab, a therapist, responds to questions from listeners about making the holidays just a bit more tolerable. Tawwab is the author of “Drama Free,” a guide to having better relationships with family, and the forthcoming book “The Balancing Act,” which is all about creating healthy dependency within relationships. She tells us why Black Friday is her practice's busiest day of the year, and how we can all take control of our own holiday experience.
