#43 Resilience Is My Superpower & How It Can Be Yours Too With Paul Doughty
02/25/25 • 39 min
Resilience isn’t something we’re born with. Resilience can be developed. How? That’s exactly what we talked about with Paul Doughty!
Paul is a published author who’s just released his new book “Resilience My Ultimate Superpower: Empowering Young Lives to Overcome Challenges”.
We asked Paul what resilience means to him, what role resilience plays in his life and why he is helping young people specifically in becoming more resilient.
Paul has had a LIFE! From growing up with domestic violence to living on standby and just merely functioning. To getting therapy a divorce, beating alcohol addiction and Lyme disease. He opens up about it all and how therapy and specifically TMS therapy have saved his life more than once.Resilience My Ultimate Superpower: Empowering Young Lives to Overcome Challenges - Paul Doughty (our amazon affiliate link)

#42 From Getting Rejected By A Therapist To Actually Getting Help - Franz's Story
Franz tried to get therapy for the first time and got rejected on the phone. On this episode Franz opens up about his story and how he stayed on course to eventually get professional help.
He also talks about shame and shows us a new perspective, how shame is part of all of our life's in ways we sometimes cannot see. Today Franz changes the way we perceive shame and works with individuals like you and me to help "un-shame" them.
Make sure to give this one a listen! Franz even does a small guided meditation, so make sure not be driving during that part, or pause/skip it at that point.
