Season 3 Episode 12

I'm quite proud of this episode. I have three of the smartest, wicked funny and passionate mental health professionals that have been through the Crisis Clinician experience:

Steve Bisson, MA LMHC
Straight To The Point Coaching

Erika Hansen, LMHC LPC
Holbein Counseling Services

John Wiesch, LMHC LCPC
Ayas Psychotherapeutic Interventions

We discuss our journeys from crisis clinician work experiences to private practice, what we see in what doesn't work with community mental health, what we would like to see improve, and what gives us some hope that things may be changing for the better.

Season 3 Episode 11

Dr. Karen Cramer, owner and optometrist of her practice 20/20 Eyecare Solutions, joins me to have a layman's discussion of our personal experiences with our health and mental health, and how we found our eating habits affected it. 

We do talk about food and nutrition, but we don't set out to demonize foods. Everyone has to eat according to what they have access to, what is affordable, and what environment folx have to prepare their food in. From each of our specific careers, we see how nutrition affects those persons we work with as well as our colleagues, family and friends.

PLEASE NOTE: We discuss multiple topics and some may be distressing to listeners: discussion food and eating routines.

Season 3 Episode 6

My guest, Steven Kmiec, PhD, is back for part two of the discussion regarding science behind glass and honey. 

So much of what we discuss comes from passion to know more about how things work, what happens if we try to change it, and what do we learn when it doesn't work out. Much like how we as humans move through our lives, society, cultures, and how we negotiate our way in and out of relationships. Which path do we take? How passionate are we about what we want? Will it work out?

Season 3 Episode 5

The pandemic kicked off all sorts of society changes. One of the many shifts was about people examining what the fuck were they doing with their time, their efforts, their energy. Then came along what media called The Great Resignation - and it was not all that great. What it did show was that many persons attempted to find their passion and make it work for them in their lives in various forms.

This episode, one of my favorite people returns, Steven Kmiec, PhD. He speaks to finding his passion for how the world works through science and through that science, finding his passion for art in glass blowing.

Season 3 Episode 3

There seems to be little discussion about living internationally, adjusting to life there whether for a month or for years, what does that do for your mental health, and what the fuck happens when it's about adjusting to living back in your home country.

Caroline Anderson, my guest and also my cousin, talks with me about living and working in Japan, I share my experiences after only a month away in Germany, and our experiences adjusting back to life in the US.

PLEASE NOTE: We discuss multiple topics and some may be distressing to listeners: discussion of anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.

Caroline, in her words, "I'm a married cat lady, who had a crazy idea to live in Japan for almost a decade. I went from midwestern suburbs to a tiny apartment in a city before Google translate. Yet somehow I made it work."

Season 2 Hiatus Special No. 3

I had the great good fortune to have a long conversation with the founder and CEO (as well as being an author) of Microcosm Publishing, Joe Biel.

Joe generously gifted me time from a busy schedule, running a successful independent publishing company to talk about coming to publishing, discussing the journey to where the company is now, and how mental health has been presented in books in previous years and what the books that are being written look like in more recent years.

Full disclosure, I'm a fan of Microcosm Publishing being a consumer of many of their books.

This final new episode of 2022 is hella good fun, interesting and I enjoyed my too short time chatting with Joe.


PLEASE NOTE: We discuss multiple topics and some may be distressing to listeners: discussion of suicide/suicidal ideation, and trauma.

Season 2 Hiatus Special No. 2

Whenever I hear the word "narcissistic," I always call to mind Eddie Izzard's "Deathstar Canteen" sketch especially this segment:
"Do you know who I am?"
"Do you know who *I* am?"
"This is not a game of Who The F*ck Are You..."

The term narcissistic gets used incorrectly all over the place, but Narcissistic Personality Disorder causes some serious damage in many relationships.

CEO and creator of The M.A.D. Beyond, Alexandra Skinner Walsh, joins me to discuss one area she has been working with clients for many years. It's been an area of such passion for Alex that she's gone and created an online ecourse about the personality disorder and how it affects persons in families and other relationships.

You can find more info on the ecourse on Alex's site here:
