Think working in mental health is just sitting and listening? The reality is a chaotic, high volume front line where workers face severe psychological crises every single day. In this episode, our host sits down with the author of “So You Want To Work in Mental Health?: The Good, the Bad, and the Unforgettable,” Cliffard Mayo, MBA, LAC, to pull back the curtain on what really happens behind closed doors for many mental health workers. Listeners will learn: Mental health workers are trained not to internalize a client's failures, and therefore often refuse to take credit for their successes. Nonclinical staff absorb crisis trauma but are often denied essential training and support. Empathy fatigue is where clients begin to feel like a rotation of numbers rather than people. Training vs. Reality: Academia teaches how to run a controlled, one-on-one clinical session, but often fails to prepare graduates for the volume, chaos, and emotional exhaustion of the actual field. Whether you are a professional working in healthcare or someone determined to understand the current, raw state of mental health advocacy, this conversation delivers the essential insights and perspectives you need. Hit play to uncover the unspoken truths of caregiving and learn how we can preserve the people who spend their lives saving others.    "School prepared me to be a therapist in a session [...] It didn't prepare me for handling the sheer volume of vicarious trauma, chaos, exhaustion." — Cliffard Mayo, author of “So You Want to Work in Mental Health?” Our guest, Cliffard Mayo, MBA, LAC, is an award‑winning author and behavioral health professional with a decade of direct care experience, including crisis intervention and residential therapy. Known for his authenticity and emotional intelligence, Cliffard blends professional expertise with deeply human storytelling to challenge stigma and inspire resilience. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.

SHOW NOTES:In this episode of Stories With Traction, Matt Zaun sits down with Mark Mallchok of Brella for a fascinating conversation about what actually makes an event memorable.Mark shares why great events are about far more than logistics, schedules, and content. He explains how the best events create real human connection, intentional engagement, and unforgettable experiences that people carry with them long after they leave the room.Matt and Mark unpack the psychology of audience attention, why too many events fail by cramming in too much content, and how planners can achieve stronger ROI by focusing on transformation rather than just information. They also explore why location matters so much, how every 10 minutes of an event should include an engagement shift, and why participants need to feel like active contributors, not passive spectators.If you care about leadership, communication, audience engagement, conferences, or creating experiences that truly resonate, this episode is packed with practical insight.

In this episode, I'm getting painfully honest about something I think so many women silently experience…what happens when you slowly start abandoning yourself in order to be easier to love.I'm sharing the deeper story behind why I care so much about visibility, branding, self-expression, and helping doulas stop watering themselves down online — because this work has never really just been about Instagram bios or marketing strategy for me.It's about identity.It's about the years I spent believing I was too much: too emotional, too loud, too expressive, too ambitious, too visible.And how slowly — through relationships, conditioning, fear of judgment, and fear of rejection — I started shrinking myself without even realizing it.In this conversation, I open up about: ✨ my first marriage and how I lost myself in tiny edits ✨ the emotional cost of becoming “digestible” ✨ why visibility feels unsafe for so many women ✨ the surprising role dance played in helping me reclaim myself ✨ how self-expression impacts business, confidence, and magnetism ✨ why so many doulas struggle online even with “good strategy” ✨ and why the goal of branding is not to remove yourself from your message… but reveal yourself more clearlyIf you've ever felt like you need to tone yourself down to be accepted… If you've been hiding parts of yourself online… If your content feels flat, filtered, or emotionally disconnected…this episode is for you.And if you want support making your brand feel more human, emotionally connective, and memorable…I do offer personalized Doula IG Bio Audits where I review your bio, messaging, positioning, and first impression so your page actually sounds like YOU.Snag one here or DM me the word AUDIT on Instagram. Struggling to grow your doula business?

