We talk a lot about mental toughness. But most of us were never taught the difference between strength and self-abandonment. In this episode, we explore why pushing harder, overriding your emotions, and “staying strong” often erode self-trust instead of building it—and how real mental toughness is something entirely different. This is a grounded, honest conversation about staying with yourself when things get uncomfortable. About the quiet ways self-abandonment shows up in high performers, parents, leaders, and in the familiar phrase: “I'm fine.” And about why burnout doesn't come from effort—it comes from effort layered with judgment. We unpack what emotional resilience actually looks like in real life, how to listen to your inner voice under pressure, and why embarrassment and discomfort aren't signs that you're failing—they're signs that you're growing. In this episode, you'll learn: The difference between being tough on yourself and tough for yourself Why self-criticism masquerades as discipline Where self-abandonment shows up in high-responsibility roles How to build self-trust in the moments that matter most A simple reflection loop to stay present instead of pushing through Why emotional resilience—not suppression—is the foundation of real strength This conversation is not about doing less or lowering standards. It's about learning how to stay loyal to yourself while you do hard things. If you're capable, committed, and quietly exhausted from holding it all together, this episode will help you rethink what strength actually requires.

Reinvention isn't a comeback montage; it's a messy rebuild in public. We brought Maven on to talk about how he turned a “Tough Enough” tag he could never shake into a media brand built on candor, craft, and community. From going viral on YouTube within months to taking bumps on thumbtacks just to explain how the magic works, he breaks down the strategy behind the growth: make YouTube videos that happen to be about wrestling, not wrestling videos awkwardly uploaded to YouTube.We trace the arc from early locker room heat to earning respect through work with The Undertaker and veterans who judged him on how he treated people and performed in the ring. Maven opens up about living under labels, why he stopped seeking permission, and how telling the truth—politely or bluntly—wins over audiences even when it ruffles peers. He shares the episode with Enzo that never aired, the night he borrowed Batista's suit when his custom one didn't show, and the reality of Randy Orton's once-in-a-generation instincts paired with youthful volatility. There's RVD lore, too, and a confession about losing a round to the legend's tolerance.We also get practical about the business side fans feel in their wallets: ticket prices that price out families, short-circuiting the pipeline that made so many of us fans in the first place. Maven argues for affordability, smarter demographics, and creating spaces where fathers, mothers, and kids can build memories without breaking the bank. And for wrestlers eyeing life after the ring, he lays out a blueprint for owning your story: collaborate widely, serve the audience first, bring receipts, and respect the platform.If you love wrestling storytelling with honesty, humor, and real insight into YouTube growth, audience building, and fan-first thinking, this conversation hits the sweet spot. Listen, share it with a friend who loves the business, and if it resonated, subscribe and leave a review so more fans can find it.Send a text

Australia has long been held up across the world as the gold standard of gun control. Firearms laws are the responsibility of the states and territories, and the National Firearms Agreement was introduced after the 1996 Port Arthur massacre to standardise rules about who could own a gun - and why. Now, National Cabinet has decided that even tighter rules around gun ownership should be rapidly rolled out after a licensed firearm user and his son killed at least 15 people in a terrorist attack at Bondi. - 少なくとも15人が犠牲となったボンダイの銃撃事件を受け、ナショナル・キャビネットは緊急会合を開き、銃の所持をめぐる規制を、さらに厳しくし、早急に導入することを決めました。

Законы об оружии находятся в ведении штатов и территорий, а Национальное соглашение об огнестрельном оружии было введено после массового убийства в Порт-Артуре в 1996 году, чтобы унифицировать правила: кто и по каким причинам может владеть оружием. Теперь Национальный кабинет министров решил в ускоренном порядке ввести ещё более жёсткие правила владения оружием после того, как лицензированный владелец огнестрельного оружия и его сын убили по меньшей мере 15 человек в террористической атаке на Бондае.

The 80s weren't a fertile time for blues on the radio. Eventually, acts like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Robert Cray and this week's guest the Fabulous Thunderbirds captured some attention and kept the torch lit.

Season 9, Episode 18 of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast dives deep into the emotional burnout, job market frustration, and silent battles faced by young millennial men. Featuring Glenn Bradford, creator of the Tough Enough brand, this episode doesn't sugarcoat the reality: sometimes it really feels like having the degrees, certifications, and all the “right” moves still isn't enough to get a callback — and no, it's not just you. Glenn and Izzy get real about what it's like to apply for over 500 jobs, rack up rejection emails in under 15 minutes, and feel like you've done everything right — from rewriting your resume for ATS scanners to writing the “white woman letters” that supposedly get attention — and still end up unemployed, underpaid, or undervalued. If you've ever felt like the system was rigged, especially as a Black man being told by your parents you “must be the problem,” this one's for you. From beefing with Indeed (because who actually gets a job from there?) to facing job market stagnation where no raises, no promotions, and no opportunity feel like the new normal — Glenn shares how he's navigating entrepreneurship, corporate letdowns, and keeping his mental peace in a season of waiting.This episode is also about learning how to hold your head high when the world makes you feel disposable. It's about keeping it real — admitting when you're in a drought, but choosing to stay positive and keep tweaking your approach. Because corporate broke and entrepreneur broke are two different struggles, but both can lead to depression, disconnection, and a dangerous loss of self-worth if you're not careful. Glenn reminds us that “everything is an interview,” whether it's a free project or a content shoot for exposure. And sometimes, relationships — not résumés — open doors. Whether you're hustling for referrals on LinkedIn or trying to stack certifications just to feel employable, this episode is a raw, motivating look at surviving career limbo, choosing peace over panic, and staying tough enough to keep going.Listen if you're tired of hearing "just network" when your phone stays dry, you're wondering if you're the only one overeducated and underemployed, you're trying to decide whether to keep applying or just build your own thing, or you need a laugh, a truth bomb, and a reminder that you're not crazy — this system is broken.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package
