Beyond Well and a revisit with Dr. Jenna LeJune and how help someone struggling with anxiety.

This episode comes from an interesting perspective. It was recorded in 2020 when we were all still deep in the throws of Covid quarantine. Joe Biden had not yet been President, the election hadn't happened yet. We were all working remotely and not leaving our homes. There was still no vaccine on the horizon. We were all getting stir crazy as well as perhaps seeing a few bright sides to the "new normal". It's odd and intriguing to hear us talk about things through that lens.

One thing that was the same is Anxiety. What the heck is it and how do I deal with it and other peoples relationship with dealing with it.

Fortunately, we had an expert willing to record a show from inside her closet surrounded by pillows.

Enjoy.

This is a revisit from 2022.

This is a revisit from 2020.

This was recorded just a few weeks into Covid lockdown. It's a great interview but also interesting as we discuss how life was during quarantine.

Enjoy.

This interview is from 2019.

From the band Blind Pilot, our guest is Israel Nebeker. When Israel wasn't touring with the band, appearing on David Letterman, Ellen, or just being a part of Lollapalooza he took some time and sat down with us. There is nothing more wonderful than live music performed intimately in the studio. Israels words and lyrics are thoughtful and helpful for those struggling with finding their way through mental health.

Each year, we survey our listeners on their biggest questions about mental health.
It is surprising how often the questions get back to the basics: How do I know if I’m mentally ill or
just stressed? Where do I go for help? Does medicine help or hurt?
Dr. Greg Chasson answers your top mental health questions of 2024

This is a revisit to a show we did in 2019.

Dr. Jenna LeJeune and Dr. Brian Goff talk about navigating the holiday season, and dealing with internal and external stress.

It is a very organic discussion as it just "happened" while we were still rolling audio from another show. We took the conversation as a gift and used it as a show... it's the season of gift giving and receiving after all.

Enjoy.

happiness. How can you manage people’s grief, loss, or negative mood state differently? Listen in. And Happy Thanksgiving.
