This is the one year episode! I've been on the platform for a year, since Anchor 2.0 and life been make a 180-turn ever since. Anchor has allowed me to quickly execute podcasts, speak about topics I never thought I could, and connect with people I never thought I could. I met my lady-friend, @thedarlingrage on this platform and as the platform grows, I'm feeling the perks of that as well. Thanks Anchor and thank you fans!

Today on the show I speak with the lovely Emily Prokop, host of "The Story Behind" a podcast focused on the story behind every day things. She is a great talent who was nice enough to share with me her diagnosis of ADHD and how's been able to make connections to past behaviors based on that diagnosis. Females are a bit more difficult to diagnose as having ADHD so we speak a bit the cognitive aspects of ADHD. We also talk about her podcast and some of the topic she speaks about. You could say it's the story behind "The Story Behind."

Today on the show we're talking about replacing apologies with affirmations. Specifically talking about replacing apologies that come from insecurities and assumptions. A simple reframing of "sorry" into "thank you" can do so much for building relationships, not playing the victim, and empowering yourself to continue on a positive mental health journey. Put on your comfy socks and get set for a lovely episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about learning styles and mental health. I talk a bit about my past as a difficult learner and how I've been able to take the reigns as an adult to figure out ways to nurture my intelligence without feeling like I'm not able to keep up with the expectations of others. Learning my own style of acquiring information has allowed me to make for lost time in a school system that wasn't focused on my individual needs, which absolutely had a negative effect on my upbringing and social life. I'm sure many of you out there feel the same. So let's gather around the fire and get set for a story of childhood educational difficulty on this episode of DOPEamine.

Today on the show I have Karina Pardus, a musical composer who helps creators to add musical flavor to their work. She's also dealt with postpartum depression, so we spent much of our time talking about that, the effect it's had on her life and the changes she's made to improve her situation. There's a lot of great information here if you're someone who has dealt or is currently dealing with this difficult situation. There is a unique level of stigma to explore when it comes to mothers and their children. You'll absolutely feel a little more brave after this episode of DOPEamine.

Today on the show we're talking about the concept of survival bias. What does that mean? It's what successful happen to fall into occasionally when they reach a level of success and start sharing advice with others. This means they may start ignoring certain aspects that led to their success and trying to pass that off as the only way to succeed. It can have negative effects as it can make you feel inadequate when you don't reach the same level of success quickly. Get set for a realtalk episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we talk about failure and all of the emotional components that come with it. For most part, failure is a very emotional experience for ourselves and those around us. We experience shame, sadness, depression and defeat at the hands of failure but when it's all said and done it helps us most to look at failure as a means for us to move forward. Failure provides us with feedback for what we've just experienced in order to learn from it. Knowing this phrase "Failure is Feedback" can help when looking back at failures and comparing it to where you are today. Dust your shoulders off and get ready for the latest episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show I talk about coaching versus therapy. What's the difference between the two? How can one be more helpful than the other? Therapy is important for assessing your mental state and making sense of the past while coaching can be an important aspect of moving forward when you're feeling stuck. Like most things it is up to the individual and their personal needs. So sit on the couch and let it all out on the latest episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about individualism. What does it take to be your own person? Does that always involve being the lone wolf? The short answer is no, you can be a part of a group or community and still be an individual but it's a matter of determining whether or not that community is true to your values and gives you the opportunities you're looking for. I talk a little about The Rachel Divide and how that influenced this discussion. Grab your closest friends and join me for the latest episode of DOPEamine!
