Explicit for some language.  This is an off script episode - that means it isn't as "produced" as the other episodes, it's just me talking to you.  ***** If you or someone you love is the kind of person who has to work at good mental health, then this is for you... I'm the same. I've been in therapy since 4th grade and so I'm no stranger to the challenges that face people who live with anxiety and depression. If there's one thing I know, it's that this is a really tricky time of year - and this year it's unlike any we've experienced before. That's why I think it's really important for us to be mindful of the clock, the calendar, and our mental health.  There are 4 things out there that I see with the potential to disturb us: 1. the time change on Sunday 2. the election on Tuesday 3. the holidays coming up - which will be unlike any we've ever experienced 4. COVID is still on the calendar - and will be for a while In this episode I'll give you 10 things that you can do to take preventative action toward

I'm turning 40 this week! The older I get, the more important I find it to be in the moment, in the present. The truth is though, I spend most of my time trying to avoid it, retreating to my past or my future. In this episode I'll talk about why I think that is and how I've found ways to tether myself to the here and now.  Here are some notable quotes from the episode:  "As long as we look to our environment or other people to provide our happiness, our well-being, or to fulfill our potential for us - we remain powerless." "So much of our lives are an act, a performance, scripted by a little kid." "Until we release our parents we will continue to see ourselves as a child." "We’re so afraid of the present that we’ll create an artificial future to worry about just to avoid the here and now."

In 1998 I found myself on the wrong end of a pistol, which I later learned was part of a gang initiation – a young man was to approach a stranger at a gas station, steal their car, and before driving away shoot them in the chest at close range. He failed that day. I was given the best gift money could not buy, perspective. My eyes were violently opened, and what I saw to be true of my life was a demon I wrestled with for the next 18 ye
