In this episode, Marc Fussell @marcfussell points out that practicing gratitude helps us focus on the positives in life, even during tough times, preventing us from getting trapped in negativity. We can navigate grief, sadness, and anger more effectively through positive psychology. 😄 By focusing on positive aspects, we are better equipped to handle life’s challenges and setbacks, viewing them as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. This makes it easier to handle life's challenges and boosts our overall well-being. Still at a loss on how to cultivate a healthy mindset?

In the digital age, authenticity is harder to maintain than ever. We just wrapped up another episode of Mornings in the Lab with Keith & Friends, where Keith Bilous, Jon Andersen, Christopher Martin, AJ Zeglen, and special guest D A N I E L H. dove into how social media impacts our mental health and lifestyle. Here are the key takeaways: Discipline beats the facade. • Success isn’t about what you show online—it’s about consistency and practice behind the scenes. Talent only takes you so far. • We drew examples from sports figures like Allen Iverson and Steph Curry, showing that hard work and mindfulness are the real game-changers. Mindfulness and exercise fuel success. • Integrating mindfulness into your daily routine boosts both mental well-being and professional growth. Success isn’t about what people see—it’s about what you do every day to build it. P.S. How do you stay authentic while navigating the noise of social media? Let’s hear your strategies.

Stop Striving for Happiness (And How To Accept ALL Your Emotions) New episode of The Evolved Caveman Podast is now out! One of the biggest sources of human suffering comes from our tendency to avoid uncomfortable emotions. We are not taught how to face these unpleasant, somewhat frequent experiences. Our first (and sometimes only) strategy is to suppress them, ignore them, or become overwhelmed by them. Yet how we meet and greet these difficult emotions with curiosity has everything to do with our well-being, resilience, and ability to connect with ourselves and others. Instinctually, we fight against our uncomfortable emotions. In doing so, we reinforce messages of “not good enough” or “I’m not supposed to feel this way.” In this poignant & actionable conversation with Dr. Beth Kurland, the author of You Don't Have to Change to Change Everything, we learn that, instead of forcing ourselves to feel “happy” and burying what is unpleasant, or instead of getting hooked by intense emotions, we can change our perspective. Dr. Beth offers six vantage points to shift to when difficult emotions arise. They include: · · · The Anchor View: Finding Stable Ground The Child View: Curiosity Is Your Superpower The Audience View: Learn to Zoom Out The Compassionate Parent View: How to Become Your Own Ally The Mirror View: Your Strengths and Imperfections Are Welcome Here The Ocean View: We’re All in This Together Being aware from each of these six vantage points allows us to cultivate inner stability, greater awareness of our internal strengths and inner resources, interconnection with the world around us and, perhaps most importantly, self-compassion. In this way, Dr. Beth provides a uniquely doable approach to healing that emphasizes changing our perspective instead of changing ourselves.

Investing in the Right Things: A Call to Action for Men In today’s fast-paced world, many men are focused on external success—money, career, status—while neglecting the most crucial investments: their mental health, emotional well-being, and personal growth. It’s time we shift our focus and start investing in the things that truly matter. This week on PSA: The Mental Health Podcast, we’re tackling the tough questions. Why do so many men avoid facing their internal struggles, and what is the cost of constantly pushing mental and emotional health to the side? The truth is, avoiding these issues doesn’t make you stronger; it just makes you more stuck. In a Psychology Today article, Dr. Guy Winch states: “Men are socialized to be self-reliant and emotionally reserved, which often prevents them from seeking help or acknowledging their mental health needs.” This episode is a call to break that cycle, encouraging men to start investing in themselves holistically—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. We’ll explore why healing unresolved trauma and building emotional resilience should be at the top of every man’s priority list. By addressing the root causes of stress and dissatisfaction, men can unlock greater clarity, resilience, and true success—not the kind defined by external validation, but the kind that’s rooted in authenticity and well-being. So, are you investing in the right areas of your life? Or are you avoiding the real work? Join us this week for an insightful conversation and practical steps to start investing in yourself where it truly counts. #MentalHealthAwareness #MensMentalHealth #ProfessionalGrowth #SelfCareForMen #EmotionalWellbeing #PSAPodcast #PersonalDevelopment #ResilienceBuilding #EmotionalIntelligence #MentalHealthMatters #WorkLifeBalance #StressManagement #GrowthMindset #RootCauseHealing #HolisticHealth #LeadershipDevelopment #MindsetShift #MenOfPurpose #EmotionalSupport #SelfInvesting #HealthyLiving #TraumaHealing #OvercomingChallenges #BreakTheCycle #FocusOnWhatMatters

✨ Trust, Safety, and Mental Health: Heather's Story of Resilience ✨ In this week's episode, we're honored to share Heather's journey, a powerful story of courage, loss, and finding peace in unexpected places. 💬 After climbing the ranks in product management, living in 53 countries, and helping lead major companies, Heather's career hit a breaking point when the weight of managing trust and safety in her organization took a serious toll on her mental health.

Inner peace is priceless 🧘♀️: Success isn't defined by your job title or paycheck—it's found in your peace of mind. Heather's decision to prioritize her well-being over her career is a reminder to all of us to protect our mental health. 2.

Heather teaches us that it's OK to say no and walk away from what doesn't serve us. 3. Vulnerability is strength 💪: Heather's story shows the immense power of sharing our struggles. By being vulnerable, she's created space for healing—not just for herself, but for others who may be struggling too. 4. It's OK to start over 🌱: After stepping away from her high-powered career, Heather found joy in simplicity—working with horses, coaching, and building a life that aligns with her values. Her story proves that it's never too late to redefine success.
