    At 16 I Had Cancer. At 21 I Lost My Mom. At 22 My Best Friend Died. Here's Why I'm Grateful.

    Jayden Lee was 16 when a 120 resting heart rate and the inability to run a single lap led to a leukemia diagnosis. What followed was three and a half years of chemo, the sudden loss of his mom at 46, and the death of one of his best friends on a trip to Texas — all before he turned 23. By his own admission, Jayden hit rock bottom. He didn't have the tools to deal with the grief, so he buried it — until it came rushing back. This episode is the story of how he climbed out: the 100-mile run home from his final cancer appointment, the community that carried him through it, and the mindset shift that changed everything. We get into: Finding out he was sick through running — and running his way backWhy the first big run was "just a bandaid" on everything he hadn't facedThe "gap vs. gain" mindset and how it rewires the way you measure your lifeBuilding a "life resume" instead of just a work resumeCold plunges, community, and the tools that actually got him throughWhy men avoid the vulnerable work — and what it costs themSaying yes to one $100 Zoom call that snowballed into a completely different lifeJayden's takeaway is simple but it'll stick with you: time is undefeated, the materialistic stuff doesn't come to the hospital with you, and the only thing you carry at the end is the life you actually lived. Do something hard. Make every day count. And if you've been putting it off — do it already. Follow Jayden on Instagram: @_jaydenlee

    The Hidden Reason Men Stay Silent (And Why It’s Hurting Them)

    What if therapy worked outside the therapy office? In this episode, I sit down with Tyler Brockbank, founder of Greencrest Club, a therapist who is changing the way people think about mental health by bringing therapy into a golf simulator. We dive into why men often connect "shoulder-to-shoulder" instead of face-to-face, why anxiety loses power when we take action, and how many of us confuse anger for what's really happening underneath the surface. We also talk about: Why fear is often a liarHow anxiety lives in the future — not the presentWhy men struggle to express emotionsThe psychology behind "shoulder-to-shoulder" connectionWhy anger is often just the tip of the icebergBuilding self-trust through small winsThe real reason confidence isn't something you're born withWhy exposure changes your brainHow to know if your therapist is actually the right fitCommon misconceptions about therapyWhy naming your emotions can change your lifeTyler also shares how one TikTok completely changed the trajectory of his business and why Greencrest Club was created in the first place. If you've ever struggled with fear, anxiety, confidence, or opening up emotionally, this conversation is for you. 📍 Greencrest Club📍 Website: GreencrestClub.com📍 Instagram: @Greencrest_Club📍 TikTok: @GreencrestClub

    Don't Do It Alone: The Mental Game Nobody Talks About

    Jillian Berend was the only girl on her high school boys golf team — not because it was easy, but because she refused to go anywhere else. What started as a decision to just show up turned into years of outworking doubt, managing anxiety, and learning the hard way that your identity can't live in just one thing. In this episode, Jillian gets real about the mental toll of performing under pressure, why athletes and high achievers rarely talk about the struggle while it's happening, and the exact mindset tools she used to stop letting one bad moment define the whole game — on the course and in life. We get into the trap of tying your entire worth to one role — athlete, professional, parent — and why building a life outside of that one thing is what actually makes you better at it. Jillian also speaks openly about her own mental health journey, the loneliness of the recruiting grind, and why the most important thing you can do when things fall apart is look around at who's still there. If you've ever white-knuckled your way through something alone, this one's for you. Jillian hosts Playing Through Pod, a podcast spotlighting the mental health stories of collegiate athletes that nobody else is telling. You can't outwork isolation. Find your people.

    Why High Achievers Are Secretly Paralyzed (And How to Fix It) - With Therapist and Mental Performance Coach Olivia Papakyrikos

    Most high achievers aren't struggling because they're not working hard enough. They're struggling because the same drive that got them to the top is quietly shutting them down from the inside. In this episode, I sit down with Olivia Papakyrikos, a therapist and mental performance coach who works with elite performers — athletes, executives, and high achievers who appear fearless on the outside but are paralyzed by anxiety behind closed doors. We go deep on what's actually happening in your body when fear hits — the science behind fight, flight, and freeze — and why the smartest, most driven people are often the most prone to overthinking, rumination, and paralysis by analysis. Olivia breaks down the tools she uses with her clients that you can start using today: Why your nervous system can't tell the difference between a real threat and a high-stakes presentation — and how to regulate it in real timeThe visualization technique used by elite athletes to rewire their confidence before competitionHow self-compassion is not soft — it's the most evidence-based thing you can do to perform under pressureThe difference between suppressing emotions and processing them (and why suppression always wins short-term and destroys you long-term)How to choose the right therapist if you're a high performer — and the exact questions to ask before your first sessionIf you've ever felt like fear is the thing standing between you and the next level — this episode is the manual.

    Why You Ignore the Best Advice of Your Life

    Most people think they ignore good advice because they’re stubborn, lazy, or lack discipline.But the truth is far more human — and far more scientific. In this episode, we reveal the neuroscience and psychology behind why you don’t follow advice even when you know it would change your life. You’ll learn why advice feels threatening to your brain, why you resist ideas you agree with, why you repeat the same patterns, and why “knowing better” never automatically leads to “doing better.” Backed by research from UCLA, Harvard, MIT, and UCL, this episode breaks down identity, autonomy, emotional safety, belief updating, cognitive overload, and the biology of resistance — and shows you how to finally make advice land in a way that sticks. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with yourself… this episode will change how you understand your mind forever. FOLLOW THE SHOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA: TikTokInstagram
