The ManMade Podcast

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 Man Made Podcast ep. 29 Making Space in your Mind.

Welcome to the ManMade Podcast

Let's talk about the magical art of creating space in your mind to tackle those pesky stress storms head-on. Imagine your mind as a cluttered closet overflowing with thoughts, anxieties, and a few dusty old memories you thought you'd forgotten. Now, take a deep breath and start decluttering! Picture yourself tossing out those crumpled worries and sweeping away the cobwebs of doubt. By making room in your mental abode, you're giving yourself a VIP seat to the Stress Olympics, where you'll be the reigning champion of calm. So, next time stress knocks at your door, greet it with a confident grin and a "Hey there, Stress! Mind if I make some room for you?" And remember, folks, creating space isn't just for yoga studios and minimalist homes – it's your golden ticket to a calmer, more collected you.

Keep practicing!

The Man Made Podcast ep. 31 Chaos

Welcome to the ManMade Podcast

Imagine Chaos walking into a room – it's like a tornado with commitment issues. Chaos can't find its socks, let alone its life's direction. It's like trying to follow a map drawn by a caffeinated squirrel. You're looking for your keys in the fridge and wondering how socks ended up in your cereal box. Living in chaos is like participating in a reality show where the rules change every minute. Making impulsive decisions in this chaos is like trying to catch a greased pig – exhausting and destined for laughs (or maybe just faceplants). Escaping chaos by binge-watching reality TV might feel like a master plan, but it's more like running from a bear with a "Free Hugs" sign – disaster awaits. Instead, let's talk about organizing. Yes, it's scarier than a horror movie for your clutter, but it's like giving chaos an eviction notice. Take an inventory of yourself, but be prepared to find oddities like that lost sock from earlier. And when the chaos subsides (just like the sugar rush after a candy binge), set some goals. Not like "Find Atlantis" goals, but realistic ones. It's like treating your life like a well-organized closet – still a mystery, but at least you're not buried under an avalanche of unmatched socks.
