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.

Welcome to the ManMade Podcast

Controlling your temper is crucial from a therapeutic perspective as it impacts your mental well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life. It helps regulate emotions, fostering stability and resilience. Uncontrolled anger strains relationships and communication, while temper control improves interactions and builds trust. Managing anger reduces chronic stress, benefiting mental and physical health. It enhances problem-solving and decision-making skills by promoting clarity and rationality. Self-reflection and personal growth are fostered as individuals explore underlying triggers and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
