Man Made Podcast ep. 48 Creating Harmonious Relationships
Welcome to the ManMade Podcast
This Podcast is with Shawn Helvey and Adam Thorne. Shawn is a licensed behavioral health counselor and Adam is a graduate student in behavioral health counseling. They’ve known each other for over 25 years and talk every week about the trials and tribulations of life.
Creating harmonious relationships is like being part of an orchestra where everyone is playing different instruments. Imagine trying to play the violin while someone else is vigorously banging the drums right next to you – it's chaotic, loud, and you can barely hear yourself think, let alone create a symphony! This cacophony is much like the discord we face in our daily interactions when harmony is missing. Just like in music, where harmony adds depth and beauty, in life, harmonious relationships can be the difference between feeling like you're constantly in a solo battle with a cacophony of cymbals and experiencing the mental tranquility of a well-composed melody. So, for the sake of our mental health, let's strive to be maestros of our own emotional orchestras, ensuring that each relationship we have adds a note of peace, rather than a blast of chaos, to the symphony of our lives. This way, we can all enjoy the concert of existence, maybe even with a standing ovation from our serotonin and dopamine receptors.

Man Made Podcast ep. 46 Unexpected Events
Welcome to the ManMade Podcast
This Podcast is with Shawn Helvey and Adam Thorne. Shawn is a licensed behavioral health counselor and Adam is a graduate student in behavioral health counseling. They’ve known each other for over 25 years and talk every week about the trials and tribulations of life.
Alright, picture this: You're minding your own business, living your life, when suddenly, out of nowhere, life decides to throw a curveball at you. It's like, "Hey, here's a little surprise for ya!" And it's never a good surprise, right? It's always something ridiculous that makes you go, "Really? This is what we're doing now?"
So, what do you do? You gotta deal with it, but here's the kicker—you deal with it like Bill Burr would. First, you gotta face it head-on, with that classic Burr skepticism. You look at the situation, shake your head, and say, "Oh, fantastic. What's next? Aliens landing in my backyard asking for directions to the nearest Starbucks?"
Then, you gotta laugh at it. Not just a little chuckle, but that full-on, Bill Burr-style, sarcastic laugh that says, "I can't believe this is my life right now." It's all about finding the humor in the absurdity of it all. Because, let's face it, sometimes life's just a poorly written sitcom, and you're the main character dealing with the world's most absurd plot twists.
And finally, talk about it. Rant to your friends, your family, or even to a bunch of strangers at a stand-up show if that's your thing. Turn your misfortune into a hilarious story. Because when you think about it, the best way to deal with life's unexpected punches is to punch back with a joke. And who knows? Maybe you'll end up with a bit that's so good, it'll have people rolling in the aisles, forgetting all about their own crazy life plot twists.

Vital Path Companion
I largely live a life of extremes. Push to breaking, push beyond. “Recover”, push again. I’m seeking the third door option. Catching glimpses. I know I can maintain perspective and self care while improving myself. This podcast is so helpful to me because I feel I’m sharing the journey with two guys who face similar struggles, but through life experience and formal training are able to offer better ways to frame common situations. I highly recommend this podcast.
Awesome podcast about being better
This podcast has such great content. It’s all about being the best person you can be and shifting your mindset on work, personal life and relationships. I find the different perspectives that Adam and Shawn provide very beneficial. I can’t wait for more!
