Ep. 75/ Beyond Well/ Grief in a Bottle Mar 30, 2020

Show notes

Leslie Barber’s husband died of cancer in June of 2015. And as Leslie points out, nothing she’d done in her life prepared her for the shock, trauma, and loneliness of her husband’s death. Leslie was struck by how unprepared her friends and even her family were in dealing with her grief. Our culture is incredibly good at celebrating life. We need to learn to get better at acknowledging and coping with grief, the other end of the human cycle. Leslie’s support group at www.AGriefWarrior.com is a place to begin healing.

Ep. 74/Doctors Only/On Shame. Mar 23, 2020

Show notes

Shame is the most painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior. But, as Dr. Goff and Dr. LeJeune discuss, shame roots at the very being of what we care about most. With an increase in public shaming, the potential of depression, isolation, and self-harm increases. The point, as Dr. LeJeune says, is to always offer a fellow human the path to retribution.

Ep. 71/ Doctors Only/Why Therapy? Mar 16, 2020

Show notes

The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung once said: “People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls.” Perhaps that is why therapy is often seen as a last stitch effort to reclaim something people feel that they’ve lost—their health, their happiness, or their relationships. In this interview, Dr. Jenna LeJeune and Dr. Brian Goff discuss the reasons behind therapy, and their ardent belief that most people wait far too long (or until they are in crisis), to face their souls, their problems, and their habituated patterns in life.

Ep. 67/ Mitchell Jackson/Race, Rage, and Kobe Feb 26, 2020

Show notes

Mitchell Jackson is an American author. His critically acclaimed book, Survival Math earned its title as Mitchell recalled calculating what it would take to survive the poverty stricken neighborhood of North Portland and the friends and family members who had become thugs, murderers, and drug dealers. Mitchell’s ascent from drug runner to prison inmate to a literary phenom is a reflection of his deep study and thinking on topics ranging from black history to Kobe’s lasting legacy on young black men in America. We invite Mitchell to @BeyondWell to regularly discuss race, rage, and how to stay sane in some of the craziest times in American history.