This episode kicks off a brand-new series on the Six Figure Doula Podcast all about visibility, personal branding, emotional connection, and what actually makes doulas unforgettable online.I'm breaking down why being the “best” doula doesn't automatically make you visible...I'm talking about: Why I think the doula industry has an “optimization addiction”  The reason some doulas are unforgettable online while others blend into the background  The moment I stopped trying to sound like my mentors and finally leaned into my own voice  How my background in dance, sales psychology, and storytelling shaped my brand  Why different creates emotional memory, and emotional memory creates clients This episode is vulnerable, bold, and probably a little uncomfortable at times… but it's the conversation I think the birth world desperately needs.Because your future clients cannot choose the version of you they cannot clearly see.And they definitely cannot remember the version of you that sounds like everybody else. ✨ And if you want help figuring out how your brand is actually coming across online, I'm offering my FREE IG Bio Audit where I personally review: your positioning  your messaging  your clarity  and your first impression Spots are limited because I personally do these myself, so grab yours before they're gone.

THE NEW YORK OBSERVER — “I finally went up to Graydon and I said, ‘Hey, you know, I know you like me. I know you wanted me to be here, but I can also do covers.'” • • • That's today's guest, Mark Seliger. He's the same Mark Seliger who, at the moment of this exchange with Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, had already shot over 180 covers for Rolling Stone, where he was the chief photographer from 1992-2002. Seliger had been heavily recruited by GQ and Vanity Fair to move to Condé Nast. But, as he learned, the days of being Fred Woodward's go-to image maker were over. Once again, he was the new guy. And he saw an opportunity to reinvent himself. Fortunately, reinvention is Seliger's middle name. (Well, it's really Alan, but you get what we mean). For example: Seliger grew up in rural Texas, but decides to go big and moves to New York City to get into the magazine business. Reinvention #1. He gets early work at business magazines like Manhattan, Inc. In short time his portraiture lands him a few plum assignments at Rolling Stone. Reinvention #2. Unforgettable shoots and an immediate connection with Woodward lands him the title of chief photographer, and he picks right up where the legendary Annie Leibovitz leaves off. Reinvention #3. His exposure at Rolling Stone leads Seliger (along with his pal Woodward) to directing music videos for A-listers like Lenny Kravitz and Courtney Love, and Gap commercials with LL Cool J and Missy Elliott. Reinvention #4. When Covid hits, and publishing effectively shuts down, he pivots to documentary photography and produces an epic portfolio of an empty and still New York City that becomes the book, The City That Finally Sleeps. Reinvention #5. And somewhere in the middle of all of this, Reinvention #6: Seliger starts writing songs in his free time, and then forms the band Rusty Truck. And at the moment Seliger is reminding Graydon Carter that he knows his way around a cover shoot, Rusty Truck releases its first album, Luck's Changing Lanes, which is produced by Lenny Kravitz, Gillian Welch, Willie Nelson, Dave Rawlings, Sheryl Crow, T-Bone Burnett, and Bob Dylan. That's a lot. A whole lot. But for Seliger, it's all of a piece. Photography, music, work, life. He says it's all about following your curiosity. Observing. Not just looking but seeing. “For me,” he explains, “it's all about storytelling—the storytelling in photography translated well into the storytelling of songwriting. And that exploration leads you to do something that you'd never done before.” That's the story of his life. — This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

My guests today on the Online for Authors podcast are Jan Comfort, Karen W. Prescott, Lisa M. Pritchard, Lynda Stoy Stear, Carol Stigger, Jennifer E. Tirrell and myself, authors of the book Carolina Tides.   In my book review, I stated Carolina Tides is a beach-read anthology of short stories by seven authors: Teri M. Brown, Jan Comfort, Karen W. Prescott, Lisa M. Pritchard, Lynda Stoy Stear, Carol Stigger, and Jennifer E. Tirrell. The premise of the anthology is to provide stories for those vacationing on the coast for a week - a story a day for a week-long stay. Each story is vastly different with the coast of North and South Carolina, and authors living on the coast, as the anchor.   Inside you'll find clean romance, adventures, historical fiction, redemption, hurricanes, family ties, and even a creative nonfiction piece on the history of the area. There's something for everyone.   Just as importantly as the stories, 100% of the proceeds from the book are going to support women in need in Brunswick County, NC and Horry County, SC. You don't have to vacation at the beach to love this book, so grab your copy today!   Teri M Brown: Teri is a writer of character-driven fiction and introduces readers to characters they'd love to invite to lunch.

Prescott: Karen is the author of both historical fiction and nonfiction, with a particular interest in place-based stories that blend history, imagination, and human connection.
