    In this episode of the Deeper Than Dough podcast, Bennett Maxwell sits down with Amy Green Smith to discuss her journey of breaking free from a conservative, born-again Christian upbringing and finding her own voice and self-worth.

    Amy shares the impact of setting boundaries, speaking up for oneself, and recognizing the value of one's opinions and needs. She discusses societal pressures to achieve and the need to prioritize self-care and mental well-being. The conversation explores critical thinking and questioning beliefs while maintaining empathy and understanding in relationships and personal growth.

    Topics covered include self-interest, people-pleasing, religious extremism, deconstruction, and the concept of worthiness. Amy and Bennett explore the idea that all actions are driven by self-interest, whether immediate or delayed. They address the grief and identity crisis that can accompany leaving a religion and emphasize the importance of distinguishing between self-preservation and outsourcing self-worth.

    Additionally, they discuss the role of language and words in shaping our beliefs and experiences. Join us for an episode that aims to inspire and challenge your perspectives on personal growth, self-worth, and the journey to finding your true voice.

  • 84: The Power of Self-Compassion and Letting Go of Judgment | Deeper Than Dough - Dr. David Morgan

    84: The Power of Self-Compassion and Letting Go of Judgment | Deeper Than Dough - Dr. David Morgan
    Jul 31 2024
    In this episode of the Deeper Than Dough podcast, Bennett Maxwell sits down with Dr. David Morgan, the man who inspired him to venture into the world of podcasting. Dr. Morgan, a licensed psychologist and mental health consultant, shares his compelling journey from his early career to his current roles as the Director of Mental Health Awareness for Silicon Slopes and the host of the Mental Health Momentum podcast.

    Dr. Morgan delves into the significance of a multifaceted approach to mental health, highlighting the interconnectedness of mental and physical well-being. As mental health issues become increasingly prevalent, Dr. Morgan discusses the factors contributing to this rise, emphasizing the need for greater understanding and effective solutions.

    One of the most touching moments of the conversation is Dr. Morgan's personal account of his son returning early from a mission due to severe anxiety. He opens up about the profound lessons he learned from this experience, particularly the importance of self-compassion and releasing judgment.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Holistic Mental Health: Addressing mental health issues effectively requires considering physical well-being alongside mental health.
    • Rising Awareness: The increasing rates of mental health issues may stem from a combination of greater awareness and improved reporting.
    • Self-Compassion: Personal growth and overcoming challenges are deeply rooted in self-compassion and letting go of judgment.
    • Parenting with Love: Empowering, supporting, and loving children are far more effective than relying on authority and control.
    • Self-Perception: Focusing on our own self-perception and well-being is crucial, as others do not scrutinize our actions as much as we might think.
