In this episode of CASAT Conversations, we are honored to welcome Dr. Steven C. Hayes, a pioneering clinical psychologist and the originator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). With decades of groundbreaking work that has transformed the field of psychotherapy, Dr. Hayes brings a deep understanding of how we build resilience, move through suffering, and live with purpose.Drawing from tribal traditions, spiritual wisdom, and cutting-edge behavioral science, Dr. Hayes shares how ACT helps people willingly take on their own history, turn toward their pain, and connect with what matters most. He reflects on pivotal moments in his career—including his TEDx Talk, Turning Pain into Purpose—and emphasizes the importance of developing mental flexibility in a post-COVID world where "5 out of 5 of us" need resilience.Dr. Hayes also critiques the systemic challenges facing the mental health field today, including the limitations of the DSM, the influence of pharmaceutical companies, and the reduction of individuals to data points in normative science. With humility and fierce compassion, he calls for a culture shift in psychotherapy—one where practitioners are empowered to trust their intuition, meet clients with curiosity, and reject categorical thinking in favor of wholeness and integration.In this episode, Dr. Hayes discusses:The role of acceptance in healing and transformationACT's connection to tribal traditions and human resilienceHow personal pain can become a path to purposeHis critique of the current mental health system and the DSMThe power of integrating all parts of ourselvesA vision for bottom-up change in psychotherapy through practitioner wisdomJoin us for a compelling and candid conversation about how we can reimagine mental health care—from the inside out—and reconnect with the core of what makes us human.Key words: acceptance and commitment therapy, ACT therapy, resilience, mental health, healing, wisdomResources: TEDTalk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o79_gmO5ppgInstitute for Better health: https://www.ibh.com/Books by Steven C.

We all have demons. Some we fought on the battlefield, others we fight in our own minds. For Army veteran Juan Espinoza, the weight of his experiences nearly crushed him-until he found a way to process the pain. After years of bottling up emotions and trying to "just push through," Juan hit a breaking point. One cold December night, he stepped into the rain, dropped to his knees, and screamed for purpose. What followed was an outpouring of emotion that turned into a book-written in just two days-that changed his life forever. In this episode, Juan shares how writing became his therapy, how shifting your perspective can change your life, and why true strength comes from vulnerability, not suppression. Whether you're a veteran dealing with the unseen scars of service, struggling with relationships, or searching for purpose after the uniform comes off, this conversation will hit home.And if you think you're not the "writing type," Juan's story might just change your mind.Timestamps: 02:45 - Juan's Army career and combat deployments 10:45 - Writing as a form of healing and self-reflection 22:30 - The power of perspective in overcoming pain 35:45 - Strength in vulnerability and breaking toxic cycles 50:15 - How veterans can start their healing journeyLinks & ResourcesVeteran Suicide & Crisis Line: Dial 988, then press 1 Website: https://juanespinoza.meTranscriptView the transcript for this episode.

Join us and be inspired in this replay episode from Women Acquiring Assets, featuring Bridget Therese Romo's journey— a powerful testament to resilience, transformation, and purpose. After enduring the heartbreak of losing a child, she turned to fitness as a way to rebuild her strength both mentally and physically. This healing process sparked a deeper drive that led her to enter fitness competitions, where she discovered a passion for discipline, goal-setting, and personal growth. These qualities laid the foundation for her next chapter: entrepreneurship. Relocating to Houston after a divorce and facing an unexpected layoff, Therese seized the moment to start a social media management business. What began as a small effort quickly grew into an international operation with 17 clients, thanks to her authenticity, digital strategy savvy, and relentless work ethic. She's also expanded into fitness coaching for pageant contestants, writing a curriculum for Miss Academy, and publishing a book, Strong Mind, Strong Body, all of which reflect her mission to empower young women through health, confidence, and self-awareness. Bridget's story is more than inspiring—it's actionable. Her life illustrates that even the most painful moments can be turned into stepping stones for lasting impact. Whether you're navigating loss, considering entrepreneurship, or seeking to empower others, let her journey be your spark. Start by investing in your own growth, embracing the unknown, and building something greater from your challenges. We're happy you're here! Like the pod? Visit our website!

Frida Kahlo, the legendary Mexican painter, is celebrated not only for her vivid and emotionally raw self-portraits but also as a timeless icon of disability pride and resilience. From childhood polio to a catastrophic bus accident at 18, Kahlo endured lifelong physical pain and countless surgeries—yet she transformed that suffering into some of the most powerful artwork of the 20th century. In this episode, we explore how Frida used her chronic pain and disability as fuel for creativity, boldly redefining what beauty, identity, and strength look like. Her unapologetic self-expression and refusal to conform to societal expectations continue to inspire people around the globe—especially those living with disabilities. Join us as we celebrate the life, art, and lasting impact of Frida Kahlo—an artist whose legacy proves that pain does not limit power, and disability does not diminish vision.

