Mental Health Moment

Therapist Lori Miller and her producer son Michael welcome you to Mental Health Moment with a Thanksgiving brush with nosy Aunt Martha. They tease the honest stories, practical fixes, and the faith moments that lay ahead in the podcast. Catch our debut episode next week!

⚾😀 I was hoping for a comeback win in the Yankees' season, but alas, it was not to be.

But if they had pulled it out, it would have been because each player owned his turn at the plate. 

You can find some parallels for this in your life outside the ballpark. 

The best thing about the holidays is spending time with family. 

But sometimes being around our families bring out some old patterns and anxieties we thought we had dealt with. 

You might find yourself slipping back into some feelings you don't like when you get around family.

You can't control your family, but you can control how you react and what (and who) you'll allow to mess with you.  

Joe and Lori share some ideas for how you can set some boundaries so you can really enjoy your holiday experience.

Welcome to the new Mental Health Moment podcast! Lori is now joined by her husband, Joe Miller, who is also a licensed mental health therapist. 

On top of being mental health professionals, we've got 30 years of marriage under our belts, too! We've certainly learned a lot about each other and ourselves in the process.

We'll share some of our experiences and riff a bit on life. 

Together we'll unpack some of the ways we've observed ourselves and others overcome life's challenges.

In our very first episode, we share our thoughts on our new journey together, and talk a bit about discouragement.

It's easy to make plans and draw lines in the sand with our intentions. But our world doesn't change until we start running. To move forward, we have to take action. I was confronted with that reality last week while waiting for a storm that, thankfully, never came to South Florida. But it gave me the time and space to reconsider my intentions - and resolve to run with intention.

Most of us don't want to show our anger at work too much. You can get a reputation for being difficult. But you can show anger in less visible ways and still put yourself under a lot of stress. 

Here are a few things to know about anger and how to handle it at work.

So yesterday I was talking about how it's okay to quit sometimes. Now today, I want you to find ways to give yourself a break and keep going. Life sure is confusing sometimes!

We all know that saying, "Winners never quit and quitters never win." Is that true? There are plenty of folks in history who stopped doing one thing that wasn't working for them so they could pull a lever on something that does. But  how do you know?

We can get a few clues from this weekend's kerfuffle over NFL quarterback Andrew Luck. He's a quitter. For all the right reasons. Here are a few things to take away from his story.
