I also share tips on how to be self-aware and honest about what we can and cannot do, and why it's crucial to be adaptable and willing to learn new things.

  • RED LIGHT SYNDROME
    Aug 10 2023

    S01E02 | MENTAL HEALTH & THE BENEFITS OF COUNSELING
    Series Episode 006


    In this episode I discuss a common emotional phenomenon that goes by many names but that I refer to as "Red Light Syndrome".  Born from an experience I had in my early 20's at a music recording studio I was sidelined by this powerful and often paralyzing emotional response to stress.  Listen as I walk you through my experience and the key takeaway from it that I learned.  Be sure to store this little nugget away and keep it in the back of your mind for later when I come back to revisit this topic in future episodes.

    So don't forget to follow the show so that you are notified when new episodes drop so you can stay up to date on this journey!  And don't forget to check out my website for additional content, blogs, news and upcoming events.

  • ANXIETY & THE RINGING TELEPHONE
    Aug 24 2023

    S01E03 | MENTAL HEALTH & THE BENEFITS OF COUNSELING
    Series Episode 007

    Thanks to a Readers Digest article I read when I was a kid, I not only didn't learn how to deal with my anxiety during my parent's divorce but also believed all "self-help" related books, articles, whatever was complete bullshit.  (Listen to the PSYCHOBABBLE BULLSHIT episode for more on that!) 

    In this episode, I discuss the advice in that article that I call "The Ringing Telephone Advice" and how serious my anxiety levels would get while going through my parent's divorce. 

    Buckle up . .. .this one gets a little bumpy!
