Episode 24
Shari James, RN
Nearly 1 in 4 men under the age of 30 suffer from erectile dysfunction and the rates are much higher when we look at the entire lifespan of a man. Most men choose to take Viagra to deal with this problem. Although there is nothing wrong with this approach under most circumstances Viagra doesn’t address the underlying cause of the issue.
As a mental health or other healing arts practitioner, it’s clearly important to have a broader understanding of the causes of sexual disorders. According to our guest, Shari James there are a number of areas that typically need to be addressed in order to resolve ED. Those areas include: learning how to maintain a healthy mental state and releasing strong emotions regularly, increase circulation in the body, decrease stress, retraining the nervous system if trauma exists, harnessing and managing sexual energy, and saying yes to reality and no to porn.
Episode 23
Paul Scheele, Ph.D.
Mental health professionals are mission-oriented in their career. They love to serve their clients, especially, when they are doing it on their own terms. Many professionals choose to do this in private practice in order to control their own hours, increase their hourly wage and reduce the paperwork. But therapists are not trained as business owners. They often find themselves with a lack of know-how around marketing, time management and how to operate at peak performance levels.
It’s essential to feel aligned with your own inner genius as an entrepreneur. Whether you are seeing clients one-on-one, creating a clinic or something more expansive, your inner genius will guide the way and keep you out of trouble. Our guest, Dr. Paul Scheele, is going to discuss how to tap into the entrepreneurial genius that’s already living inside of you so you can achieve your goals in private practice without waiting years on end for something to happen.

Episode 19
Keith Kurlander, MA, LPC
Keith Kurlander, CEO of Higher Practice, is going to share his personal story of an extremely challenging crisis that began in college and led to discovering a mystical connection between trauma and spirituality, and what’s possible in the evolution of the human spirit.
While trauma has been the subject of countless studies and dialogue among the psychotherapeutic community for years, complex PTSD and spiritual dissociation is a topic that is often overlooked but extremely relevant. Many sufferers of complex PTSD identify as spiritual and highly sensitive to non-ordinary states. Which begs the question, “why do so many people with complex PTSD have so much access to mystical experiences?”
In this episode, Keith will discuss why so many people with complex PTSD have had profound spiritual experiences, when those encounters are positive resources, and when to exercise caution with spiritual practices.
Episode 18
Reuvain Bacal, MA
This episode comes at a timely moment where so many women are speaking out about the ways that they have been mistreated by men both in the workplace but also elsewhere.
Men traditionally don’t have a strong emotional support system built into their lives. They can easily stuff their emotions and let those emotions take over in really unhealthy ways. This can lead to many stereotypical behaviors that cause men to relate to women inappropriately. In addition, men can live compromised lives and not reach their potential.
Our guest, Reuvain Bacal, is going to be talking about men’s work and what’s necessary to help men embody their purpose and their power in a healthy and constructive way in this world.
Episode 17
Joe Sanok, MA, LLP, LPC
As therapists, we have so much important wisdom to share with the world. Think of how many lives you’ve impacted sitting with clients.
Many therapists decide as their career develops that they want to have more of a multidimensional service that’s not just about sitting one-on-one with clients. And they also realize that they want to be able to scale their business, both in the amount of people they are reaching but also in the amount of money they are earning.
Podcasting is one way you can get your voice heard by thousands or potentially even millions of people. Creating a podcast has never been easier. The barriers to entry are low. With a little marketing know-how and some basic tech knowledge you can be up and running and get thousands of downloads quite quickly. This means you can reach people who have never heard of you that need your help and you can begin to expand your business in ways you may have never thought were possible.
In this episode, Joe Sanok will cover some podcast basics such as how much time it takes to learn how to set up a podcast, monetizing what you love, how to deal with starting a podcast if you’re fearful of technology, and a success story of a therapist using a podcast to increase their impact on the world.
