Welcome to Episode 75 of the Mindful Men Podcast - Mastering our Mindset with Ashton Levarek



Many of us can struggle with the internal dialogues running rampant in our minds. They beat us down, hold us back, and force us to play life safely. And in the process, we often forget our true selves, and resort to an auto-pilot life that doesn't serve us. But we can change the way we see ourselves, turn off the auto-pilot and start living an authentic life. 

Helping us to do this is Ashton Levarek. Ashton is a family man, retired special forces soldier and real estate investor with Valkere Investment Group. He is passionate about living his best life, as well as helping others do the same. Our chat bounces between family life, careers, and the mindset we need to explore our full potential. There are so many great takeaways from this episode - so make sure you grab a notebook before you sit down and hit play.

Welcome to Episode 74 - ADHD at 35 with Ange Nennie



Are you someone who has gone through life feeling different? Or maybe you’ve been told over and over again that you ARE different - but you were never told how or why?



This happened to this week’s guest Ange Nennie. It wasn’t until she was 35 that an ADHD diagnosis put the pieces together. And as we talk about in this week’s episode, so many adults have experienced similar to Ange. 



This was a wonderful chat that provided great insight into ADHD from a lived and learned experience. It also introduces us to ADHD Coaching, which can help ADHDers focus more on the future and less on their traumatic past.

Welcome to 73 of the Mindful Men Podcast - Mental Health and Entrepreneurship with Krisztian Riez

Mental illness can often knock us for flat, causing us to feel like we’re worthless and can’t achieve anything in life. But this doesn’t have to be the case. 

In fact, many people use their lived experience of mental illness to inspire change in others. And this week’s guest is no different. 

This week I’m chatting with Krisztian Riez who shares his struggles with mental illness, his approach to recovery, and his drive to help a billion people improve their mental health through start up businesses.  

It’s a great chat about triumph over adversity, and shows how mental illness doesn’t have to be your end game.

Welcome to Episode 71 - Addiction and Social Work with Joey Pagano

As a therapist with lived experience of mental illness, I place a lot of value in combining lived experience with professional drive. And whilst it’s not crucial that therapists have lived experience, it certainly helps to understand what our clients are telling us.

This week I’m talking to social worker Joey Pagano who shares his lived experience of heroin addiction, and how he uses this experience to help addicts in his community to step on their recovery path. 

Joey gets vulnerable about his addiction, and how it impacted his military career, relationships and ultimately resulted in jail time. But he also shares his phoenix moment, rising from the ashes of addiction to be a recovery cowboy and now 3x author with his latest book No Addict Left Behind out now (link in the show notes).

Welcome to Episode 70 - Self Sufficient Me with Mark Valencia

 

In recent years, I’ve discovered how good gardening can be for my mental health. It was a staple activity for me during COVID lockdowns, and then again as I recovered from burnout. And as it turns out… I’m not the only bloke who feels this way about my little patch of earth! 

 

This week, I’m joined by a military veteran turn YouTube star - Mark Valencia from Self Sufficient Me. 

 

What I love about this episode is how Mark also used gardening as a way to manage his mental health. I really valued how Mark was so open about his PTSD, and the insights he has into gardening, life and content creation. 

 

This episode also coincides with ANZAC Day 2023. On behalf of the Mindful Men community, I give my thanks and respect to all ANZAC personnel and their families - past and present.
