Explicit for some language.  This is an off script episode - that means it isn't as "produced" as the other episodes, it's just me talking to you.  ***** If you or someone you love is the kind of person who has to work at good mental health, then this is for you... I'm the same. I've been in therapy since 4th grade and so I'm no stranger to the challenges that face people who live with anxiety and depression. If there's one thing I know, it's that this is a really tricky time of year - and this year it's unlike any we've experienced before. That's why I think it's really important for us to be mindful of the clock, the calendar, and our mental health.  There are 4 things out there that I see with the potential to disturb us: 1. the time change on Sunday 2. the election on Tuesday 3. the holidays coming up - which will be unlike any we've ever experienced 4. COVID is still on the calendar - and will be for a while In this episode I'll give you 10 things that you can do to take preventative action toward good mental health during this season.  NOTE: I am not a mental health expert. You should consult your doctor or therapist for your own mental health needs. I can only speak to my experience living with depression and anxiety, it is from that perspective that I offer you this information.

I'm turning 40 this week! The older I get, the more important I find it to be in the moment, in the present. The truth is though, I spend most of my time trying to avoid it, retreating to my past or my future. In this episode I'll talk about why I think that is and how I've found ways to tether myself to the here and now.  Here are some notable quotes from the episode:  "As long as we look to our environment or other people to provide our happiness, our well-being, or to fulfill our potential for us - we remain powerless." "So much of our lives are an act, a performance, scripted by a little kid." "Until we release our parents we will continue to see ourselves as a child." "We’re so afraid of the present that we’ll create an artificial future to worry about just to avoid the here and now."

ADULT CONTENT WARNING - not suitable to listen to with young children.  Really honored to have had the opportunity to interview 2 folks who are also members of the High Performance Mastermind. While at a mastermind event in Sundance, Utah, I invited Chad Woodard and Alyssa Turner to sit down for an interview. Enjoy their stories and be sure to check them out online at... Alyssa Turner on Instagram Mom of Five Motivational Speaker Personal Coach People Lover Chad Woodard on Instagram Dr. Chad Woodard: Flirting with death has a way of changing someone — it certainly did me. In 1998 I found myself on the wrong end of a pistol, which I later learned was part of a gang initiation – a young man was to approach a stranger at a gas station, steal their car, and before driving away shoot them in the chest at close range. He failed that day. I was given the best gift money could not buy, perspective. My eyes were violently opened, and what I saw to be true of my life was a demon I wrestled with for the next 18 years. What lies herein with this concept and movement is what I have been taught, what I have failed with, what successes I have fought to achieve, and the journey that is yet to unfold. I now live an unapologetic life seeking answers to questions, the questions I find most influential and intriguing: What does it take to be a truly healthy person, inclusive of all aspects of wellness? What skills and behaviors create leaders that are not only inspirational but infectiously and meticulously worthy of taking their charge among others? What aspects of human potential do we have the capacity to unlock, and why do so many of us hide behind fear to blunt that potential? And if we can explore answers to those questions and learn from our journey, what then is possible for us to achieve?
