Sum of Life

In this episode, I talk about how engaging with things matters. I go through some examples of different types of engagement and how they can either lead to good or bad results, in relation to mental health. A lot of this has to do with anxiety and feeding on obsessions, but I hope I covered a couple of bases in this episode. Lastly, I hope you enjoy:)

In today's episode, I had Dan Walsh on for the 2nd time to discuss the build-up to his first MMA fight. We also discussed what it was like during and after the fight. Of course, I was really interested in hearing about the mental aspect of the whole showdown, but we also touched on physical health as well, and MMA generally. Lastly, I hope you enjoy:)

That hard place that you're in right now, believe it or not, it will pass. We are not eternally stuck in these places and mindsets, and change is very much so real. Let someone know what kind of thoughts you're having. Sharing and hearing feedback can be life-changing.

This is also partially a letter to my younger self. Lastly, I hope you enjoy:)

In this episode, I discuss some of my personal experiences with gynecomastia. I just wanted to be able to relate to anyone who is going through a hard time because of gynecomastia. It's completely normal to feel upset from having this condition. Please stay strong and don't do anything harmful to yourself. I was there when I had this problem, but I got through it and you can too. Lastly, I hope you enjoy:)

In today's episode, I simply try to explain why OCD cannot be used as an adjective. Many people will throw around the words, "I'm so OCD", etc. This is just another common misconception in our culture about OCD.
