It is crucial to strive for clear, effective communication to avoid these negative impacts on mental health.

The ManMade Podcast - The Man Made Podcast ep. 30 Scarcity and Abundance Mindset
play

08/22/23 • 51 min

Welcome to the ManMade Podcast

This Podcast is with Shawn Helvey and Adam Thorne. Shawn is a licensed behavioral health counselor and Adam is a graduate student in behavioral health counselling. They’ve known each other for over 25 years and talk every week about the trials and tribulations of life.

The Abundance Mindset and the Scarcity Mindset walk into a bar. Abundance struts in, high-fiving everyone and ordering the most extravagant drink on the menu. Scarcity, on the other hand, sidles up to the counter, scrutinizing the prices and contemplating if tap water is a viable option. Abundance is all about believing there's enough dessert for everyone at the buffet of life, while Scarcity acts like the last slice of pizza is about to be snatched away by a pizza-eating ninja. Now, why should you cozy up with the Abundance Mindset? Well, it's like having a mental spa day for your brain. When you embrace abundance, you're waving goodbye to stress and inviting in gratitude. It's like turning your mind into a VIP lounge where positivity parties all day long. Who wouldn't want to RSVP to that?

The ManMade Podcast - The Man Made Podcast ep. 37. Navigating Worry
play

10/19/23 • 52 min

Welcome to the ManMade Podcast

This Podcast is with Shawn Helvey and Adam Thorne. Shawn is a licensed behavioral health counselor and Adam is a graduate student in behavioral health counseling. They’ve known each other for over 25 years and talk every week about the trials and tribulations of life.

Navigating the convoluted realm of worry is akin to being a bartender at a cognitive cocktail party where 'Anxiety Ale' and 'Dread Draught' are the drinks du jour. A therapist, in this scenario, dons the hat of a seasoned mixologist, concocting a blend of mindfulness mimosas to help their client sober up from a hangover of hysteria. Amidst the cacophony of crippling concerns and fears that frolic around like unruly patrons at last call, our therapist employs a dash of dark humor as a makeshift bouncer to show these tormenting thoughts the exit. With a serving of sassy repartees and a garnish of gutsy giggles, they venture through the tavern of trepidation, showing that sometimes the best way to tackle worry is to roast it with a toast, chortle at the chaos, and perhaps engage in a metaphorical pub-crawl through the psyche, discovering that the path to emotional sobriety is paved with laughter, a shot of courage, and a chaser of cheer.

The ManMade Podcast - Man Made Podcast ep. 23 Taking on Responsibility
play

06/01/23 • 39 min

Welcome to the ManMade Podcast

This Podcast is with Shawn Helvey and Adam Thorne. Shawn is a licensed behavioral health counselor and Adam is a podcaster. They’ve known each other for over 25 years and talk every week about the trials and tribulations of life.

As young people transition into adulthood, taking on increased responsibility becomes a fundamental part of their development. This crucial step shapes their character, cultivates a sense of ownership, and prepares them for the complexities of adult life. By leaning into responsibility, they gradually acquire crucial life skills such as problem-solving, time management, and decision-making. They learn to navigate the world independently and to take accountability for their actions. As they age, they start to understand that responsibility, while occasionally challenging, brings with it a deep sense of satisfaction and self-fulfillment. Embracing responsibility early on helps them grow into resilient adults capable of thriving amidst life's unpredictability. Furthermore, it enriches their lives, empowering them to pursue their ambitions, contribute meaningfully to society, and lead a life characterized by self-efficacy and integrity.

The ManMade Podcast - Man Made Podcast ep. 45 Awkward Interactions
play

01/25/24 • 52 min

Welcome to the ManMade Podcast

This Podcast is with Shawn Helvey and Adam Thorne. Shawn is a licensed behavioral health counselor and Adam is a graduate student in behavioral health counseling. They’ve known each other for over 25 years and talk every week about the trials and tribulations of life.

Awkward interactions are like uninvited guests at the party of life; they just show up, usually at the most inopportune times. Picture this: You're in an elevator, and your brain decides it's the perfect moment to forget every social norm. You blurt out to a stranger, “Nice weather inside, isn’t it?” and immediately wish you could vanish into thin air. But fear not! The key to overcoming these cringe-worthy moments lies in embracing them with a hint of humor. Think of them as mental burpees - slightly uncomfortable but great for your social fitness. Next time you find yourself in the middle of an awkward tango, just smile and think, “Well, this will make a great story for my pet turtle!” Remember, everyone has these moments, and they’re just tiny blips in the grand scheme of things. So, laugh it off, maybe share your awkward tale with a friend, and watch how a little chuckle can turn a face-palm moment into a fun anecdote. It’s like giving your mental health a high-five!
