In NPR's recent Short Wave podcast episode, hosted by Regina G. Barber, an interview with Dr. Arash Javanbakht, a psychiatrist from Wayne State University in Michigan, dissects the science behind our primal bioreactions like fear, and why some of us enjoy (and actually benefit from) the experience of scary movies. "Part of your brain is terrified by the possible danger, even while our more recently evolved frontal lobes may know we're safe. You may feel more alive having fear in a controlled environment. Acute fears may also give you perspective on everyday fears that are not life threatening." - Barber So, if there's an upcoming conversation that's already making your palms sweat or heart pound, maybe the best practice run for getting more acquainted with these bioreactions is popping in a scary movie!

We can learn a lot from comedians. There’s inspiration everywhere, not just in our decks. I love podcasts for this reason. Jimmy Carr, the comedian dropping gems on The Diary Of A CEO podcast. 👤 On Character: You can’t have an easy life and a great character. Having stuff isn’t fun, getting stuff is fun because it’s not the pursuit of happiness, it’s the happiness of the pursuit. 🙏🏽 On Gratitude: It’s a way of reframing the way you see the world. 💔 On Failure: Failure is one of the great gifts of comedy. Learning how to lose gracefully is a great skill to have because it’s a good test on how much you want something. 🥳 On A Happy life: When it looks like work but feels like play to you. 💡Confucius Moment: Every man has two lives and his second begins when he realises he only has one. 🎥 On Self-Esteem: Confidence without competence is madness. You have to give the world irrefutable evidence that you are who you say you are. https://lnkd.in/ee4PJvDu

A few weeks ago, I found myself struggling. I was trying to make a decision for myself and my future, but without upsetting anyone around me. As an empathetic individual- this can keep me comfortable and sat in one place for longer than I mean to, without realising I’m incredibly uncomfortable. I needed to know how can I create my own path, create real change and be the voice I wish had been around when I was younger — whilst trapped in a job I didn’t enjoy or wanted to be a part of anymore? I left that job. I’ve never been happier. All I want to do is talk about what we as a society refuse to discuss. That is important. I want to talk about mental health, and conditions like bipolar, complex trauma, schizophrenia, psychosis and everything in between. I want to hear about peoples experiences, I want to understand the journey of a carer - mostly, I want to shout as loud as I can that because of a diagnosis- we aren’t dangerous or unsafe. We are people. I want to shout out about life in active addiction, and relapse stories and recovery journeys - and how much of what you see on TV is not accurate. Because let’s be honest - If the addiction propaganda was true - I’d look 55, missing teeth and wondering where life went wrong as I walked Melbourne streets. (Instead - I’m 39, I look 32, dress like I’m 18, listen to music from 2007 and don’t walk Melbourne’s streets too often these days being 4 years into recovery and a homebody). I want to go into workplaces and explain to management how they cannot approach every employee the same. Especially when it comes to neurodivergence. You (not all of you but a large number) in management, are the ones who need to change your mindset and approach to people you lead - Not the other way around. Having ADHD, being medicated, being treated by doctors - that’s how we survive. Stop shaming people for it. So now - I am coming to your workplaces and your schools, and your universities to talk about all sorts of things - but being mentally safe and psychologically healthy, that’s so important and so easy to achieve. All that needs to happen is our leaders learn how important it is to simply not speak to someone like they are nothing to you and keep your employees safe. This work has me consulting with some incredible people and organisations, who have been searching and trying to locate me to help them or reading my “I want to help you” emails with an opportunity To stay in a situation that is causing you to shrink instead of grow, that’s certainly not who I am and it’s not who millions of other people are. It’s time for everyone to grow and learn and I want to be a part of that. Which is the perfect time to announce the relaunch of our infamous (and incredibly popular) podcast - “We Should Not Discuss That” - where we (myself and my incredible wife Bree and amazing guests) will ABSOLUTELY continue to discuss what no one else will. Happy rest of 2024 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

In today's episode, we're going to discuss a profound yet overlooked aspect of emotional health, what I like to call Emotional Infiltration. This is about how the emotions and moods around you, from the media that you watch to the people that you interact with, can subtly affect and influence your own emotional states. Sometimes, this can happen even without you realising it. https://bit.ly/4bVhMN1

Some of you know that I host the #RevealingMen podcast. Recently, I decided to let someone else be the host for a day. I've heard other podcasters who've done this and thought it might be fun to try. I enlisted my good friend and work partner, Ken Porter to do the "honors." I hope this interview lives up to my expectations for the podcast: To provide thought-provoking ideas and interviews that pull back the curtain and reveal the inner lives of men. And to inspire listeners to reveal their true selves and live more balanced and authentic lives. https://lnkd.in/gWazTxiC #mensmentalhealth #mensresourcecenter #mensemotionalintelligence #

New Podcast Episode: Ever feel like 'good,' 'bad,' 'sad,' and 'mad' just don't fully capture what you're going through? We've all been there, struggling to say exactly how we're feeling only to end up using just basic words. Sometimes those simple words just don't cut it, am I right? Using more descriptive wording will help us to relieve stress and anxiety. It will also help those around us to know how to help us and to provide the support or nurturing that we desire. In today’s “Stress Talk” Live with Marcyline, we're diving deeper into the rich vocabulary of emotions. We’ll take an insightful look at more descriptive ways to communicate and share the wide range of emotions we experience as women. https://lnkd.in/eBNjDYkN

If you, or someone you know, is stuck in life, lacking motivation and a sense of vitality and excitement I suggest you check out this episode. I also discuss what is necessary to address this unique aspect of depression. https://lnkd.in/eAj-evpX
