Great podcast on Mental Health
I recently connected with John on LinkedIn as a fellow therapist. I have started listening to his podcast episodes on my commute. John is relatable, engaging and knowledgeable. I most recently listened to the episode on âwhat ifâ and appreciated Johnâs tips regarding challenging the false beliefs, even as a clinical therapist myself I need this reminder.

Powerful & Inspiring
Really enjoyed listened to Johnâs podcast on unresolved grief. Having experienced a significant unexpected loss myself, his comments really hit home for me. I love how he mentioned how we can always have a âtestimony of Godâs Grace in the middle of tragedy.â

Spot on assessment of trauma in our schools.
I am a first time listener and checked out the episode on Adverse Childhood Experiences in Our Schools(June 7, 2021). Unfortunately, the episode was too accurate. I was a public school teacher with 150 5th-graders over two years and the amount of kids who lack a stable home environment is heartbreaking. There are so many things the teachers and schools try to do, but it never seems to be enough. Keep bringing attention to this.

First time listening
Great area of interest for me as a therapist in schools for over 15 years working with developmental disabilities and mental heal kids. Also in my doctorate program for mental health policy. I am interested on getting trained teachers and staff in schools to help a growing issue for youth today.

New daily listener!
Just started this show today and it is awesome. Itâs a lot of great information that can lose peopleâs interest in some cases but he is so genuine in how he delivers it and just pulls you in. I also find it really encouraging as someone trying to pursue a career as a behavior therapist.

Great Content & Well Delivered
I've listened to a number of John's podcasts and periscopes and he does a great job! I come from a family that didn't talk about mental illness, phobias, stress and anxiety. To a large extent John has been very educational for me and given me some practical knowledge about topics, scenarios and people we all interact with. Keep up the good work John. I look forward to hearing episodes!

Very applicable!
Found John through Instagram (of all places) and after seeing a few of his posts about his show I decided to finally listen in. Not only did I enjoy the latest episode that he had downloaded, but went ahead and listened to EVERY episode he had published so far for this podcast! Even though I couldnât apply every message he gave to my own life, there were many actionable tips that this content provides that I was able to use. Thanks so much and keep killing it! - Allie, Passion In Business Podcast

- How The Internal Family Systems Model Can Help Build Confidence Online With Wendy KendallHow The Internal Family Systems Model Can Help Build Confidence Online With Wendy Kendall Wendy Kendall is co-founder of The Self-Led Practiceâthe healthy virtual workplace for mental health professionals. She is a British Chartered Occupational Psychologist and Internal Family Systems Practitioner who specializes in helping self-employed psychologists how to grow their private practices. She started her 25-year career as a psychologist for the British Army before moving overseas and running her own talent development consultancy. When it comes to building confidence online, the Internal Family Systems Model (IFS) has proven to be an incredibly effective tool for self-employed psychologists. IFS is a therapeutic model that promotes self-leadership and self-discovery. It's based on the idea that we all have an "internal family" of parts, each with their own needs and desires, and that by learning to recognize, understand and work with these parts, we can create a balanced and self-nurturing environment within ourselves. In Wendy Kendall's approach to IFS, she takes into account the unique characteristics of each individual's internal family and uses her experience as an occupational psychologist to create an environment that is more conducive to self-development and self-confidence. She helps her clients to recognize, understand and work with their internal parts in order to build a healthy relationship with themselves and their environment. This in turn can help them to build confidence online and in their professional life. Wendy has created a series of online courses and resources to help her clients build their self-confidence, including webinars, workshops, and online courses designed to help them develop their self-awareness and create a space for self-exploration. In addition, she has created a private online community where her clients can share experiences, get support and resources, and engage in conversation with other professionals in the field. By understanding how their internal family works, Wendy's clients can better understand how to manage their feelings, thoughts, and behavior in order to create an environment that is conducive to self-growth and development. Through this process, they can learn to recognize and value their own strengths and weaknesses and use them to their advantage in order to become more confident and successful online. As a psychologist, Wendy Kendall has helped countless people gain more self-confidence and build better lives. With her unique insight and experience, she has created an amazing tool to help mental health professionals gain more control of their lives and build their businesses by building their confidence online.

- How NuLife Virtual Is Revolutionizing Behavioral Health Treatment With J.D. MeintsHow NuLife Virtual Is Revolutionizing Behavioral Health Treatment With J.D. Meints J.D. Meints is the Founder & CEO of NuLife Virtual, a Digital Behavioral Health Platform & APP. J.D. has been an entrepreneur in tech for more than 20 years, first in the real estate sector and then in an e-commerce company. He was successful as a businessman, and that success led in part to a lifestyle of drinking and drug use. For years he kept it together, partying hard, feeding his addiction, then recovering enough to operate his business and keep his family intact. But in 2012 the walls began to crumble around him. First, he was kicked out of his own business. Then, after a particularly hard night, his wife confronted him with an ultimatum: Get sober or get out. âThat was the last straw,â says Meints. That night he drove around their California neighborhood trying to decide what to do next. For a week he drove around town to different Alcoholics Anonymous meetings but couldnât get up the nerve to walk inside. Then heâd go home and lie to his wife that heâd been to the meeting. âA week later, I finally went into a meeting, and I never looked back,â says Meints. Baring his soul with honesty and vulnerability to a group of strangers was eye-opening for Meints, and it was also just the beginning. Pretty quickly, his entrepreneurial nature was triggered once again, and he dove headlong into in-person treatment centers. He launched his own brick-and-mortar clinic in California, and the experience of helping others face the demons he was so familiar with changed his life. âIâll never forget picking up our first patient from the airport. To watch him go through this transition was amazing, and then to get these phone calls from moms, dads, or brothers, saying, you gave them their life back. I knew everything in my life had led me to this point.â Once he had a few years of running physical rehab clinics under his belt, Meints decided it was time for a platform upgrade. From his experience in tech as a serial entrepreneur, he knew there were ways to improve care and lower costs, and that addiction recovery was lacking in its tech infrastructure. Thus, Nulife Virtual was born. Learn more about NuLife Virtual at nulifevirtual.com Smells Like Humans Like listening to funny friends discuss curious human behavior.
