Many of us go through life wearing masks...hiding who we truly are and trying to push down the pain of knowing the truth.  We may turn to alcohol, drugs, or other self destructive habits in order to distract us from reality.  Listen in as guests Marc Kantor and David Osterman discuss David's painful years of hiding his sexuality from his family and his wife and the drug abuse that resulted from trying to run from the pain.  David dives deep into his "a-ha" moment and switch in mindset after surviving a harrowing accident (while high) that almost took his life.   It's all about the mindset!

Have you ever felt like you were in the midst of a bad reality TV episode and all you could do was watch? If so, then this podcast is screaming your name! Join Dr. Laura for the very first episode of "From Mayhem to Mindset" as we tackle chaos head on.  Believe it or not, going from surviving to thriving  is all about the mindset! We'll discuss practical shifts in perspective, laugh at the absurdity of life, and ask the tough questions that help us understand how we got here and how we can move beyond the mayhem!

Some people may say they thrive in chaos, but for most of us, living in a world of madness and mayhem can send us spiraling. We may choose the wrong relationships, behave impulsively, or self-sabotage. Why do we continue these patterns, and how can we break free? It all comes down to mindset! We may be influenced by external factors, but our early childhood programming sets the stage for how we view ourselves, others, and the world.

Hi, I’m Dr. Laura Ellick—a bestselling author, public speaker, multi-state licensed psychologist, and a mom. I’ve spent years helping people break free from limiting beliefs and step into their full potential. Join me and some incredible guests as we dive deep into the power of reprogramming your mindset for success in every area of your life.

Stop just surviving—live with intention, embrace your power, and start thriving!