Born in New Orleans, young Tyler Perry is forced to contend with all sorts of abuse. Some is at the hands of his explosive and alcoholic father, as well as neighbors and people he thought he could trust. Eventually, he escapes to Atlanta to pursue his dreams of writing and performing - while working countless menial jobs and living in his car along the way. But in 1998, when his lead actress doesn't show up to perform in his play, he rewrites the entire show overnight - with his character (Madea) now the lead. And just like that - everything changes. Tyler strikes gold - tapping into an audience that, up until then - had been ignored by Hollywood. Madea makes Tyler an instant star, and sets him on a course to become one of the most powerful and influential figures in entertainment.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

Send us a textJessica Ramos is a 31-year-old registered nurse and passionate advocate for domestic violence awareness, drawing from her personal journey of survival and healing. Born and raised in the San Gabriel Valley, Jessica's life has been shaped by her strong foundation in faith and education, which she received through attending Catholic school from preschool through college. As a teenager, she built some of her best memories at Ramona Convent Secondary School in Alhambra and her first job at Marie Callender's in Monterey Park, where she later returned during the holidays, embracing the joy of reconnecting with her roots.Growing up in a home with divorced parents, Jessica and her sister experienced financial struggles, but both parents shared a mutual belief in providing a strong education and a safe environment. Jessica's focus on academics led her to complete a Bachelor's in Nursing and establish a solid career, but it wasn't until later that she realized her academic success had been driven by a deeper need for love and affection, stemming from unresolved childhood wounds.At 25, Jessica purchased her first home, only to find herself in an emotionally abusive relationship that would alter the course of her life. What began as a seemingly innocent relationship quickly turned toxic, leading to a cycle of emotional, verbal, physical, and sexual abuse. While she was excelling in her career as a nurse during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jessica faced a very different kind of nightmare at home—one marked by manipulation, gaslighting, and coercion. The relationship slowly stripped her of her voice, dignity, and sense of self.After enduring years of trauma, Jessica finally found the strength to escape. She sold her home, took a leave of absence from work, and began the long process of rebuilding her life from the wreckage of an abusive relationship. Although her case against her abuser was dismissed in court, Jessica's journey to healing had only just begun. With the support of loved ones, therapy, and access to resources like EMDR, somatic exercises, and organizations such as Peace Over Violence and East LA Women's Center, Jessica has taken back control of her life and found the strength to speak out about her experiences.Now, Jessica shares her story as a domestic violence survivor to spread awareness and help others who may be going through similar struggles. She hopes that by highlighting the early signs of abuse, the importance of self-worth, and the red flags to look out for, she can prevent others from enduring what she did. Her advocacy work is driven by her belief that domestic violence can affect anyone, regardless of their background or education, and that life after abuse can still be full of hope, healing, and beauty.Jessica's courage and resilience have transformed her into a voice for change, and through her journey, she has embraced the stronger, wiser version of herself. Her story is a reminder that healing is possible, and she is grateful for the opportunity to share her experiences in hopes of making a difference in the lives of others.___________________Music CreditsIntroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OGStingerScarlet Fire (Sting), Otis McDonald, YouTube Audio LibraryOutroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OG__________________My SGV Podcast:Website: www.mysgv.netNewsletter: Beyond the MicPatreon: MySGV Podcastinfo@sgvmasterkey.com

*Trigger Warning: There is mention of domestic abuse in this episode.  Episode #58: In this episode of Tami Talks: Unscripted Healing, I sit down with my dear friend Wendy C. Wilson—speaker, coach, and author of Iron Will—to talk about the long road from childhood trauma to deep healing, purpose, and emotional freedom. Wendy shares how witnessing abuse as a child, walking on eggshells, and struggling with self-worth shaped everything from her relationships to how she showed up at work. We dive into how people-pleasing, silence, and survival mode can follow us into adulthood—and how healing those inner wounds changes everything. This conversation is raw, real, and full of wisdom about breaking cycles, reclaiming your voice, and trusting the timing of your purpose. If you've ever felt like you're still waiting for clarity, this one will hit home.

In this episode, Matt speaks with Psychotherapist, Merle Yost, about how shame may influence sexual desire and arousal by eroticizing shame as a way of coping with it. Merle shares his story about being sexually molested by his father and the impact this had on his sexual development. Join us for this interesting topic that is often not talked about but deeply impacts many of us. The concepts and questions we explore in this episode are: What does it mean to eroticize shame? How do shame and desire become intertwined? What is dissociation, and how can someone overcome it? Why is there so much sexual compulsivity in the gay community? What are some common ways people turn shame into pleasure in BDSM, kink, or other erotic practices? How can someone safely explore these dynamics without reinforcing negative self-perceptions? Can eroticizing shame be a healing experience? If so, how? How can someone tell if they are using this exploration in a healthy or unhealthy way?

In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host and guest Juan Espinosa delve into the importance of addressing pain directly and how it can lead to personal growth and resilience. Juan shares his journey from combat veteran to author and motivational speaker, emphasizing the lessons learned from pain and vulnerability. The conversation explores the balance between strength and vulnerability in modern masculinity, the role of pain in personal development, and practical steps men can take to embrace their emotions and seek help.

Send us a textIn this inspiring conversation, Katie Campbell, board-certified holistic health coach and founder of Mindful Constitution, shares her journey from binge drinking to sobriety and spiritual awakening. Katie opens up about childhood trauma, her years of self-medication, and the "cognitive dissonance" she experienced while studying health while still drinking. She explains how sobriety helped her discover her true purpose: guiding highly sensitive, empathic women through their own sober curious journeys. From hosting monthly sober curious circles to helping clients build lives they don't need to escape from, Katie demonstrates how removing alcohol doesn't mean deprivation—it means liberation. This episode explores the spiritual dimensions of recovery and how alignment with your authentic self creates ripple effects far beyond just not drinking.Katie on TikTok and InstagramMindful Constitution PodcastSupport the show
