    216 — 7 Ways to Heal Trauma Without Going to Therapy
    2025/05/30
    Research shows 70% of us will experience trauma at least once in our lives, but many won’t seek therapy to work through it. Whether it’s because therapy doesn’t feel right for you, it’s not accessible, or you want to supplement it with additional strategies, there are many ways to recover from a traumatic experience. From drum circles to spending time in nature, research shows you don't have to talk about trauma to heal from it. There are practical and effective ways to help you regulate your emotions, calm your nervous system, and work through the pain in your own way. Some of the things I discuss today are: Why traditional talk therapy isn’t the only path to healing (and sometimes, not the best one). How drumming or theater can help release buried emotions. The surprising ways caring for animals or gardening can soothe your nervous system and promote healing. The specific physical activities that release trauma. The creative outlets that can open up paths to recovery.

    214 — Why Self-Care Isn't the Answer to Your Problems
    2025/05/23
    Self-care often gets hailed as the ultimate fix for stress, burnout, and every mental health issue. But self-care is frequently misunderstood. Sometimes, it can be like putting a Band-Aid on a deeper wound. So if self-care isn't the cure-all answer, what really helps for long-term change? That's what I'm talking about today. Some of the things I share are: Why self-care isn’t designed to fix issues like negative thinking patterns or toxic relationships. The problem with quick fixes like bubble baths when your stress is rooted elsewhere. The psychology behind building mental strength and why it’s more important than pampering yourself. How to figure out if you need to fix the problem or fix how you feel about it. The five practical steps that will help you strengthen your mind.

    212 — What Are You Feeding Your Brain? Here's What You Need to Know About Your Mental Diet
    2025/05/16
    Have you stopped to consider what you're feeding your brain every day? You wouldn’t fuel your body with junk food and expect peak performance. But many of us do exactly that with our minds. We doomscroll or binge watch stuff without giving it a second thought. But the things you read, watch, and engage with shape your mental strength. Just like your physical diet, your mental diet has a profound impact on your focus, emotions, and overall well-being. Some of the things I cover in this episode include: How your “mental diet” determines your thoughts, feelings, and resilience. Why consuming negativity—even for just 14 minutes—can leave you anxious and overwhelmed. The telltale signs that you’re stuck on a diet of “mental junk food.” The dopamine trap behind social media and why it leaves you craving more but feeling worse. Three simple and practical steps to “clean up” your mental diet and boost your mental clarity. How small shifts in consumption can make a big difference.
